Buffs plan Blackout for Georgia game

It’s not exactly a night game, but it’ll have to do …

The tie, of course, came in the 1990 season-opening Pigskin Classic against Tennessee, when the Buffs fought the Volunteers to a 31-31 draw. The last time Colorado played a team from the SEC, it was the 2007 Independence Bowl, with Colorado falling to Alabama, 30-24.

Apparently, if you want to be a starter at Colorado, all you need to do is to volunteer to be a backup nickel back.

For the third week running, Colorado had a new starter at nickel back. For the third week running, the starter went down with a long-term injury. In week one, Parker Orms was lost for the season with a torn knee ligament. Against Cal in week two, ...
