October 28th – Boulder Colorado 44, California 28

Game recap from ESPN … Steven Montez bounced back from a benching a week earlier and threw for 347 yards and three touchdowns in Colorado’s 44-28 win over California on Saturday when the school retired the jersey of the late Rashaan Salaam, the school’s only Heisman Trophy winner.
The Buffaloes (5-4, 2-4 Pac-12) capped their homecoming win with a 100-yard interception return for a touchdown by junior free safety Nick Fisher with 2:34 remaining that made it 44-21.
Fisher caught Ross Bowers’ pass nine yards deep in the north end zone for his first career interception and sidestepped a couple of Golden Bears near the goal line and avoided another tackler at about the Bears 30-yard line before cruising down the dejected California sideline for the school’s fourth 100-yard pick-6.
Montez, who completed 20 of 26 passes, also ran for a score and Phillip Lindsay ran for 161 yards as the Buffaloes kept alive their hopes of reaching back-to-back bowls for the first time in more than a decade.
The Golden Bears (4-5, 1-5) saw their postseason hopes fade despite a three-TD day by Bowers, who was 29-of-52 for 359 yards.
Montez was briefly knocked from the game after a late helmet-to-helmet hit from linebacker Jordan Kunaszyk on Colorado’s first drive of the second half. Sam Noyer, who replaced Montez for the second half of the Buffs’ 28-0 loss at Washington State last week, came in and fumbled away the snap on fourth-and-inches from midfield.
Montez returned on Colorado’s next drive and later threw a 23-yard pass to Jay MacIntyre to make it 34-14.
