Records.  Washington now leads the series by a 13-7-1 count (6-3-1 in Seattle); CU is now 6-9-1 all-time in the state of Washington ... CU’s 12 opponents this season are 89-42 heading into next week’s finale against Utah … CU is now 3-8 under interim head coaches (1-5 under Mike Sanford) … This is just the seventh 10-loss season in CU’s 133-year history of intercollegiate football.

High & Low.  The 67,969 in attendance was the largest crowd CU played before this season (in fact, the largest since CU played here in 2018 when 68,798 were in the crowd … The game time of 3:08 was the fastest of the 11 this season for Colorado.

This-N-That. No NFL teams scouted a CU game for the first time this season (24 have done so to date in person) ... CU last gave up 50 points in back-to-back games in 2013 (57-16 loss to Oregon at home and 54-13 at Arizona State) ... DT Tyas Martin celebrated his 21st birthday today.

37.7 .  That is the average length of QB J.T. Shrout’s touchdown passes this season (7 for 264 yards);

Safeties.  The Buffs last allowed two safeties in the same season in 2013 (Arizona State, USC games).

Global Warming II? The temperature at kickoff was 42 degrees; the average for CU’s 11 games dropped to 62.5 with only the Utah game in Boulder remaining (long range forecast: sunny, high of 58).

Utah Time & TV.  We’re supposed to find out mid-morning Sunday when the Pac-12 television partners make their choices for three remaining games (CU-Utah, Oregon-OSU, Washington-WSU).  The windows are 1:30 p.m. MST (ABC or ESPN); 2:00 p.m. (P12N); or 8:00 or 8:30 p.m. (ESPN).
