Columbus, OH (PSF) - Colorado had it’s fair share of the spotlight, as celebrity appearances made by Da Baby, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, CC Sabathia and others were on the sideline waiting to get a first-hand glimpse of what Coach Prime has created in the nine months.

The game ended up to Colorado taking the 48-41 loss to No. 8 USC. Without USC QB Caleb Williams, USC might have trundled back to Los Angeles having to explain a loss rather than another perplexing defensive performance.

Williams tossed six touchdowns, tying a career high. The six were one less fewer than Matt Leinart’s school record. USC Trojans needed every one of them because the result was the Colorado Buffaloes continuing to define themselves more so than USC taking the next step.

Sanders says, “If you can’t see what’s coming with CU football, you’re out of your mind… You’re a flat-out hater.”

Saturday proved that USC may have to win games the same way as Williams goes for consecutive Heismans. If he wins a second straight, Saturday will stand out on the resume. Coach Lincoln Riley says, “That’s the best first half we’ve played all year against a good opponent.”

Despite winning, USC almost got run off the field in the second half. Colorado ran 90 plays totaling 564 yards. That’s the most by a Trojans opponent this season, which is by 200 yards. USC is still trying to meet expectations, and Colorado is still getting there.
