Colorado Football: Buffaloes’ top 5 plays from 2016 season

Colorado has had its struggles against Oregon historically. And that goes past the time they’ve been in the Pac 12. If you want proof, look up the 2002 Fiesta Bowl.

Colorado had to travel to Oregon in the conference opener this season, knowing a win would start the run that the school eventually had. This was a good, old-fashioned shootout.

Trailing 38-33 with under nine minutes to play in the game, Colorado faced a key 3rd-and-10. Steven Montez (filling in for Sefo Liufau), threw a ball toward the corner of the end zone for Bryce Bobo, who came down with the catch. It was initially ruled incomplete and Colorado fans probably wouldn’t have even argued that because at first glance, because it seemed impossible that he could have caught it.

However, replays showed that Bobo did pull in the nearly impossible catch and get a foot inbounds. The ruling was overturned and on the next play, Montez completed a 2-point conversion by hitting Bobo, putting Colorado up 41-38, which would end up being the final score.
