The Cowboys continue to be a second-half team. After falling behind as much as 14-7 in the first and trailing 24-20 late in the second quarter, the Cowboys scored 34 unanswered points to blow the doors off this one.

The Buffs lost the turnover battle to the Pokes 3-0 and committed 10 penalties for 69 yards with several offsides calls that give Drew Mestemaker free shots downfield. One of those wasplay, including this back-breaking touchdown to Wyatt Young to put the Cowboys up 47-24 early in the fourth. Drew Mestemaker to Wyatt Young.

Is there some written rule out there for the team that I’m not aware of? Like….are we not allowed to play a complete and competent game since beating Oregon?
It’s absolutely insane to me how different our team is in the second half… It felt like we had two completely different teams.
Glad the ass chewing at halftime paid off, but can we get it before the game moving forward? Allowing 24 points to a BAD Colorado team is just embarrassing. Based on our schedule, we actually have a reasonable chance to run the table (assuming the offense continues to hum) but we won’t be able to if our secondary is weaker than single ply
