Records. The Ducks now lead the series 15-9 margin (7-4 in Boulder) … Colorado is now 2-2-5 in Pac-12 home” doubleheaders (two straight home games: sweeps-splits-swept) … CU is now 3-6 under interim head coaches (1-3 under Mike Sanford).

51. That was the top wind gust in the second half (high in the first half was 39).

81. The 81-yard TD pass from QB J.T. Shrout to WR Jordyn Tyson tied the 14th longest pass play in school history, and was the longest from scrimmage since the previous longest pass play, the 96-yard flea-flicker from Steven Montez to K.D. Dixon against Nebraska in 2019.

Third Downs. Colorado was 8-of-15 on third down, continuing its improvement from the first five games of the year: CU opened 18-of-67 (26.9 percent). Since, the Buffaloes are 27-of-61 (44.3 percent).

Today’s Special Teams Captain: WR Daniel Arias,

Sackless. The last time CU did not allow a quarterback sack was last year against Oregon State in Boulder; the last CU game with neither team getting to the quarterback was the 2019 Arizona game, also in Boulder.

Season Low. Colorado allowed a season-low two tackles for loss in addition to not allowing a sack. Overall, opponents have 48 versus CU this season, down from 79 in 2021 (and 33 in five regular season games in 2020).
