Colorado vs Northwestern Postgame: Buffs’ Sloppy 41-7 Loss, Coach Prime’s Message, and What’s Next in Big 12 Play Oliver Hayes and Leo Pulver Rivera IV are joined by Will Burnett live from rainy Evanston after Colorado’s 41-7 loss to Northwestern, calling it one of the worst defeats of the Coach Prime era.
They break down a night defined by sloppiness and lack of discipline—turnovers (two fumbles, two interceptions), failed fourth downs, penalties like Boo Carter’s unsportsmanlike, and persistent secondary issues including wheel routes. Will recaps a somber press conference where Coach Prime challenged players’ attitudes, discussed Julian “Juju” Lewis’s uneven but developing play, and emphasized learning from the loss before Big 12 play begins at Baylor.
They credit Northwestern quarterback Aidan Chiles and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly for having answers all night, discuss running back usage after fumbles, and close with notes on Will’s Chicago trip, the welcoming Northwestern crowd, and upcoming Buff Stampede coverage.
