General “Firstofall,CSUisareallygoodfootballteam,MikeBobohasdoneareallygoodjobwiththem.ThatwasaclassicIwould say. One of those types of games that everybodylovestocomewatchandIthinkgameslikethesewillreallykeep the rivalry truly going. I am so proud of our youngmen,lockerroom,thosewhowerenotabletodressout.IamsoproudofourcoachesandIamextremelygratefultobe the head coach of Colorado. I really enjoyed tonight.Winning is fun. That was good for us. I think you keepseeingourteamgrowup;IsaiditatHawai’i.Istillbelieveinthisteam.Lastweekwewereabletoputateamaway,thisweekweplayedaverygoodfootballteamandfoundaway to come and win it and kept fighting. Last year wefoughtandfoughtbutcouldn’tfindawaytowinit.Tonightwefoundawaytowinit;wefoundawaytoblockafieldgoal, foundaway tomakeakick, foundaway tomakeaplay.We got down, kept battling. I think it shows you ayounggroupofmen,wearestillayoungteam,butwearenotbabiesanymore,wearegrowing intomen.So I thinkyouareseeingusgrowupinfrontofyourfaces.”

OnPKDiegoGonzalez’sPerformance “Ohnononeatall.Notonebit.That’stheonlyonehehasmissed.You’veseenhimkickinpractice.Hegetsgreatlift,he’sayoungguy; this ishis first timekickingall timeoutthere with the pressure. Another thing he doesn’t letanythingreallybotherhim,soIknewhewouldbeabletobouncebackandthat’swhatyouneedtobeat thekickerposition.Youbetterbeabletobouncebackandheisabletodothat.Ihadalltheconfidenceintheworldinhim.Hehadatoughone,onekickwasblockedearlierthenwehadthatonehappenedandhecamebackandmadethekick.SoIwasveryproudofhim.”

OnOvertime “I think we know to just keep playing, fighting, andbattling. For example, the fourth down and one play weweredebatingand I said, ‘Nah.Wegot theguts inus,wecandothis.’Andwediditandendedupmissingthefieldgoal.Webattledinovertime.Itwasunique.Theyhadmadesome runs on us there is no doubt.We kept battling,weareingreatcondition.Wegetthatroughingthepasseronthe first down played, that’s second and ten there. So itlooks like, ‘Wow theymight just try to run it in.’ andwejust bowed up somehow, found away down four to twoinside and stopped them. We had enough energy andpower and just rushed that field goal. That’s late in thegameandtheyfoundanextrasetofenergy.”

OnQBSefoLiufau’sPerformance “Sefo,heissotough.Isaythatallthetime.IthinkheisthetoughestquarterbackIhaveeverbeenaround.Ithinkheisthe toughest. He is a warrior. He just kept battling andbattling and ended upmaking some plays for us that he

needed tomake. Iwasexcited forhim. I knew theyweregoing to stack up against the run and do some things.WhenMichaelAdkinswentdown,PatrickCarrwentdown,Phil Lindsay went down with ribs; we were down toChristianPowellandKyleEvans ready togo.Sowewerekind of limited there. But Christian and those guys keptbattlingandIthinktheydidsomegreatthingsforus.”

OnTheFourthQuarter “Theycouldhavehungtheirheadafterwegotthepenaltysayingthelatehitandnowtheygettomovetheballdowntothe12‐yardlineandwehavetostopthem.Butourguysbowedupanddid it.

OnHisTeam’sMorale “I still feel goodaboutour team.Of coursewewanted tostop themand therewere some things goingon.We justhave to keep battling. They’re hardened. They’ve beenthrough a lot. When you go through a lot of differentadversity, you don’t let that kind of stuff affect you. Youjustkeepplaying.That’swhathappenedtouslastyearandthey knew they’d find a way to win. That’s what they’redoingnow.”

OnEjectionCalls “Iknowthere’sbeena lotoftalkabouttargetingonallofthe sports talk showsnowandESPN.That’s the call theymade,that’stherule.Weneedtoprotectpeople,there’snodoubtaboutit.Wehavetomakesurewedothat.Ihavetogo watch it on tape.

OnGamboa’sPerformance “[Ricky] Gamboa is a really smart, hard‐nosed footballplayer. He’s a redshirt freshman. He got thrown in theretonight. He’s been playing some but he had to playbasicallyeverysnap.Rick’sdoneareallygood job. Itwasverysatisfyingtoseehimdothat.”

OnTheDefensiveScheme “What happenedwas thatwe had someunderneathmancoverage and the QB scrambled a couple of times anddumped it at the last second and ran away from ourlinebacker. That’s what happened. Later on we played adifferentdefensewhenwemadethebigplay.Wehadseenit and our kids were able to react to it.

COLORADO STATE HEAD COACH MIKE BOBO

(general) “That was another hard‐fought effort by our kids. They played extremely hard. They showed some resolve there in the 4th quarter when we had the pick‐6 (and) came back to tie the ballgame up. The defense bows their neck and we get the ball back to possibly win it in regulation, and we didn’t, it went into overtime again and didn’t get the job done.” “Again, I thought we played better as a football team. I think we’ve improved from week one to week two and week two to week three. The hard thing is we’re 1‐2, and there are some hurt kids in there who laid their hearts on the line for three straight weeks and haven’t received the benefits of hard work. “What we’ve got to do as coaches and players is continue what we’re doing. I believe in our football team and I believe in the way they’re playing, I think it’s a special group. It’s an easy thing to do to say we’re 1‐2 and stop working the way we’re working, but that’s not how I’m wired and that’s not how my team is going to be wired. We’re going to get after it and we’ll be ready to play Saturday, and they’re going to fight their tails off for Colorado State.” (on not finishing drives) “We had some drives and we couldn’t finish the drives. We’ve got to do a better of getting in the right plays so we can be successful. We’ve got to do a better job of executing the plays that are called. The worst thing you can do is not get points. There’s going to be a million things when you go back and look at the game of ‘we had an opportunity here, we had an opportunity there;’ the thing we try to tell our team is you never know when that opportunity is going to come. There can be six or seven plays in that game that are going to come that are going to be the difference in the game. What we try to do is keep playing the same way every play, doing your job, I think that’s what makes people great. And we’re having some mistakes offensively, but our defense is playing hard, playing like I want them to; we played better as an offensive unit tonight, but we still didn’t capitalize when we had some momentum on some drives, but again there was no quit in our team, but we’ve got to do a better job of finishing drives.” (on coming up short two weeks in a row against teams from Power 5 conference) “There’s not any consolation. I said it last week, you work hard, you play—we all play the game—to win the game. We’re all competitors, and like I just told a couple of the seniors in there, I really believe we have a special football team, and I expect them to do what needs to be done, and that’s continue to work. It’s easy sometimes for kids to say we haven’t worked this hard, we haven’t done this much, we’re 1‐2; but we have to look at the positives, we’ve got to correct the mistakes, and we’ve got to continue to get better. In my mind this is a football team that will fight your tail, and I’m proud of it. Am I proud of being 1‐2? No. I hate losing and they hate losing, but we’ve got to get back to work and we’ve got to find a way to win a football game.” (on sending Wyatt Bryan on the field in the 4th then sending the offense back in) “I thought we had the momentum again, and then we stalled out, and I had a third‐down call that I liked but I wanted to spread out to the right. We had practiced it once to the left and we felt good about going ahead and calling the play to the left and we executed the play great. It was just more of a left‐hash call, the one I wanted to go with, and felt good about.”

(on the play that resulted in the pick‐6) “I don’t know, I’d have to go back and look at the film, sometimes there’s a little bit of different rules when the ball’s behind the line on a screen of when you can hit a guy. The guy made a great play, we were cracking the backside ‘backer and he came off the tight end and made a good play. I’ve got to credit him for making that play.” (on any other factors that made him go for it on 4th down late in the game) “I was tired of stalling out and not getting seven. I thought our defense was playing well, I know they hit a couple big plays on us, but if we didn’t get it, I felt we were going to get the ball back – I still felt there was enough time. I had trust in the play that we called but I had more trust that if we didn’t get it that our defense would be able to hold them. (on whether there was a thought to go to Rashard Higgins on the possession in OT) “The first play was designed where he was the number one progression on that play. They ran a different kind of blitz and we had a wheel route on a tight end, and then after that we felt like we were controlling the line of scrimmage and we wanted to try to hammer it in. Then when it was at third and four we tried to stay in regular. He was an option on that last play depending on what the coverage did. I’d have to go back and watch the film of why Nick went there, but I wouldn’t say ‘hey, you’re going directly to Rashard.’” “We’re a little bit off on our accuracy but we just went with the best play that we thought would work at that point.” (on failing to take advantage of opportunities) “They won the game, Terry, you’ve got to give them credit. They were down 14‐0, 14‐3‐nothing … they fought, they played hard, they made enough plays that win the ballgame. Every time you lose a ball game you’re going to go back and say we would’ve done this if we had the chance and we would’ve done that, but you’ve got to give those guys credit. They played hard and made more plays in the right time than we did.” (on field goal kicking) “We missed three field goals, one of them was a little long for us to probably try, but he made the one to get us into overtime last week. We feel that he’s the best guy. We have to keep putting him into those situations. We have to do better on offense and not settle for field goals, but at the end of the day when you stall you have to get points and we haven’t done that enough. We lost the turnover battle again.” (on message to the team) “This is my message; no team that I coach is not going to play hard … quit, and not be all in. For three games we played hard, we’ve been all‐in and played for 60 minutes‐plus in the last two games. I expect the same thing on Monday. If that’s not for you or you doubt what we’re doing, my office will be open tomorrow and you can come in, but the guys who are going to wear the green and gold are going to play hard for the green and gold every week.” (on Dalyn Dawkins’ effort) “Dalyn Dawkins is a stud. He might weigh 173 pounds soaking wet, but he’s the hardest worker on our football team. That’s how he practices every single day; full speed. I love that kid, he has more heart than anybody and his hamstring got a little tight. I thought that J.O. (Jasen Oden) came in and did a nice job running. Dalyn is what you want; a guy who comes to play every day as a football player. He doesn’t say a word, if you ask him to do something he does it.”

(on availability of Treyous Jarrells) “Treyous was available in the fourth quarter, but we felt that it was a little tight. Then Dawkins and J.O. were running the ball well. We left some runs out there a couple of times, probably seeing a little too much, but Dawkins is a first‐year guy who ran hard. J.O.’s getting a lot of carries, more than he’s ever got. It takes times and coming into the season I knew it would take time offensively when you lose a 1,000‐yard‐plus rusher and lose a 4,000‐yard passer at quarterback. I felt we needed to play great defense and we’re playing great defense. We’re getting better on offense, the record is just 1‐2 and if we stick to the plan I believe we will be fine this year.” (on QB Coleman Key) “At the start of the game we weren’t going to play him unless we felt that we needed him to play. Nick practiced better this week. Coleman has to continue to practice the way we want him to. You have to earn the right to play on Saturdays by the way you work during the week. Coleman Key has a bright future for this football team. I expect him to come back and have a great week this week and be ready to play if his number is called.” (on Rashard Higgins’ presence on the field) “When he’s out there he’s a confident guy and he lifts up the whole team. Last year when I would watch games he would make these plays to flip the field and turn the game around. It’s been tough, Rashard has missed some time. He missed a lot of time in spring, fall camp, then he had the foot sprain and really didn’t practice the whole practice until Thursday. He was a little winded tonight, but I think it was good to get him back in the groove. We have a long season, we haven’t even started conference play, but I think we are building to where we’re going to be able to play the way we want to play. First things first is next week against (UT) San Antonio. Rashard needs to have a great week of practice and be ready to go on Saturday.” (on Nick Stevens’ performance) “I thought Stevens played well. Anytime you look at the tape you’re going to go back and say that we had a chance on this and that one, but you’re not going to hit every throw and you’re not going to make every correct decision, you have to keep playing. I think it showed a lot of resolve in him and a lot of belief in the offense in him to do that after the pick‐six. It would’ve been easy to hang your head. I thought he played confident, I thought he was into the game and got us into the right play, but we have to continue to improve in that position. I think he’s improved from last week. That team we played last week was very good defensively, especially in the secondary, and we knew it was going to be a rough day. We thought we would be able to do a few things tonight which we did, but we just didn’t do enough. We didn’t capitalize on enough opportunities, but that’s football. At the end of the day we still had a chance with the ball in our hands at the end of the game and we didn’t finish. Then we got the ball in overtime and didn’t finish like we need to do to win a ball game.” (on changes to the offensive line) “Nick Callender came back this week and we wanted to get Nick in there, he’s very athletic, and (Zack) Golditch at guard improved a bit athletically in size and strength. Last week was a rough week in the middle. I thought our offensive line played better tonight. We still had too many execution issues and some missed assignments that we have to continue to get better at. That happens when you have a new coach, new coaching staff, new offense, and nuance’s here and there. We’re not doing everything we would want to do offensively, but I do think we’re improving and moving in the right direction. Which is hard to say and a tough pill to swallow.”

SPORTS AUTHORITY FIELD AT MILE—DENVER, COLO. SATURDAY, SEPT. 19, 2015

COLORADO STATE PLAYERS

Junior LB Kevin Davis (on losing a second consecutive game in overtime) “Going into overtime twice and losing, it’s hard on us but we have to stay together as a team and get prepared for next week.” (on what they can take away from the game) “We have to finish. We have to learn how to finish. Once we get to doing that, we’ll be good.” (on whether or not he feels the team has regressed after being able to finish games well last season) “No, not really. It’s not on the coaches, it’s on us and we just have to stay together.” (on how he feels the defense is playing despite having a 1‐2 record) “There’s still stuff we have to do as a defense. We need to stop them from scoring points.” (on how they plan on bouncing back after losing games in overtime in consecutive weeks) “It’s hard but we’re just that much closer to winning so maybe with a little more push from us as a team will get us the W.” Sophomore QB Nick Stevens (on losing a rivalry game) “Any time you lose it definitely hurts, especially in overtime and especially in a rivalry game. Everyone on the field fought for the entire 60 minutes and the overtime period. When you give it your all and it doesn’t pan out for you, it’s tough, but we have to take it how it is, come back next week, and focus on winning the rest of the games.” (on whether or not he felt he rebounded this week) “I felt like I played better today than last week and I think the offense moved the ball really well. We didn’t have too much of a lull, and we moved the ball pretty much every drive, we just didn’t finish. The biggest thing is putting points on the board.” (on whether close losses this year are “payback” for winning close games last year) “No I don’t think so at all. We’re going to be all right and we need to focus on next week rather than what has happened these past two weeks and I think we can definitely do that.” (on the offense not finishing drives with points) “The biggest thing was finishing, even in overtime when you get on offense first, you have to try to score a touchdown so the other team doesn’t have to just kick a field goal. We drove down to the opposite side of the field just about every drive and we just didn’t finish. We have to come out and focus on that next week.” (on the level of frustration after the game) “I think everyone is really frustrated. When we went in to overtime, we were saying it wasn’t going to happen twice in a row, but it did. We just have to focus and press on and focus on the next week.”

(on whether or not he felt his receiver was hit early to cause the pick‐six) “I got hit on that play and I looked on the big screen afterwards. It looked like it bounced off of the defender’s shoulder up in to the air. I’m not the judge of whether he was early or not. It was definitely tight coverage.” (on whether or not he feels he should have made the throw that turned into the pick‐six) “You just have to take it how it is. Hindsight is 20‐20. It definitely wouldn’t have happened if I threw it at his feet but at the time with the defender coming from the outside, it looked like he would have been able to turn up field and make a big play. Looking back on it now with that result, obviously not but at the time I thought it was a decent decision. “ (on the missed field goals) “At the end of the day we wouldn’t be in those positions if we moved as an offense and put the ball into the end zone. I think we rushed on some of those third downs and we have to focus on converting and ending the drive with a touchdown and a PAT. That didn’t happen, so obviously there is frustration there but I think the special teams have been great the past couple weeks and we just have to put it on our shoulders to do something about that. It’s not his (Wyatt Bryan)’s fault.” (on how tough the loss is) “They’re all tough. I think we have to focus on not dwelling on it and come out next week and get the win.” Sophomore RB Dalyn Dawkins

(on his strategy for running the ball in today’s game)

“I think just running downhill and getting vertical every chance I got. I think that’s what worked best.”

(on how tough it was to lose in overtime)

“It makes it even tougher [since] it happened two weeks in a row. Same type of situation. We’re not going to

give up. We’re going to keep going, keep grinding, keep working.”

(on the interception CU returned for a touchdown that was intended for him and if the defender hit him early)

“Yeah, he did. But that’s alright. You’re not going to get every call. That’s life. That’s football.”

(on how it felt to have a great individual game but lose)

“It hurts. It hurts. I was really just hoping that we’d pull it off. We worked. We worked out there every snap,

giving it all. I definitely don’t doubt any of our guys’ effort. It hurts even more because the same thing

happened last week, you know, the same type of loss. “

(on what happened momentum‐wise after CSU’s good start to the game)

“That’s why we can never be satisfied. We’ve just got to keep going, got to keep going. I think we just weren’t

finishing our drives. We continued to move the ball, we just didn’t finish drives.”

(on his hamstring injury and if he had a chance to go back in the game)

“Yeah, I was on the sideline working to see if I was going to be able to do it. The thing is, I was able to jog but I

just can’t sprint. I’ll be back next week.”

(on his hardworking, quiet mentality)

“All my life, I’ve always played with a chip on my shoulder. I just knew a lot of people doubt me because of my

size, and I’ve just always worked. I’ve always worked and grinded because of that. Every day at practice, you

know, I go hard because you’ve got to treat every day like gameday.”

Junior WR Rashard Higgins

(on if he felt that him being back on the field brought automatic confidence to the passing game)

“Absolutely. Anytime my presence is being felt, it brings a lot of energy to the team, and I’m glad I can bring

that.”

(on not finishing drives)

“We’ve got to score once we get into the redzone. I’m pretty sure Coach knows that. We’ll do a pretty good

job of that going into next week.”

(on Dalyn Dawkins’ performance)

“Dalyn Dawkins, man. He’s crazy legs. He’s going to do what he does. Whenever he has the ball in his hands,

we’re expecting something big out of him and he showed up today.

(on Dawkins’ impact on the offense)

“It’s a great feeling. Whenever we don’t have to pass the ball, and we can rely on the run game, it’s a great

feeling. Dalyn Dawkins and Jasen Oden can provide that.”

(on CSU’s motivation going forward)

“I say, just don’t hang our heads down right now. Everything happens for a reason. We worked the fourth

quarter. We’ve been battling. We just came up at the short end of the stick. We’ll get it done.”

(on how he felt during the game)

“I felt good. I’m pretty sure you all saw me out there catching touchdowns. I felt good, man. Finally being back

in rhythm. Me and Nick linked up. You all saw it.”

(on if he felt like he had the chance to be a difference‐maker at the end of the game)

“You know what, Coach calls the plays and I can only execute what’s called. I’m just doing my job.”

(on how confident he is that the team can stick together going forward)

“I’m confident. Everything happens for a reason, that’s how I believe it. Just going into this next game, we

can’t put our heads down. We’ve got to lift each other up. That’s what we’ll do.”

(on if the two straight OT losses give CSU motivation going into next week)

“Absolutely. Just losing the game period, man, brings a lot of fire because we feel like then we’ve got a chip

on our shoulder to get a win. We’re going to bring it to the UTSA game.”

(on if he feels like CSU should be 3‐0 this season)

“Oh, absolutely, man. I don’t know what it is. We just keep losing in overtime. We’ll find a way to get there.”

(on if it’s harder being so close but losing)

“Yeah, man. It hurts. That blocked field goal man; that hurts. We did all we could. We just came up on the

short end of the stick. We never want to lose to a rival. But you know what, life goes on. We’ve got to get

prepared for the next game.”

Senior S Trent Matthews

(on the team) “It kills your joy, your momentum, and makes you wonder what type of team you are. I will tell you this team we have right here is going to stick together we are a family and sometimes things happen to family. As a leader I am going to continue to encourage my teammates because we are a good football team and we are going to be successful.” (on the difference from last year to this year) “Last year we finished. This year we are not finishing where we are supposed to. Last year we had an electrifying offense, this year we have an electrifying defense. That’s the key component for this year and last year. We have the same brotherhood, same logo, same jerseys, and we just could not find a way to win tonight.” (on defense’s performance this year despite being 1‐2) “It hurts but I tell you what, when the opponent puts on the film they only have a few choices. Either they are going to play hard or quit. I think we are successful, we are going to be successful in the future because we choose to want to be great. Right now it’s dark in the tunnel but our defense and our team we see the light right now. I have to continue to be encouraging, we are going to watch film tomorrow, and see what we can correct. It probably is the little things and at the end of the day you win or you lose, and we lost tonight but we have lots of games to play.” (on losing two consecutive overtime games) “Some people have fear that we might not win another game, but without fear there isn’t courage. I think our team is based off of courage, I think our team is based off of wanting to win, and wanting to be great. We are not going to stop doing that and it can go to overtime every week and we are still going to try and find a way to win. I am going to continue to encourage my team and keep leadership going, and next week we are going to find a way.” (on using the losses as motivation) “I mean next week, we haven’t looked at the film yet. We are going to my hometown, I am a San Antonio native born and raised and I am excited about next week. Right now I am still hurting and we still have a lot to show on offense, defense and special teams. We have a chip on our shoulder and we aren’t going to stop till we win.”

Senior LB Corey James

(on today’s game) “It hurts man, two in a row like that, it really hurts. I mean I don’t have many words to say but it hurts. “ (on not being able to hold onto the lead) “Little mistakes, we gave up big plays and we can’t have that next week or for the rest of the season. (on what’s next for the team) “We need to come together, and try to win the rest of the games till the end of the season” (on his confidence levels) “We have to keep confident, we have to keep confident and keep up our hope.” (on rivalry games) “Yes, it hurts worse. I don’t know, but it had me crying and I don’t cry often. It’s tough to lose games during your senior year.”

QUICKLY CBS College Sports let KOA’s Larry Zimmer voice the prerecorded opening for the broadcast of the game (Zimmer did his 480th CU football game tonight) … Colorado sold 31,796 tickets (7,145 student) for the game, CSU sold 31,601 and the Broncos 2,856; keep in mind 30% of CU’s season ticket holders opted not to take their tickets for the game and received an equal value in number for a Pac-12 game (and yet most of the difference was made up by single game sales) … Colorado is now 7-2 in non-conference games under Mike MacIntyre (2-1 vs. CSU), and the Buffs now lead the series 63-22-2 (9-6 in Denver) … CU has won two games in a row for the first time since Mac’s first two games in Boulder (2013); CU will be going for three straight for the first time since the first three games of the 2008 season … CSU opened the scoring 7:13 into the game, snapping a 49:35 scoreless run by the CU defense—the longest since the 2010 opener when Colorado held CSU scoreless the first 50:24 (and a 57:07 run counting the

’09 finale) … With two interceptions tonight, CU has five on the year in three games (after having just three in all of 2014) …

OVERTIME Colorado is now 6-7 in overtime games (2-0 versus CSU); CU snaps a three-game losing streak in OT games. Both OT games against CSU were won on field goals after CU made a defensive stop (Terrence Wheatley INT in 2007 in a 31-28 win; Kevin Eberhart kicked the game winner then; tonight S Tedric Thompson blocked a field goal before Diego Gonzalez’ kick). COMEBACK Colorado rallied from 14 points down for the win, tying its eighth largest comeback in its history; it eclipsed its largest deficit ever against the Rams to come back for a victory: in 1988, CSU jumped out to a 13-0 lead early in the second quarter but the Buffs rallied for a 27-23 win (on a Sal Aunese-to-Mike Pritchard 13-yard TD pass with 0:38 left). NICE HABIT For the second straight game, CU did not commit a turnover or allow a quarterback sack – now 18 times in its history (CU is 16-2 in those games). It was the sixth game under MacIntyre that CU did not turn the ball over (4-2) and the 74th dating back to 1946 when records are available (49-21-4). INDIVIDUAL LINER NOTES

OLB Kenneth Olugbode (INT/TD). He had the first interception of his career and returned it 60 yards for a touchdown… on his 20th birthday (Sept. 19).
