Utah did not face longtime rival Colorado in the previous two years. This season the Redskins upset the No. 8 Buffaloes at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado, Utah's first win in the rivalry since 1948.[1] After 1962, the series went on hiatus until 2011, when both schools joined the Pac-12 Conference.
