And for college sports and for college football, I think it’s the best thing that’s ever happened.”Coach Prime’s Buffs (4-6, 1-6 Pac-12) probably won’t win another tilt this season.

On the inside, Ed Oliver is tied for second on the team with five sacks.“You try not to spook yourself out by watching too ...
