Meanwhile, the Buffaloes fell 35-31 to USC. Colorado's defeat came about despite a quality game from quarterback Steven Montez, who passed for 324 yards and three touchdowns on 43 attempts. Near the top of the highlight reel was Montez's 71-yard TD bomb to wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. in the third quarter. Montez scored four touchdowns overall -- his season high.
A pair of defensive stats to consider: The Bruins are stumbling into the contest with the second most passing touchdowns allowed in the nation, having given up 24 on the season.
