A record-setting night in Boulder, Colo., for USC quarterback Matt Barkley.
Good news or bad news for the Trojans?
Barkley passed for a school single-game record six touchdowns -- and probably took a few more steps toward leaving USC after this season for the NFL.
So the Trojans should enjoy this one while they can.
Barkley completed 25 of 39 passes for 318 yards as USC improved to 7-2 overall, 4-2 in Pacific 12 Conference play.
Colorado, in its first season in the Pac-12, fell to 1-9, 0-6.
USC had 561 yards in total offense with receivers Robert Woods and Marqise Lee both having huge games and the Trojans spreading the ball around between three tailbacks.
Woods had nine catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns. Lee had nine receptions for 124 yards and two touchdowns.
Freshman Amir Carlisle led the USC rushing attack with 90 yards in 10 carries. He also caught two passes for 31 yards and a touchdown.
Starter Curtis McNeal had 87 yards in 10 carries and seldom-used D.J. Morgan chipped in 56 yards in nine carries.
Tyler Hansen completed 26 of 40 passes for 326 yards to lead Colorado. He threw for two touchdowns -- both to Toney Clemons, who had five catches for 112 yards.
USC blocked two field goals, one by Rhett Ellison and the other by Randall Telfer.
