Missed opportunities doom Buff chances
From CUBuffs.com … Missed opportunities.
Still with a razor-thin margin for error, Mike MacIntyre‘s Colorado Buffaloes made too many mistakes Saturday night to survive what everyone figured would be a down-to-the-wire game with UCLA.
The game definitely followed form, but it was the Bruins made plays when it most mattered.
Not that the Buffs didn’t make plays. Colorado’s defense made UCLA star quarterback Josh Rosen work for every yard, holding the Bruins to 27 points — 18 under their season average. CU’s offense rushed for 191 yards and threw for 243. Colorado won the turnover battle, 1-0, getting an interception from Evan Worthington.
But at the most crucial junctures, the Buffs came up short. Dropped passes, penalties that nullified touchdowns, missed tackles, fake field goals that came up empty — all contributed to an evening that left the Buffs 3-2 overall and 0-2 in Pac-12 play.
Now, the obvious question for a team that began the season with a very public eye on a Pac-12 South title is simple: with seven conference games remaining, are their backs to the wall?

Arizona starting safety arrested in domestic violence incident
… Related … “Arizona Wildcats safety Scottie Young shoved, spat on girlfriend in residence hall” … from the Arizona Republic
From the Arizona Republic … Freshman safety Scottie Young Jr., one of the top young players during the Arizona Wildcats’ 2-2 start, was arrested Wednesday in connection with a domestic violence incident, court records show.
Young, 18, was cited for assault by University of Arizona police. He made an initial appearance in Pima County Justice Court Thursday.
He’s facing one charge of misdemeanor assault/knowingly causing injury and is scheduled for arraignment in front of Judge Adam Watters on October 11, according to court records.
Young’s UA career had gotten off to a promising start. Praised since the beginning of training camp by coaches and teammates, Young became the starter at free safety.
Through four games, Young had accumulated 20 tackles, third most on the team. He also had 1 1/2 stops for losses.
Pro Football Focus rated Young as the fifth-best freshman in the country, regardless of position, entering this weekend’s games. Young attended Helix High School in San Diego.
