Overview
- Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita threw four first-half touchdowns and the Wildcats capitalized on five Colorado turnovers in a wire-to-wire win at Folsom Field.
- Colorado cycled from starter Kaidon Salter to Ryan Staub, then to freshman Julian Lewis, who hit a 59-yard TD before exiting late with a throwing-hand injury.
- The Buffaloes finished with 14 penalties and had two first-half flags erase a 75-yard touchdown and an interception, compounding a 38-7 halftime deficit.
- Deion Sanders blocked player access postgame and said the loss was on him, rejecting suggestions that his team had quit.
- Colorado fell to 3-6 (1-5 Big 12), has been outscored 81-7 in the first half over the last two games, drew an era-low 48,223 crowd, and now must win out to reach a bowl with West Virginia up next.
