  "account": "Colorado Buffaloes lost a close game to Utah 27-24. The Buffaloes started slowly and struggled to score in the first half. In the third quarter, the Buffaloes went from being down 13-0 to leading 14-13. Utah scored before the quarter ended, leaving Colorado with the ball in the fourth quarter with 56 seconds left. The Buffaloes executed their best performance of the season, but failed to convert a Hail Mary attempt. Quarterback Isaac Wilson showed flashes of explosiveness in the third quarter but is not a permanent solution. The Buffaloes defense was elite, holding Utah to 27 points. Receiver Joseph Williams had a disappointing game, with DeAndre Moore Jr. stepping up and catching five passes for 70 yards. The Buffaloes need to get JaQuail Smith more involved in the remaining games to potentially make a bowl game.",
