The University of Colorado defeated Grand Canyon in the opening game for GCU.
It's a bit of slow burn for the 'Lopes as they look at an independent D1A season this year, and getting 31 points on the board shows they have some attacking ability.
"Exciting game," said GCU Head Coach Sean O'Leary. "But too many mistakes from both sides. This is turning into a good rivalry."
