The eyes of the college football world were on Eugene, Oregon, on Saturday afternoon as No. 19 Colorado faced its toughest test of the young season against No. 10 Oregon.
However, observers who were hoping for a competitive matchup came away disappointed after the Ducks (4-0) raced out to a 35-point halftime lead en route to a 42-6 victory.
It was a humbling setback for the Buffaloes (3-1), who had captivated fans nationwide with as much swagger as any team in recent memory. The result also provided validation for the Ducks, who clearly took the Buffs’ challenge seriously.
