Twi-lights: Defense leads Buffs to victory over UCLA

The No. 15 Colorado Buffaloes were able to pull out a victory at Folsom Field Thursday night over the UCLA Bruins by a score of 20-10. It was a whirlwind of a football game after a total of 25 penalties were called by the officials, this made Twitter more interesting than most nights.

Here are BSN Denver’s favorite tweets:

Colorado might win this game by 30 points

Buffs lose their top pass rusher for the rest of that night. That’s a major gut punch.

— Nick Kosmider (@NickKosmider) November 4, 2016

Absolutely killer losing Gilbert. Targeting is worst rule in CFB. I get it players need to be protected but accidents happen. #Buffs

— Tyler Polumbus (@Tyler_Polumbus) November 4, 2016

Sefo had thrown 152 straight passes—a school record—without throwing a pick.

Phil Lindsay is a delightful player to watch.

Give it to Phil. Then to Phil. Then back to Phil… #TheOtherPhil

Sefo Liufau went 152 attempts without an interception. Now has two in last six passes.

UCLA Edge rusher No. 98 Takkarist McKinley putting on a show right now. Very impressive to watch live, looks like a 1st rounder for sure.

— Andre B Simone (@andresimone) November 4, 2016

These throws aint Fafaul

— Ryan Koenigsberg (@RyanKoenigsberg) November 4, 2016

Sefo Liufau has been extremely ungood.

— William Whelan (@William_Whelan) November 4, 2016

Soso Jamabo has 13 carries for UCLA after the Bruins ran it all of 10 times against Utah.
Sports, they are a funny thing.

Sefo down in pain. That play was an abject disaster. Bruins’ rush gets home and they have their 3rd pick of the night.

Chidobe Awuzie is out here tackling people with his back. The dude is that good.

— Nick Kosmider (@NickKosmider) November 4, 2016

Blocking it was even bigger.

CHIDO WITH THE BLOCK! Buffs take over at their 20. Great job by the D there! #GoBuffs pic.twitter.com/EL292Zb0uY

Addison Gillam ???

Mike MacIntyre’s radio interview at halftime consisted of five words: “I’m gonna get after ’em.”

— Nick Kosmider (@NickKosmider) November 4, 2016

This is horribly nerve wracking.

— Ted Chalfen (@TheGhostofMarv) November 4, 2016

With 32 scouts in the stands tonight Takk McKinnley’s wallet gets fatter and fatter. #stud #UCLAvsCU

— Pacific Takes (@PacificTakes) November 4, 2016

Add a fumble on the goal line to the list of “what the …?” moments for the Buffs tonight. Settling for a FG attempt.

Idiotic penalty — again — for the Buffs. Try a little self-control, boys. Geez.

— Shawn Drotar (@sdrotar) November 4, 2016

This is as undisciplined as I’ve seen the #cubuffs in a long time. Really uncharacteristic of this team

— Brian Howell (@BrianHowell33) November 4, 2016

Mark of good team is winning games it is supposed to win. #CUBuffs shown immaturity and lack of discipline tonight. Still time. But ugly…

— Troy Renck (@TroyRenck) November 4, 2016

Moeller gets taunting penalty. @CoachMikeMac screams “Get his ass out!” Gives him hell when he gets to sideline. @RunRalphieRun has a coach.

Sefo Liufau takes a facemask in the backfield, asks the refs for it, gets the call and delivers it to Phil.

I can’t even.

— Ryan Koenigsberg (@RyanKoenigsberg) November 4, 2016

At some point the ref just needs to tell these guys he will turn this car around.

— Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) November 4, 2016

Can we get a red card for the flop? #GoBuffs pic.twitter.com/TDX3MZSFDC

The ol’ bounce pitch-and-run. Works every time.

— Patrick Ghidossi (@patrickghidossi) November 4, 2016

CU’s recruiting priority:
1. Kicker
2. Punter
3. Did I mention kicker?
4. Did I mention punter?

Is it possible to look away from this sixteen-car pile up of a football game?
