History

Historical Context

In 1990, Colorado, fresh from an 11-0 regular season that earned a national title claim and a first bowl victory in 19 years, entered the game 7-4 as co-champion of the Big Eight North Division. Oklahoma arrived 11-0, ranked #2, riding a 13-game streak against unranked foes. Colorado’s 20-14 win snapped that streak, showing how historic program turnarounds can upend dominant teams.
