Colorado quickly rebounded to beat the UMass Minutemen and then followed it up with a 27-24 overtime win over rival Colorado State before finishing up their non-conference schedule with a 48-0 thrashing of Nicholls State.
The rest of the season didn’t go as well as Buff fans would have liked. They started off the conference schedule with three strait losses to Oregon, ASU, and Arizona. After their loss to the Wildcats, Colorado was able to pick up its first conference win in over a year by defeating the even more pitiful Oregon State Beavers.
This would end up being the last victory of 2015 season as Colorado finished with consecutive losses to UCLA, Stanford, USC, WSU, before finally falling to the Utah Utes in the “Rumble in the Rockies”.
Despite the horrendous 1-8 conference record, the Buffs were actually fairly competitive in a number of their games. However, they had a habit of making errors in key situations (like Adam’s pick in the red zone at the Rosebowl) that prevented them from getting more than one conference win.
