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.

"Hes going to have hip surgery on Jan. 7, and hell be expected to rehabilitate for four to six months beyond that," Canucks general manager Mike Gillis said Friday in an interview.CHICAGO -- Stuart Holdens run of major injuries just wont stop. The U.S. national team midfielder tore his right anterior cruciate ligament early in the Americans 1-0 victory over Panama in the Gold Cup final on Sunday. He will consult with the medical staffs of U.S. Soccer and of the Bolton Wanderers, his England-based club, to formulate a treatment plan. "We are absolutely devastated for Stuart," U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said. "He is such a great part of our team on the field and the locker room. He worked tremendously hard to recover from previous injuries and had really come back into form. "He was fully prepared to head back to Bolton and challenge for a starting spot. Now he will have our full support as he goes down this road again, and we will be with him every step of the way." Holden collided with Panamas Alberto Quintero and took a knock on his left knee 18 minutes into the first half, but he grabbed his right knee after he hit the ground. Trainers worked with him briefly on the field before he got off and walked to the sideline, where they continued to work on him. As Holden sat on the bench, his head buried in his hands, teammates patted him on the head and shoulders trying to console him. He walked to the locker room a short time later, and was limping visibly when he rejoined his teammates for the victory ceremony. He later posted a photo of himself oon Twitter drinking from the Gold Cup trophy.dddddddddddd. "I will rise again!" Holden said Monday on Twitter. "Big love and thx to all the (at)officialbwfc and (at)ussoccer supporters, we will conquer once more. Lets do this .noholdenback" Holdens recent history has been a painful one. He broke his right leg on a vicious tackle by the Netherlands Nigel de Jong in March 2010. He hurt his left knee against Manchester United from Jonny Evans tackle a year later. Holden returned from surgery for a League Cup match against Aston Villa that September, then needed more surgery eight days later. He was out until January of this year, returning for three substitute appearances for Bolton, then four starts during a one-month loan to Sheffield on Wednesday, and another last-minute cameo for Bolton. All the while, he kept the faith that he could be a part of the U.S. team as it tried to qualify for next years World Cup. Although he has not been in a final-round qualifier, Holden got back on the national squad, making his first appearance in more than two years when he entered as a substitute on May 29 against Belgium. He was on the field for the entire 90 minutes of a Gold Cup group-round victory over Costa Rica. Now, he faces the unenviable challenge of yet another long recovery. Usually, a torn ACLs minimum recovery time is six months. The World Cup begins next June. ' ' '
