The game took place at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver, where over 61,000 fans witnessed an intense battle on the turf. The Colorado team managed to secure an early lead in the first quarter with seven points but failed to add to their tally for the remainder of the contest. Despite their efforts, they could not overcome the ten points scored by Texas A&M.


The Buffaloes' offense accumulated a total of 260 yards throughout the game. Their ground attack was notably more effective than their aerial efforts; they rushed for 171 yards and achieved nine first downs via running plays. The longest rush was recorded at 30 yards and one rushing touchdown was scored from just two yards out.


Passing proved less fruitful for Colorado as they completed only 13 out of 25 attempts for a modest sum of 89 passing yards. Unfortunately, one pass was intercepted by Texas A&M's defense which contributed to limiting scoring opportunities for Colorado.


Special teams had mixed results; while no punts were blocked and one punt reached as far as 55 yards, only one field goal attempt was made and it missed its mark without adding any points to Colorado's score.


On defense, Colorado managed to force one fumble which they recovered themselves but did not intercept any passes nor did they block any kicks or punts. They registered one sack against Texas A&M's quarterback and tackled opponents behind the line three times resulting in lost yardage.


Penalties were minimal during this encounter with only two infractions called against Colorado totaling just seventeen penalty yards – demonstrating disciplined play from both sides throughout four quarters of action.


Looking ahead after this narrow defeat, fans can anticipate watching their team again when the Colorado Buffaloes host Minnesota Golden Gophers at Folsom Field in Boulder on September 18th. This upcoming game is scheduled for a kickoff time that translates locally to noon Mountain Time and will be broadcasted on Pac-12 Network – providing supporters another opportunity to cheer on their team from either stands or screens.
