True freshman kicker Cole “The Ice Man” Becker finally put an end to the longest scoreless streak in Pac-12 history. Remember Jarek Broussard’s 2-yard rushing TD in the first quarter against Texas A&M? Well the Buffaloes hadn’t scored since then, which included being shut out by Minnesota, to culminate in a Pac-12 record 24 consecutive scoreless possessions. Becker’s 51-yard field goal late in the second half was more than needed.
Besides Becker’s first collegiate field goal, the Buffaloes’ offensive woes continued in the first half against Arizona State. Brendon Lewis threw for just 36 yards and Alex Fontenot did the same 36 yards of damage on the ground. Arizona State scored a touchdown in both the first and second quarter to lead the Buffs 14-3 at the break.
Colorado's scoreless streak ends after 137 minutes, 11 seconds and 24 possessions #cubuffs
