Colorado Postgame Notes

Quickly... CU is 0-6 for only the second time in its history (117 seasons), done previously in 1980 (when the team started 0-7)... The loss is CU's 10th overall, tying the school record done just one other time (1963-64, the last six of '63 and first four of '64)... The loss dropped CU to 17-14 all-time against the Big 12 South (2-10 since 2002)... It was just Baylor's second road win in 41 tries in Big 12 play... Colorado scored in its 216th straight game today (last shutout: 7-0 at Nebraska in 1988), adding to the sixth longest active streak in the nation and the 12th longest all-time (for the time being, CU has caught the Broncos, who are also at 216)... The 31 points was a CU season high and the most since Colorado's last win (the 41-12 verdict over Missouri)... CU's fourth quarter touchdown marked the first Buff points in the quarter on the season... QB Bernard Jackson rushed for 93 yards for the second consecutive week, and now has 271 over the last three games (311 on the year).

Overtime. Colorado is now 3-4 in overtime games (six of the seven have been in conference play), with a 2-2 mark at home; this marked the first time of the seven any went longer than just a single extra session. The all-time CU summary:

Firsts: FB Maurice Cantrell and WR Nick Holz made their first career starts... TB Mell Holliday scored his first career touchdown (his 32-yard yard run exceeded the total distance of CU's four touchdowns this season?all rushes for a total of 6 combined yards?and CU's last eight dating back to last year's Missouri game?23 yards total for the eight). TE Riar Geer caught his first career touchdown, the first for QB Bernard Jackson as well; it was CU's first in 2006.

TB Byron Ellis (8-40-1 TD). And speaking of firsts, it took a long time coming, but Ellis scored his first career touchdown on the 123rd carry of his career (134th touch including receptions).

First Quarter Offense: Colorado gained 117 yards in the first quarter, the third straight game the Buffs exceeded the century mark for the period; CU had 154 at Missouri last week after netting 156 the previous week at Georgia.

Third Down Conversions. Colorado opened the game converting six of its first eight third down tries; the Buffs had gone 5-of-25 in their two previous games combined. CU finished a season best 8-of-17, but were 2-of-9 after halftime.

PK Mason Crosby. He missed just his fourth career field goal inside of 41 yards (29-of-33) when he missed the 36-yard attempt in the third quarter; two of the four misses were blocked. It was the second shortest he'd ever missed that wasn't blocked.

DE Abraham Wright (2 QBS). His two sacks gives him eight for the season, giving him 17? for his career; he passed Ryan Olson (16?) into 10th place all-time at Colorado.

CB Terrence Wheatley. He had his first multiple in interception game (two) of his career, the first by a Buff since Thaddaeus Washington swiped two at Nebraska on Nov. 26, 2004. His eight career interceptions are now tied for 16th all-time.
