On Monday afternoon, University of Colorado chancellor Philip P. DiStefano announced in conjunction with the Pac-12 conference and ESPN that the Colorado Buffaloes' schedule home game with the USC Trojans from Saturday, Nov. 5 to Friday, Nov. 4. It will now be a nationally televised game on ESPN2 at 7:00 p.m. MT.
