Colorado’s improved defense stood tall, too, slowing down an offense that entered game averaging a nation-leading 375.7 yards per game rushing. The Buffaloes forced four turnovers — intercepting KJ Jefferson twice, once in the end zone — and also denying UCF points on one drive that stalled inside the Colorado 1.
Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig finished off the strong defensive performance by picking up a fumble in the closing minutes and returning it 95 yards for Colorado’s final touchdown.
Both teams were coming off exciting comeback wins in their conference openers, with Colordao beating Baylor after forcing overtime on Sanders’ 43-yard Hail Mary TD to Wester on the last play of regulation and UCF wiping out a 21-point deficit on the road to defeat TCU 35-34.

Ranked as the sixth most beautiful golf course in the U.S. in The Golf Book of Lists, The Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course is set in a wide mountain valley and offers breathtaking panoramic views of Meeker and Longs Peaks. It also is home to some of the 3,200 elk roam that freely roam the surrounding area.
The vast majority golfers who come in contact with the resident elk will simply pick up or wait it out until they have a clear shot but there are some who blatantly disregard Section 33-6-128 of Colorado State Law that expressly prohibits harassment of any wildlife.
The following video was taken at the driving range and shows man purposely hitting a golf ball at group of elk. The person shooting the video threatens to send the video to the cops if the golfer continued to hit balls at the elk and comments that this is not the first time he has witnessed this type of heinous behavior.
Estes Park 18-Hole Golf Course does not have any specific wildlife guidelines for golfers on their website but they really should. The USGA does have rule 16.2 for Dangerous Animal Condition whereby a golfer is granted relief when a dangerous animal is near a ball as it lies.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife confirmed they are investigating this incident as wildlife harassment.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) – A Colorado Springs man was recently the victim of a murder, but not in Colorado.
Authorities in Mississippi are working the case of 23-year-old Elias Trudell who was found shot and left inside of a burning car at Luxapalila Park; just south of Columbus, Mississippi.
The Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office says it all stems from a drug deal gone bad.
On September 2nd, authorities were called to the scene of a burning car at an abandoned park. To their surprise, the body of a Colorado Springs man, Elias Trudell, was inside.

According to the sheriff’s office, Trudell and Malachi Salus drove from Colorado Springs to Columbus, Mississippi to transport drugs.
Investigators say the pair then devised a plan to rip off one of the people they were meeting.
Trudell’s family says they had no idea why he was going to Mississippi, “My cousin just told me it was like an easy way to get money, and that’s all he told me. He never mentioned anything about drugs,” Micaela Pritchard said.
Things didn’t go as planned and Trudell was shot before being placed into a car and set to flames.
His family tells KRDO13 that he was a good person at heart, but he hung around the wrong crowd, “Nobody deserves to die like that viciously…you guys didn’t even give us a chance for him to be buried properly and he was ashes, like, that is not okay,” Pritchard said.
