The Colorado Buffaloes and the Massachusetts Minutemen will both be looking to pick up their first wins of the year when they face each other on Saturday afternoon.

Last Friday, Colorado gave up 28 consecutive points to Colorado State to end their opening game and ended up losing 31-17. The Buffaloes led 10-0 early in the second quarter and 17-14 at the half, but from there on out could not sustain a drive long enough to score more points. Colorado State converted five of their 11 third down chances.

Colorado quarterback Sefo Liufau had a good game in a losing cause by throwing for 241 yards with two touchdowns without throwing a pick. Wide receiver Nelson Spruce caught seven catches in the game for 104 yards and had both of his team's touchdowns.

Massachusetts had a tough time slowing down Boston College's offense over the weekend and ended up suffering a 30-7 loss. Massachusetts was only down 6-0 going into halftime, but Boston College scored on their first two drives in the second half to break the game open. Boston College had 511 total yards in the game, including 338 on the ground alone, while the Minutemen were only able to gain 202 total yards.

Massachusetts quarterback Blake Frohnapfel was only able to complete nine of his 22 passes in that opening game for 147 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Receiver Tajae Sharpe caught two passes for 90 yards and a score.
