It Happened Against Colorado
1977 - In Bill Walsh's first game as Stanford head coach, the Cardinal fell to the 12th-ranked Buffaloes, 27-21, at Folsom Field. Darrin Nelson, playing in his first collegiate game, ran for 99 yards on 15 carries and caught four passes for 77 yards.
1987 - Colorado's wishbone offense rolled up 413 rushing yards as the Buffaloes posted a 31-17 victory at Folsom Field.
1990 - Stanford built a 14-0 lead against the sixth-ranked Buffaloes only to see Colorado rally with two third-quarter touchdowns to tie the game. Stanford regained the lead and was poised to upset the eventual national champions until Eric Bieniemy's controversial game-winning touchdown with 12 seconds remaining on fourth-and-goal from the one-yard line. Glyn Milburn accounted for 158 yards in total offense in his first game as a Cardinal.
1991 - Tommy Vardell (114) and Glyn Milburn (106) combined for 220 yards rushing as Stanford posted a 28-21 victory over the defending co-national champions at Stanford Stadium.
1993 - Before a national television audience on ESPN, No. 20 Stanford and No. 7 Colorado combined for 1,022 yards of total offense as the Cardinal scored 14 points in the final 3:33 - including the game-winner with eight seconds remaining - to upset Colorado, 41-37, at Stanford Stadium. Steve Stenstrom connected with tight end Tony Cline over the middle for the winning touchdown.
2011 - Andrew Luck completed 26 of 33 passes for 370 yards and three touchdowns as the Cardinal cruised to a 48-7 win in front of a sellout crowd of 50,360 at Stanford Stadium. Former Stanford greats John Elway and Tiger Woods were on the sideline as the Cardinal won its 13th straight game dating back to 2010 to extend the nation's longest winning streak.
2012 - Kevin Hogan replaced quarterback Josh Nunes and ignited 15th-ranked Stanford to a 48-0 rout of Colorado, the Buffaloes' first shutout at home in 26 years. Hogan picked apart the nation's worst defense, throwing for 184 yards and running for 48 more in just two quarters of work. Hogan led Stanford -- which had last won in Boulder in 1904 -- to touchdowns on his first four drives, putting the Buffaloes in a 35-0 halftime hole, then added two more scoring drives in the third quarter. The Buffaloes didn't reach Stanford's side of the field until tight end Nick Kasa's 20-yard catch at the Cardinal 33 with 9:16 left in the game. But a sack two plays later cost them 24 yards and pushed them back across midfield, and they never got back. The Cardinal handed the Buffs their first shutout at Folsom Field since a 28-0 loss to Oklahoma on Nov. 15, 1986, snapping a streak of 150 straight games in which the Buffs had scored at home.
2015 - Christian McCaffrey posted 220 all-purpose yards and threw a touchdown pass on a trick play in Stanford's 42-10 rout of Colorado. McCaffrey's 28-yard touchdown toss to tight end Austin Hooper was the highlight of his homecoming in front of family and friends who drove up from nearby Denver, where he starred at Valor Christian High School and where his father, Ed, starred for the Broncos in the 1990s.
