Led by second-year head coach and alumnus Jon Embree, the Buffaloes played home games on campus at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado. The season was a disaster for the Buffaloes, who were regularly blown out by their opponents. CU lost to FCS Sacramento State, 30–28, and only managed a single win with a late comeback at Washington State (who would finish last in the Pac-12 North) 35–34, in Mike Leach's first season with the Cougars. Among those losses, they lost 69–14 at Fresno State, got shut out 48–0 at home vs Stanford, 70–14 at Oregon, 51–17 to Arizona State, 42-14 vs UCLA, and 50–6 at USC. The Buffaloes lost by about 28 points a game, and allowed 46 points a game (worst in the FBS that year). Two days after the season on November 25, Embree was fired; he compiled a 4 21 y record, including 1–11 in his final year. To date, this is the worst season in program history.http://www.denverpost.com/cu/ci_22064455/jon-embree-out-colorado-buffaloes-football-coach Jon Embree fired as Colorado Buffaloes coach, says he needed more time November 25, 2012 Since 1917, CU previously had one-win seasons twice (1980, 1984; both 1–10).
