DEFENSIVE LINE

Grade: C-

For the first time all season, the defensive line didn’t play up to their capabilities. Credit to Colorado, however. They held Kayvon Thibodeaux in check like no one has been able to do this season as he just had three tackles and no sacks.

Colorado freshman quarterback Brendon Lewis had a career day largely because he faced very little pressure.
