COLLEGE FOOTBALL : Colorado Survives Iowa State Scare; Showdown With Nebraska Is Next
- Share via
AMES, Iowa — In beating Iowa State, 50-28, it might look like Colorado had an easy time. Far from it.
Iowa State threw a scare into the ninth-ranked Buffaloes, leading 28-27 in the fourth quarter Saturday before Colorado regrouped and won going away with three touchdowns and a field goal in the final 11:10.
Colorado had been upset by Kansas, 40-24, in its previous game.
“I thought we did a nice job of rallying when the game got into question,” said Colorado Coach Rick Neuheisel, whose team plays No. 2 Nebraska next Saturday. “We found ourselves, I’m hoping, as a team.”
Lendon Henry ran for 111 yards and three touchdowns as Colorado, 6-1 overall and 2-1 in the Big Eight, defeated Iowa State for the 12th consecutive time and kept the Cyclones (2-5, 0-3) winless in their last 12 conference games.
Iowa State’s Troy Davis, the nation’s leading rusher, ran for 203 yards and three touchdowns in 33 carries.
