CU bounced back in a big way on Saturday, obliterating UMass in Boulder by a score of 48-14.
The Buffs got huge days from Michael Adkins II and Christian Powell who both rushed for more than 100 yards and found the end zone a combined three times.
So how’d it all go down? Here’s some rapid reaction from Colorado’s beat down of the Minutemen.
HERE COMES RALPHIE! The best tradition in all of sports JUST HAPPENED! #GoBuffs
