November 10, 2012 - UNLV at Colorado State

It was cold and the seats nearly empty in Fort Collins as the visiting UNLV Rebels were shut out for 3 quarters. I had a good time trying to make some cold weather photos despite my frozen fingers and toes. I think I need to break out the thicker gloves for photography since the camera gets cold and your hands are barely moving at all. The player of the game may have been Donnell Alexander with 2 touchdowns on 21 carries and 139 yards, though the CSU defense helped the cause too with two interceptions returned for touchdowns.

November 3, 2012 - Stanford at Colorado

The visiting Stanford fans were unlucky last Saturday, in that the bulk of the Stanford scoring happened on the opposite end of the field from where they are relegated. Unsurprisingly, the Buffaloes took a beating at the hands of the 15th-ranked Cardinal, with a final score of 48-0 (beating the spread of 28 points handily). Last game in Boulder of the year for me, and I enjoyed seeing a few NFL-caliber players perform in this otherwise uninteresting matchup.

October 28, 2012 - Saints at Broncos

Manning and the Broncos looked like AFC contenders and professional football players in their 34-14 win over the disappointing 2012 Saints on Sunday night. Peyton's fourth quarter toss to Eric Decker (last picture above) put him in sole possession of the NFL record with the most games with at least three touchdowns and no interceptions, surpassing Brett Favre, with 37 (thanks Z for the heads up...). Brees barely passed for 200 yards but did get off a touchdown pass to Darren Sproles in the second quarter that kept his streak alive with 50 games in a row with at least one touchdown pass.

October 26, 2011 - Nevada at Air Force

This Friday night game would come down to who could stop the most third down conversions, and the winner was the Air Force Falcons, who won 48-31. Quarterback Connor Dietz would convert two fourth-and-short situations himself, and the game featured only three punts, all by the visiting Wolf Pack. Air Force ran the ball an astounding 82 times and gained an average of 5.6 yards on each carry.

October 11, 2012 - Arizona State at Colorado

Colorado came out swinging in the first half, and a 10-point barrage in the closing minute of the first half had the home crowd hopeful... but.... as was expected the Sun Devils were able to amass a 3-TD lead plus more by the time the game was over. A late Colorado injury completely deflated the Colorado defense and the Sun Devils went home with a 51-17 win and likely top-25 rank after this Thursday night game.

September 29, 2012 - UCLA at Colorado

Even if none of the capacity crowd thought the home team could win, they showed up and cheered them on. UCLA struck early and often on their way to a 42-14 win over Colorado, behind redshirt freshman quarterback Brett Hundley, who had two rushing touchdowns and a passing touchdown in the win.

September 23, 2012 - Diamondbacks at Rockies

The last nail is in the coffin for the 2012 Colorado Rockies. Another Sunday loss, this time to the Diamondbacks, who beat the Rockies with decent pitching and a late 3-run bomb from Aaron Hill, which incidentally also helped me win a close fantasy baseball showdown netting me $100 that I wouldn't have won otherwise.
