This year’s supposed to be different for the University of Colorado football team.
Thursday night in Hawaii was a very disappointing way to start things off.
The Buffs lost to the Rainbow Warriors 28-20 as three turnovers, some shaky special teams play and a rough night for QB Sefo Liufau all really hurt.
The game didn’t even kick until 11:00 p.m. MST, so here’s some rapid reaction while your were asleep from a few brave souls who stayed up and watched and folks at the game.
In paradise, Buffs go 3 and out. Get punt blocked. Give up TD. Surrender 2 pt PAT. Other than that. Good start. Things have changed?

Run, run, slant. Eight months to draw that up? #buffs

Announcers keep referencing the 1am EST start time, presumably because of all the coverage and viewership of this game on the east coast…

Montee Ball thinks CU's running game is anemic. #buffs

Buffs look bad in the trenches again. Discouraging.

Buffs do not look good. . . This game is ugly. . . i've been warning Buff Fans all week about the dangers of this game. . .

Sefo looks off. Offense looks off. Just nothing there offensively at all.

What are you doing? Seriously. What is that?

How undisciplined can you possibly be? This is terrible.
— Zach Fogg (@zachfoggsports) September 4, 2015
The Buffs defense is doing all they can.

This is very bad football.

Second time a Buff has missed a key tackle by attempting to strip the rock. Just make the tackle.

This game has worried me for a long time. . . Tough to win in that humidity, it's not over. . . Go Buffs

That's how you respond. Nice drive there by the Buffs. I'm not even tired.

Blocked punt. Fumbled punt. Pick in red zone. Missing easy safety. Only down one. Settling down. #Buffs

Colorado just looks like Colorado. All the fancy videos in the world won't change that.

Still awake. I still like going for it there. Can't afford to lose to freaking Hawaii. Stay aggressive.

CU's inability or refusal 2 make a play downfield puts too much pressure on offense. #bigplayplease

There are exactly 23 U of Hawaii students in attendance. I counted.

Hard not to overreact but this is a disaster! All the talk about bowl game and this is how u start. Be lucky to start 2-2. #cubuffs
— Eric Christensen (@cbseric) September 4, 2015
Buffs in big trouble now. Two score deficit. No more joking around. This is an awful start to the season.
— Vic Lombardi (@VicLombardi) September 4, 2015
Final score: UH 28, CU 20.
