First Quarter


The opening quarter saw the Wildcats take an early lead with 17 points while keeping the Buffs scoreless. The Buffaloes struggled to find their rhythm offensively and defensively during this period.


Second Quarter


In the second quarter, Colorado managed to put points on the board with a touchdown pass from Kaidon Salter. However, Arizona's offense continued its dominance by adding another 21 points before halftime. Despite efforts from players like Omarion Miller, who caught two touchdowns for Colorado, it was not enough to close the gap significantly.


Third Quarter


As play resumed after halftime, both teams exchanged touchdowns in an attempt to gain momentum. Julian Lewis contributed with a notable passing touchdown for Colorado; however, Arizona maintained control by scoring twice more during this period.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw limited scoring action as defenses tightened up on both sides of play - only allowing one field goal each way which left little room for any dramatic comebacks or changes within match dynamics overall.


Throughout this matchup between these two teams there were several game-changing plays: Jeremiah Brown's sack and forced fumble stood out among them but ultimately did not alter course significantly enough towards victory favoring home side today instead leaving fans reflecting upon post-game thoughts about what could have been different if certain opportunities had been seized better earlier along way perhaps?
