1971 Colorado vs. LSU (All 22)

The CU Buffaloes would begin their 1971 campaign with a major upset over No.9 ranked LSU in Death Valley. The Buffs would do so by playing a complete game which would exhibit impressive defensive play and a hungry run game. CU would put the pressure on LSU quarterbacks all game, forcing six turnovers (four by interception) throughout the course of the contest. Meanwhile, the CU offense would go on to average just over five yards per carry against an LSU defense which led the nation in stopping the rush a year prior. An ample running game would open the door for CU quarterback Ken Johnson to spread the field through the air, spreading the ball to seven different receivers for 82 yards and a touchdown. CU's first game of the season would not be a fluke as the Buffaloes would finish the season with a 10-2 record and a No.3 national ranking by season's end. The Buffaloes would also receive the opportunity to play in the Bluebonnet Bowl, where they would beat the University of Houston by a score of 29-17 to capture their fourth bowl game win in the school's history.
