BOULDER, Colo. – Utah Football was outmatched in Colorado on Saturday as the Buffaloes could do no wrong in a 49-24 week 12 win.

Utah Football has two more games on deck to become bowl-eligible. They will return home to play Iowa State on November 23 before ending the season against UCF on the road on November 29.

I like the sprint out play, it’s worked for Utah multiple times this season but Colorado had an idea that was coming. OL needs to block it up better. Utah settles for a FG.

After bailing them on the first set of downs, Utah gets the stop here and force a Colorado punt… The defensive line is getting pressure. That was a big key to this game for Utha to have any sort of chance. Colorado punts and Singer secures it at the 24-yard line.
— Steve Bartle (@BartleKSLsports) November 16, 2024
Oh man… Landen King was wiiiiiide open deep down the field and Wilson is unable to connect with him. That would’ve been just what the offense needed.

Consecutive plays with a holding penalty on Colorado, Rabbit Evans on the blitz was basically tackled by the RB. Colorado will be 1st and 29 at the 9 yard line.

Honestly, that drop by Micah wasn’t the worst thing, left enough time on the clock for Becker to attempt and make a 47 yard field goal.
