However, these events transpired since Nebraska's first loss that year to Colorado: No. 2 Florida lost to Tennessee, the Colorado Buffaloes went on to win the Big 12 Championship Game over No. 3 Texas, and in the SEC Championship Game, No. 2 Tennessee was stunned by LSU. This left Miami as the undefeated and undisputed No. 1 team in the country but a host of other teams vying for No. 2. Oregon played against the 2-loss Colorado Buffaloes on January 1, 2002. Colorado scored first, with a 1-yard touchdown to take the lead, 7–0. Oregon would score after them, tying the game 7–7. Oregon would score on their next 5 possessions, including a 49-yard touchdown run by Maurice Morris, in which Morris sat down on a defender after a failed attempt at a tackle and continued to run, and an 80-yard Joey Harrington pass to WR Samie Parker. Colorado would score twice in the 4th quarter, nailing a field goal and a touchdown with a failed PAT, but Oregon would prevail 38–16, earning their first Fiesta Bowl win under HC Mike Bellotti. This game also marked Bellotti's first 11-win season. 2001 Colorado Buffaloes football team 2002 Fiesta Bowl Fiesta Bowl#2 Oregon vs. #3 Colorado Ducks 7 14 7 10 Buffaloes 7 0 0 9 January 1 Sun Devil Stadium, Tempe, Arizona 5:00 p.m. PST 74,118 ABC yes Q1 COL Drumm 1 yard run (Brougham kick) COL 7–0 Q1 ORE Howry 28 yard pass from Harrington (Siegel kick) Tie 7–7 Q2 ORE Parker 79 yard pass from Harrington (Siegel kick) ORE 14–7 Q2 ORE Smith 6 yard pass from Harrington (Siegel kick) ORE 21–7 Q3 ORE Morris 49 yard run (Siegel kick) ORE 28–7 Q4 ORE Peelle 4 yard pass from Harrington (Siegel kick) ORE 35–7 Q4 COL Flores 39 yard field goal ORE 35–10 Q4 COL Graham 4 yard pass from Ochs (kick failed) ORE 35–16 yes Oregon Football Report The Register-Guard Eugene, Oregon January 2, 2002 Conrad John It's Oregon's party The Register-Guard Eugene, Oregon January 2, 2001 Conrad John Buffaloes crumble as UO rumbles to victory The Register-Guard Eugene, Oregon January 2, 2001 Bellamy Ron Wild dreams coming true The Register-Guard Eugene, Oregon January 2, 2002 Moseley Rob Surprise!
