Colorado’s defeat has three lessons for the team. 8 USC.
Boulder’s turnaround in the second half was excellent, but the Buffs were unable to pull off the upset.
The USC Trojans, who were ranked eighth, were met with resistance by the Colorado Buffaloes.
In the second half, after falling behind by three goals, they fought back and gave it their all in an effort to pull off the upset.
The following three observations can be drawn from the Buffs’ 48-41 defeat by the Trojans on Saturday.
Lately, Colorado’s offensive play selection was dubious.
In the game’s latter stages, this one was a little painful.
Timeouts were a self-inflicted wound because there was no real clock management.
Additionally, the series of running plays that failed to gain any ground in the middle allowed USC to stop the clock at the very end.
I don’t know what Sean Lewis was attempting to do, but it could have gone a lot better.
Not to say Shedeur Sanders didn’t try to get the Buffs back in the game; that is what he does.
Simply put, it was a disaster.
Today, HIM was Omarion Miller.
Today was another instance of a player stepping up for the Buffs when they needed a spark.
Omarion Miller, a four-star rookie receiver, has an incredible second half with seven receptions for 196 yards and a touchdown.
It was the top freshman performance in CU history.
In order to keep the Buffs in the game, he provided Sanders with a go-to option and made a few outstanding plays.
Deion Sanders’ request was answered by Cormani McClain.
Cormani McClain received a wake-up call this week.
Coach Prime was furious with CU’s defensive back for not giving it her all, but she more than made up for it today. The five-star Florida recruit swarmed the ball and excelled while Travis Hunter watched from the sidelines. He almost had an interception, but there was a penalty that prevented it, and he made one incredible PDU that prevented a touchdown.
McClain put up an impressive fight, and it was obvious that he was aware of his task.
