Though the WT offense worked well, gaining 452 yards of offense including 408 passing by junior quarterback Taylor Harris.
Harris, in his third start, hooked up with newcomer Tyson Williams a lot. The sophomore caught eight balls for 92 yards.
The players and coach Don Carthel all cited mistakes contributing to the loss.
The No. 11 Buffs are now 0-1 and dropped just their fifth home game under Carthel. Grand Valley State, No. 1 in the nation, has now won 43 consecutive regular-season games.

How do you get lucky enough to draw the #1 team for a season opener. What were the offensive stats for grand valley if WT racked up almost 500 yards of offense?
Grand Valley ended up with 377 yards of offense, 216 passing and 161 rushing. WT looked good until they lined up for field goals or got in the red zone.
In Division II, the good teams have to play other good teams in non-conference because mediocre D-II teams don't want to lose and won't schedule teams like WT or Grand Valley State.
