Colorado missed a late field goal before allowing one as time expired to No. 21 Arizona, and the Buffaloes dropped their fourth game in a row.
It's been a rough few weeks for Colorado. Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes dropped their fourth straight game and sixth in their last seven Saturday against No. 21 Arizona, 34-31. With the game tied at 31, Colorado was primed to take a late lead as Alejandro Mata lined up for a 44-yard field goal attempt with about five minutes left. The attempt missed, giving the Wildcats the ball at their own 26 with 4:57 to go.
Arizona drove the field, killing clock in the process, and reached Colorado's 1-yard line with under a minute left. With the Buffaloes out of timeouts, the Wildcats knelt the clock out, and Tyler Loop knocked down a walk-off, 24-yard field goal as time expired. The Wildcats outscored Colorado 10-0 in the fourth quarter. The Buffaloes opened up the season by winning their first three games but are 1-6 since.
Jonah Coleman rushed for 179 yards as the Wildcats earned their fourth consecutive victory. Shedeur Sanders ran for a score and threw for two more, finishing with 262 yards passing to go over the 10,000-yard mark for his career. The Wildcats have their best record through 10 games since 2017. That was also the last year they were bowl eligible.
Colorado has two straight road games to finish the season, starting Friday at Washington State. Arizona hosts No. 18 Utah, which lost to No. 5 Washington, next week.
