3. Colorado 5-2, 3-1 (No. 4 last week)
Clearly not swayed by Arizona State having the No. 1 statistical rushing defense in the conference, the Buffs not-so-delicately inserted the ball down ASU’s throat to the tune of 315 yards and five touchdowns.
Sefo Liufaulooked very efficient in his return,
Phillip Lindsay (219 yards, three touchdowns) was outstanding, and the defense -- headlined by
Jimmie Gilbert -- was punishing. Next up is a trip to Stanford with bowl eligibility within Colorado’s grasp. (But I think we all know this team has grander aspirations.)
