BOULDER, Colorado – The University of Northern Colorado opened its 2021 football season at the University of Colorado at Boulder on Friday. UNC fell to CU, 35-7.
It was the first matchup for UNC in 650 days and the first time since September 16, 2017 that the Bears and the Buffs played against each other.
Here’s what Twitter users had to say about the game.

Ay, if Dylan and Max can get this @UNC_BearsFB Insult on the line, the bears will go away with you @BigSkyConf Title. This bear defense is dirty. Plus, they’ll literally punch you in the mouth.

This is not exactly the trend. This is northern Colorado. You haven’t played a soccer game in 2 full years

Well, that first quarter offensive film deserves a match and gasoline. #CUBuffs The two best offensive games were late hits from UNC. It looks like a first game. But it’s early #Denver7

He is back! We hired the greatest sports cartoonist of our time (was there a better one in 1907?) – Drew Litton will be drawing for the Buffs. His first attempt in 2021: pic.twitter.com/TfaZsjkrZf
