BOULDER ? For one hopeful quarter Saturday, Colorado went toe-to-toe with No. 9 Stanford. Unfortunately for the outmanned Buffaloes, quarterly results donGÇÖt mean much to their ? or college footballGÇÖs ? bottom line.
Behind Heisman Trophy candidate Christian McCaffrey, quarterback Kevin Hogan and an experienced and powerful offensive line, the Cardinal roared out of a 7-7 first-quarter tie with 21 second-quarter points and proceeded to bury the Buffs 42-10 at Folsom Field.
CU (4-6, 1-5) lost its 21st consecutive game to a ranked opponent while Stanford (8-1, 7-0) won for the eighth consecutive time ? the schoolGÇÖs longest winning streak since 2012. Stanford leads the series with CU 6-3 and has won the last three meetings by a combined score of 138-17.
GÇ£(Stanford) is a very physical football team . . . the most physical football team weGÇÖve played since IGÇÖve been here,GÇ¥ said third-year CU coach Mike MacIntyre, who asked former Buffs coach Bill McCartney to speak to the team on Friday night.
MacIntyre said McCartney GÇ£did a great job and IGÇÖm really glad we did it . . . IGÇÖm glad he got to do it.GÇ¥ McCartney, said CU insiders, was on top of his game ? and his message might have carried the Buffs on Saturday morning for the first 15 minutes.
But they were no match for the muscular Cardinal thereafter, particularly on third down.
GÇ£StanfordGÇÖs a heck of a team,GÇ¥ MacIntyre continued. GÇ£They are our Pac-12 shot of getting to the playoffs and I sure think they can and I sure hope they do . . . theyGÇÖre big and physical (and) their quarterback is so efficient at what he does. Their offensive line has stayed healthy . . . thatGÇÖs kind of how they controlled the game ? their quarterback and that offensive line.GÇ¥..more
