“They are what we thought they were.”
The late NFL coach Dennis Green’s words rung true Saturday as the spread and predictions against Texas State came to fruition.
Colorado downed Texas State in a 37-3 late surge ranking up 430 yards to Texas State’s 283 total.
For the first half, the Bobcats looked like they had a chance. Texas State’s strong suit is their defense and they stifled the stale Buffalo offense holding them to 2.2 yards per rush the whole game. The Bobcats held the Buffs scoreless in the first quarter. A reliable side of the ball last year, the special teams forsaken the ‘Cats when a James Sherman missed a 32 yard opening drive field goal, Marcus Ripley had a punt tipped for excellent field position for Colorado and a fumbled Colorado punt return was picked back up by the Buffalo for the first score of the game.
