Or so we had thought
Or so we had thought. When Westbrook came down with the ball, I screamed at Brad, I screamed at the television. Even my wife, Lee, who was watching the game with me (albeit impatiently – the game was running long, and we were late for a party), started screaming It was unbelievable. CU was back in the National Championship hunt! I watched the video from the game over and over again, relishing the final play. I guess you could say that I may have watched it too many times, as several months later, during halftime of our Super Bowl party, I brought out the tape to show our guests The worn tape broke. (Fortunately, the tear came during the portion of the tape showing Michigan’s punt with 21 seconds remaining.
The important portion of the tape was preserved!). No rest for the weary. CU was 3-0, up to #5 in the polls, and the talk of the nation. But the Texas Longhorns, 3-0 and ranked 16th, wanted their own share of the nation’s attention. The Buffs only had seven days to celebrate, recuperate, and prepare for the showdown in Austin. The Buffs would go on to post a 11-1 record in Bill McCartney’s final season, falling only to Nebraska. Colorado completed its season ranked third after defeating Notre Dame, 45-24, in the Fiesta Bowl.
