QUICKLY
This marked the first time CU has worn all black for a road game (did so for a bowl, a Big 12 title game and two CSU games in Denver); the Buffs are now 3-2 when donned in all black away from Folsom (the Buffs are now 2-15 when where black helmets as well) … Colorado is now 3-22-1 in the state of California (1-4 in Pasadena), with UCLA’s series lead at 10-3 (6-1 in California) … The last four games in the series have been decided by 21 points (UCLA has won three of the four, by 11 points) …
CB Isaiah Oliver celebrated his 21st birthday today/tonight … Alumni-city on the CU sidelines: Chris Hudson (’94 Thorpe winner), Nelson Spruce, Stephane Nembot, Jordan Carrell and Rashidi Barnes all in attendance … DT Lyle Tuiloma made his first career start … Colorado won the coin toss for the third time this year and for the 16th time in 19 tries dating back to last year’s season opener.
Together At Last Colorado finally started the offensive line it basically practiced with for all of August camp: LT-Jeromy Irwin, LG-Gerrad Kough, C-Jonathan Huckins, RG-Tim Lynott, RT-Aaron Haigler). Irwin missed the first two games for violating team rules, Huckins the last two after being injured against Texas State.
698 And Counting Colorado is still pursuing win No. 700, still two shy and owns all-time record of 689-496-36. Notre Dame beat Miami-Ohio to win its 900th game today and Georgia topped Tennessee to win its 800th.
QB Steven Montez
(36-17-0, 243, 1 TD, 113.1 rating; 15-108 rushing)
He had his second career 100-yard rushing game (going with his 21-135 last year at Oregon in his first career start) … This was the first time in eight starts (5-3 record) that he did not complete 50 percent of his passes.
TB Phillip Lindsay (19-83 rushing; 4-47, 1 TD receiving)
He became the 17th player in school history, and the first running back, to have 100 career receptions; he landed on that number tonight, as he has 100 for 830 yards (and becomes the fourth player on the current roster with 100-plus, joining Shay Fields—169; Devin Ross—120; Bryce Bobo—113). And with 175 points, he now owns sole possession of 10th all-time on CU’s scoring list. He moved into sixth on CU’s rushing chart with 2,762 yards, as he skipped by Chris Brown (2001-02, 2,690 yards). With 130 all-purpose yards, he upped his total to 4,669 (second at CU), within 160 of all-time leader Rodney Stewart (4,828, 2008-11).
S Evan Worthington
He made his second career interception, coming at the C21 in the third quarter.
PK James Stefanou (2-2 PAT, 3-3 FG, 33 long)
He is now 10-of-11 on the season, the third-best beginning in field goal makes by any kicker in CU annals; only Jeremy Aldrich (1996-97) and Jeremy Flores (2000-01) are better, as they both made 13 of their first 14 field goal tries.
