BOULDER, Colo. – Somewhere in between penalties, a football game was played at Folsom Field Thursday night. At times it didn’t look like it, but they kept score and everything.
When, finally, the game came to a merciful end, No. 15 Colorado accomplished what mattered – it didn’t lose. In fact, its 20-10 victory against fading UCLA was the most lopsided victory against the Bruins this year.
Colorado’s four first-half turnovers, its 12 penalties for 128 yards and general sloppy play won’t make for a pleasant film session, but, the thing is, who cares?
Before this season, Colorado had won a total of five Pac-12 games in the five previous seasons combined.
