Brooks: Beatty, Major Come Up Big In Buffs Win

BOULDER - Just as Georgia appeared ready to parlay a One Dawg Night - that would be A.J. Green's superlative 2010 debut - into a last-minute win, Colorado linebackers B.J. Beatty and Jon Major stepped forward and changed the script.

Beatty's strip of quarterback Aaron Murray and Major's recovery allowed the suddenly confident and steadily improving Buffaloes to leave Folsom Field with a 29-27 victory and head into their final Big 12 Conference season with a respectable 3-1 non-conference record. CU opens league play next Saturday at Missouri (5 p.m. MDT, FSN).

"We can see improvement . . . there's such a big difference between that Cal game (a 52-7 blowout) and now," Major said shortly after a jubilant CU locker room had cleared out. "We just need to keep on that trend, keep on improving a week at a time. I think we've shown we'll be competitive in the Big 12."

Set to begin competition in the Pac-10 Conference next fall, CU now has won consecutive games for the first time since opening the 2008 season 3-0. Before last weekend's open date, the Buffs rallied in the second half to defeat Hawaii, 31-13.

"That's big for us," said quarterback Tyler Hansen, who more and more is becoming an offensive force. "It gives us a lot of confidence. Georgia's 1-4 now, but that's a good football team. Every game they've lost has been close; they could be 5-0 right now and they're from a great conference (SEC). This was a good win."..MORE
