BOULDER, Colo. -- For Mike MacIntyre, the best thing about the biggest turnaround in college football this season is that Colorados seniors are getting to experience the Buffaloes renaissance themselves.It means everything that this group of guys was able to get it done in their time, McIntyre said. Its really unique to me that with these guys hard-earned work, all their blood, sweat, tears and body parts, that these guys get to do it. Not often in life does that always happen. If we finish this like we want, it truly is a dream realized.To do that, the ninth-ranked Buffaloes (9-2, 7-1 Pac-12, No. 9 CFP) have to beat No. 21 Utah on Saturday night at Folsom Field.A win secures the Pac-12 South title for the Buffaloes, who lost 40 of their first 45 conference games since joining the Pac-12 in 2011, including 2-25 under MacIntyre, who came aboard in 2013.An upset by the Utes and USC would instead head to the Pac-12 title game for a shot at the Rose Bowl -- or maybe the College Football Playoff.The Utes (8-3, 5-3) were also in the hunt for the Pac-12 South title until losing to Oregon 30-28 on a last-minute touchdown at home last week.Now, theyre out to spoil the Buffaloes dream year.I want them to feel how we felt after Oregon, senior receiver Tim Patrick said. You always have to find something to play for. Were playing the No. 9 team in the country at their place. Theyre going to be jumping because its going to be their first time having a chance to go to the Pac-12 championship. I like playing the spoiler.The Buffaloes have secured their first winning season since 2005 and are bowl eligible for the first time since 2007.MacIntyre said the Buffs are ahead of schedule.You always want to win right away, but I knew for a fact that we had to build a foundation, culturally, he said. Everybody says that, but in any company you have do that. We had to build a foundation physically and we had to build a foundation mentally, because we were deficient in all those areas and it takes a while to do all those.The great thing is with all those seniors and the culmination of a bunch of different things happened, we were able to hit it right now, which is awesome.The Buffs are celebrating the journey but theyre focused on finishing the race.In my eyes if we dont win Saturday (and) we dont become Pac-12 South champs, to me we just won a bunch of games, senior center Alex Kelley said. Its cool, but thats not our ultimate goal.Other sub-plots as the Buffaloes try to snap a four-game losing streak to the Utes on Saturday night:SUSTAINED EXCELLENCE: The Buffaloes are counting on their resurgence being more than a one-year wonder, and a trip to the conference title game would help.Football is important at the University of Colorado, but it just hasnt been very good in a while, MacIntyre said. Hopefully we can keep doing what were enjoying doing and keep building it. The kids in high school, we werent very good when they were younger. Hopefully we can keep developing that and get a lot of following back.The Buffs resurgence already has paid dividends: Pomona lineman Jake Moretti, the states top football recruit in the class of 2017, flipped his commitment from Ohio State to Colorado, joining a bumper Buffs recruiting class that will replace their sensational senior class.CUP OF JOE: Utah running back Joe Williams has run for 1,088 yards in just seven games, including 1,013 yards in the five games since he came out of retirement. His 155.5 yards per game put him on pace for a school record.I wish he would have stayed retired, MacIntyre said. He might have found a secret that other running backs will use out there: stay off your legs for a while and dont go through camp and come back fresh.SENIOR CELEBRATIONS: Unlike recent seasons, senior day at CU wont be a tearful goodbye.I told them everybodys coming here for Thanksgiving and everybodys going to be excited, but theyre not coming here for their last game, MacIntyre said. Theyre coming here to see if they can go to Levis Stadium. Its a whole different mentality. To me, its definitely a send-off, but its not an end-off.THATS MY QUARTERBACK: What else can MacIntyre say about senior Sefo Liufau? Asked what the record-breaking QB has meant to the Buffs program, MacIntyre said: Everything.

Adam Scott has stormed to a share of the clubhouse lead with a brilliant second-round seven-under-par 65 at the Australian Open in Sydney.Steaming after opening with a disappointing 73, Scott took his frustrations out on Royal Sydney on Friday, rattling in seven birdies and an eagle on the 513-metre par-5 seventh.Veteran Rod Pampling continued his excellent form with a 66 to join Scott on top at six under for the championship.Fresh from hitting a $1.5 million jackpot in Las Vegas with his first win in America in a decade, Pampling was less spectacular with five birdies but steadier than Scott, who blotched his colourful scorecard with two bogeys.The cream certainly rose to the top on Friday, with fellow US PGA Tour stars Jhonattan Vegas and two-time Open champion Aaron Baddeley also making big moves.Vegass 66 vaulted him to equal third in the clubhouse at five under alongside first-round co-leaders Lucas Herbert and Curtis Luck, who had afternoon tee-offs.Baddeley followed up his first-round 74 with a sizzling 66 of his own to climb to four under overall in his quest to lift the Stonehaven Cup for a third time - and second time at Royal Sydney, having reigned as a teenaged amateur in 1999.ddddddddddddScotts morning-best 65 could have been even better if not for a slow start.He missed successive six-foot birdie attempts on his first two holes, then compounded his woes with a bogey on the third to briefly slip back to two over.But he was on his way after draining back-to-back 15-foot putts for birdies on his fourth and fifth holes.Two-time champion Peter Senior created headlines of his own on Friday but for vastly different reasons.The 57-year-old hobbled off the course with chronic hip pain six holes into his second round and immediately announced his retirement from golf.Its just horrendous, Senior said.I cant hit a golf shot out there. Its no good me being out there annoying the other guys because theyre playing pretty well so this is it for me. Im not playing any more golf. ' ' '
