BOULDER, COLO. (AP) -- Colorado coach Jon Embree wouldn't mind seeing a few snowflakes fall to help prevent another flurry of scoring.
The banged-up Buffaloes have struggled in their inaugural season of Pac-12 play, giving up nearly 45 points in conference games.
That's why Embree was hoping a storm would pass through town Friday night when the Buffs (1-8, 0-5) host No. 21 Southern California, a team not exactly used to frigid conditions.
A blizzard might be one way -- possibly even the best way -- for Colorado to put the brakes on quarterback Matt Barkley and the high-powered Trojans offense. USC (6-2, 3-2) hasn't played a game in the snow since a 40-12 loss at Notre Dame more than five decades ago.
Not that it's likely to happen this week.
