QUICKLY Colorado is now 0-7 on the coin toss in 2013 ... The Buffs are now 21-22-1 all-time wearing all black (0-3 with black helmets) ... Colorado fell to 61-33-5 in 99 homecoming games, to 50-50-2 in night games overall (6-1 vs. Arizona, 24-13-2 at home) ... CU remains stuck on 299 all-time wins at Folsom Field (299-159-10 in the 90th season of the stadium) ... OLB Woodson Greer started tonight on the inside (at the will spot) with the Buffs opening in the nickel ... DL Samson Kafovalu returned to action tonight; he completed all requirements to play after violating assorted team rules. He had appeared in just one game (Central Arkansas, 8 plays) ... ILB Ryan Severson's 48-yard kickoff return in the fourth quarter was the longest by CU this year ...
Arizona ran 39 first down plays, and gained yardage on 36 of those; the other plays were two rushes for zero and an incomplete pass as UA averaged 9.97 yards on first down; CU averaged a healthy 6.4 ...

WR PAUL RICHARDSON (7-132-1 TD) P-Rich" now has 50 catches for 914 yards, 18.3 per, with seven touchdowns. He's inching closer to all the CU season marks: 78 receptions (D.J. Hackett, 2003), 1,149 yards (Charles E. Johnson, 1992) and 11 TDs (Derek McCoy, 2003). His 75-yard TD reception was the sixth play of 50 yards or longer this season, tying the modern day record for most plays 50 yards or longer in year (and it was the 12th of his career). It was his fifth 100-yard game of the season, giving him eight for his career (records are six and 12, respectively); the latter is fourth all-time at CU.
