Buffs Make Statement, Top Stanford To Improve To 2-0

STANFORD, Calif. — Karl Dorrell's Colorado Buffaloes sent a message Saturday afternoon: the Buffs deserve to be in the conversation of Pac-12 South contenders. Certainly, Stanford won't disagree. The Buffs hit on all cylinders offensively and the defense consistently came up with big plays in a 35-32 win over Stanford that improved CU to 2-0 under Dorrell's direction. Just like in their opening win over UCLA, the Buffs had some tense moments down the stretch. But in the end, Colorado prevailed for its fifth consecutive 2-0 start to the season.
