BOULDER, Colo. -- When Travon McMillian ran 75 yards for a touchdown against Oregon State on the first play of the second half, the Colorado Buffaloes admittedly let up, as did their fans.
Why not?
It was 31-3.
The Buffaloes were about to go bowling.
The Beavers were getting bowled over again.
Fans figured they might want to enjoy a beautiful autumn afternoon, streaming to the gates for an early exit from this blowout rather than watching any more of the Beavers' 23rd consecutive road loss.
"I guess you'd call this a gut-wrencher," Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said after his Buffaloes matched their biggest blown lead in program history in a 41-34 overtime loss Saturday.
