downtown. highs above average. 73 in denver, 79 in lamar, 70 in eagle, and 71 in grand junction. tomorrow if you're out early, mid-40s, clear skies, but winds out of the south warm us up quickly. upper 40s at the airport. the humidity levels increasing east of town, but downtown the humidity level is about 15 percent or so. and here in the 9 news backyard the moisture is acting like a blanket and keeping minimums up a bit. still tracking dangerous hurricane matthew, a category 1 set to be downgraded tomorrow as it moves offshore. it will move offshore, but there's been substantial flooding across the columbines today, and the forecast -- carolinas today, and the forecast models aren't really sure what to do with matthew once it goes offshore.

will just be, you know, even more preparation getting all the reps with the ones right now until trevor can come back, so day in and day out i'm just trying to make sure that i can do whatever i can to help this team win the game on sunday. >> not being last forever. well, cu hopes that's the case. the buffs have still never ever beaten usc, 0 for 11 against the trojans, but this one was rankerred team for the first time since 2005, and they did catch a break early on forcing and recovering a fumble in the end zone to keep sc out of it, but only temporarily. the trojans make it 14-0 on this crazy play. sam gets loose, somehow gets it off to tyler, who scored not once but twice today. 14-0 bad guys after he dives in. but still the defense kept

four turnovers, and then this one that's a touchdown. love the call. to receiver to the running back. buffs back in it. down 14-7. soon to be 14-14. bobo again, this time on the receiving end. what a game, a great game, with a bad ending as usc scored the next and final touchdown. cu losing their first conference game. the final 21-17. the foot. didn't play our typical colorado football. we didn't play fast and tough all the time or get into a rhythm like we like. they had a lot to do with that and we had a lot to do with it, so we had our opportunities to go take the game and didn't do it. >> and the rams have lost back to back games and the touchdown underdog tonight at home
