The Colorado Buffaloes lost another one possession game today, this time it came in their season finale against the Utah Utes. The score was 20-14 Utah, in this, the 5th edition of the “Rumble in The Rockies” since each team joined the Pac-12. This left the Buffs with a 4-9 record on the season (1-8 in Pac-12 play). In the game, the Buffs and Utes exchanged many turnovers and the fourth QB of the season was used by CU (backup outside linebacker Jaleel Awini.) It was a wild game that saw both Nelson Spruce and Larry Zimmer making their last appearances as members of the Colorado herd. Here are BSN Denver’s tweets of the game.

Just how bad has #CUBuffs' red zone offense been lately? In their last 19 trips to the red zone, #Buffs have only scored 6 touchdowns. Wow.

Every week #CUBuffs find new ways to shoot themselves in the foot. Despite some tackle issues early, #Buffs defense now battling.
— Adam Munsterteiger (@adamcm777) November 28, 2015
Not sure why you need a timeout to call the same play you've run on 4th and short every time this year.
