The Buffs were back in the game and they had the Crimson Tide on their heels. However, Colorado’s first drive of the second half went 10 plays and resulted in no points when kicker Kevin Eberhart missed a 48-yard field goal.

After forcing an Alabama punt, the Buffs put together their best drive of the game. Highlighted by a 27-yard run by Charles, the Buffs went 76 yards on 14 plays. Cody Hawkins completed several key passes and the Buffs got three more points when Eberhart booted a 39-yard field goal.

Colorado was now down just 10 points.

Two plays later, Caddell caught a pass but had the ball stripped out of his hands. Colorado’s Cha’pelle Brown recovered the fumble. However, the Buffs were unable to do anything with it and facing a fourth-and-16 from the Bama 36-yard line, Dan Hawkins elected to punt rather than attempt a field goal of over 50 yards.
