Coming into this season, there were several teams in the Pac 12 that Colorado had never beaten. One of those teams was UCLA.

When the two teams met in early November, it was a back and forth contest that featured 25 total penalties, including eight personal fouls against the Buffs.

UCLA struggled this season and Colorado was ranked in the top 25 for the first time in years. However, with under five and a half minutes to play in the game, the Buffs led just 13-10. That’s when Isaiah Oliver caught a punt and cut across the field before going 68 yards for the touchdown. It was the play that broke the game open Colorado.

The Buffs went to 7-2 with the victory and started to be recognized as a team that could contend for the Pac-12 title.
