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) …
Â
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.Â
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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).
Â
S Evan Worthington
He made his second career interception, coming at the C21 in the third quarter.
Â
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.
