In one of the biggest and most hyped games in recent memory in the Pac-12 Conference, USC prevailed and kept fighting on. The Trojans preserved their undefeated record and moved to 5-0 in Boulder on Saturday. USC 48, Colorado 41.
Coach Prime and Colorado Buffaloes didn’t roll over and die against the 8th-ranked Trojans. They fought hard to the bitter end, falling short with a failed onside kick inside the last two minutes when trailing by seven.
They were down by four scores in the second half, but they fought back. They threw everything they had at USC in the attempt to pull off the upset, led by junior quarterback Shedeur Sanders.
