Colorado makes history with halftime lead over Nebraska

For the first time since 2004, Colorado is holding a lead over Nebraska at the half.

The Buffaloes currently lead the Cornhuskers 13-0 in the Week 2 matchup. Colorado came into the game with momentum after a big win over TCU last week, and after a slow first quarter, the Buffaloes got their offense going to claim an early lead.

The quarterback that led Colorado to a halftime lead in 2004 was Joel Klatt, who is calling the game today on FOX Sports.

Colorado ended up winning that 2004 game 26-20, and the Buffaloes are looking for another win today. Since the turn of the 21st century, Nebraska has won 7 matchups and Colorado has won 6. Colorado has won the last 2 games over Nebraska and will be looking for a third straight. The Buffaloes are on the right track right now.

While Colorado has won the last 2, Nebraska has dominated the series all-time, leading 49-20-2. As Colorado enters the Deion Sanders era, the Buffaloes are hoping to start putting a dent in that record.
