Twi-lights: Buffs bend in defensive battle with Trojans

 

The No. 21 Colorado Buffaloes were ‘upset’ by the USC Trojans on the road at LA Memorial Coliseum on Saturday. A defensive battle saw the Buffs forcing many turnovers, but they were not able to capitalize and USC won, 21-17.

#CUBuffs are going to get shutout here in the first half.

Montez helmet on warming up, Sefo not warming off helmet off. Montez is back in to start the 2nd half.

So you got your momentum changing turnover and that's what you did with it. Cool.

The defense being played in this CU-USC game is the best I've seen this year at the college level

— Spano (@BrandonSpano) October 8, 2016

Defense has been lights out since half.

— Benjamin Burrows (@Rumblinbuffalo) October 8, 2016

Montez has a very bright future, but you've got to roll with Sefo Liufau the rest of this game IMO.

— Adam Munsterteiger (@adamcm777) October 8, 2016

Adoree Jackson is a player. The guy is filthy.

— Chase S2S (@chasecameron_) October 8, 2016

So one of the following has to be true: They're trying to save Sefo for another week.
Or
Montez is QB1

— Ted (@TheGhostofMarv) October 8, 2016

What a pass from Montez. Wow. CU ties it up. Here we go.

Some of the plays that these USC kids have made today… I mean, they have some flat-out ATHLETES on that roster.

— Spano (@BrandonSpano) October 8, 2016

Darnold to Petite for the 7-yard TD, and USC goes back on top, 21-14 with 8:26 to play. #cubuffs

USC gets a first down.

There's your ballgame. Being ranked was fun while it lasted.
