Even though the Colorado Buffaloes no longer have their annual Friday after Thanksgiving game with the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the university announced on Tuesday afternoon that their Saturday, Nov. 26 game against the Utah Utes has been moved up a day to preserve that post-Thanksgiving football tradition. When the teams take the field on Nov. 25, it will be the 16th straight season the Buffs have played the day after Thanksgiving.
This comes just a week after CU announced that their November game with USC will be played on Friday, Nov. on ESPN2. That will be one of two games for the Buffs on nationally televised games. The Pac-12 released its early TV schedule and the Buffs' games with Hawai'i on Sept. 3 and USC are the only ones selected so far.
