CU Boulder’s NorCal Buffs

San Francisco Watch Party at Jones – 3:30pm

This weekend your Colorado Buffaloes take on the No. 15 ranked Missouri Tigers in a game that will most definitely be action packed. Game time for Saturday’s game will be at 3:30 PDT, and your alumni club will be meeting at Jones Bar once again to cheer on the Buffs. A year ago Missouri came to Boulder and buried the Buffs 55-10 in an avalanche of 48 unanswered points. It was the third-worst home loss in CU history, this game will be at Missouri and with the Buffs still struggling with holes in their Offensive line we will need to stay focused on protecting both Hansen and Hawkins.

Recap of last weeks game, courtesy of ESPN:

Colorado (4-3, 1-2) broke a three-game skid with a 14-13 win over visiting Kansas State last Saturday and shook up an offense that ranks last in the Big 12. The Buffaloes brought in freshman quarterback Tyler Hansen in the first quarter to split time with sophomore and two-year starter Cody Hawkins.

Hansen, who Colorado was planning to redshirt this season, threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Scotty McKnight in the second quarter and also rushed 19 times for 86 yards.

“We just looked at where we were on offense and what it is we needed to do and what we thought we could do,” Buffaloes coach Dan Hawkins said. “We felt like his athleticism at quarterback was going to give us another dimension, and it did.”

The quarterbacks combined to go 13-for-25 for 106 yards with a touchdown and an interception, but freshman running back Rodney Stewart carried most of the load, rushing a season-high 29 times for 141 yards and a touchdown.

Missouri has won three of the last four games over Colorado and has taken the last two meetings at home. Last season, the Tigers won 55-10 in Boulder as Daniel passed for a then-career high 421 yards and tied his own school record with five touchdowns. Tight end Chase Coffman caught three of those TDs, and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin had 108 yards and a score.

Thanks to all who came to the Florida State watch party at Jones on Saturday! Again, we had a solid showing of 200+ San Francisco Buffalo’s. Unfortunately the Buff’s couldn’t quite beat out the Seminoles.

Homecoming Game – CU vs Texas, the watch party will once again be at Jones. Be prepared to cheer on the Buffs as we take on the #5 team in the country. Kickoff is at 4pm (PST), see you there!
