The game started poorly for Colorado. With USC up 3-0, Colorado’s quarterback Earl Herron threw a curl route that was jumped and returned for a score. It was a good read but a better play by the DB, who jumped the route, spun off the tackle of the QB and then broke one more tackle to score. (See my arena for a video). Herron was benched after his second pick.
Colorado was down 10-0, which was not a good sign. They did get a safety after pinning USC on their two-yard line and were able to score a TD to pull to 10-9. However, the USC impact running back broke a 45 yard TD run in the third quarter and after more interceptions from CU, tacked on another three points to lead 20-9 going into the fourth quarter.
CU’s offense came to life and a great run by their young RB Chad Reid (who won the Maxwell award) brought the game to a 20-15 deficit. But the two point conversion failed after the ball was thrown behind the open TE. Then the defense allowed a deep out to turn into a TD as the USC receiver raced up field for another touchdown.
Final score 30-15 for USC.
Rudy’s bowl record through six years: 1-5.
Key Stats from the game for Colorado:
4 INTs (one returned for TD)
2 for 15 on third down

My passing game has gotten worse but I'm done with this team. The last two years have been all about trying to win a national championship with a team better than most. Six years is enough. Time to start a new dynasty with Iowa and try my hand at building a new team. I really need to focus on bigger, faster and better receivers.
