Colorado falls to No. 25 UCLA 40-37 in 2 OTs

The Buffaloes' hopes at their first conference win were thwarted when quarterback Brett Hundley scored on an 8-yard keeper in double overtime to give No. 25 UCLA a 40-37 victory over Colorado. UCLA (6-2, 3-2 Pac-12) squandered a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter as Colorado tied the game on a 35-yard field goal by Will Oliver with 36 seconds remaining. "When it ended all I kept thinking about was, 'What am I going to tell those young men when I get back into that locker room and see those crocodile tears, and the effort and the hard work and the blood and the sweat,'" Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said. The Buffaloes had the ball at the 4, but were called for a false start that ended the half without running a final play. Down 31-14 late in the third after a short score by Myles Jack, Colorado climbed back into the game behind the right arm of Liufau, who connected with Bryce Bobo for TDs of 38 and 3 yards. The Buffaloes went on a nine-play, 59-yard drive that culminated with a 35-yard field goal from Oliver. On their first play from scrimmage, Perkins headed left, found a seam and went 92 yards down the sideline for a score. The Bruins led 24-14 at halftime, pushing the team's record to 22-0 under coach Jim Mora when they go into the locker room ahead. Trailing 24-7 late in the second, they kept a drive going when Ishmael Adams' interception was negated by a pass interference penalty.
