Colorado Buffaloes

The #19 Colorado Buffaloes are 3-0 entering their second road game of the season under Coach Prime Deion Sanders. They stunned everyone with a 45-42 road win against TCU in Week 1, then recorded a wild 43-35 overtime home win in State Rivalry against Colorado State. Shadeur Sanders, the junior QB, has accrued at least 348 passing yards in all three games, highlighted by 510 yards against TCU in the opener. Xavier Weaver is well on the path to 1,000+ receiving yards this season. He has already collected 386 yards in the last three games. Colorado's defense needs improvement, with an average of 460 total yards conceded each game. Power ranking of 127, 15 in offense (41.3 average points scored per game), #103 in defense (30.3 average points conceded per game), and 3-0 (2-1 ATS) this season.

Buffaloes' Defense Struggles Ahead of Showdown Against Oregon Ducks

The Buffaloes have shown potential with their offense, but their defense is a cause for concern. Twice this season they have allowed at least 35 points and last week conceded 499 total yards against Colorado State, a team predicted to be in the MWC bottom half. Oregon's experienced secondary will prove a difficult barrier to break as Colorado has already allowed 279 and 397 passing yards in games against TCU and Colorado State, respectively. QB Bo Nix has an impressive 78% completion rate this season and should pose a threat. Oregon's 13th ranked rushing offense should also be a challenge as Colorado have the 122nd ranked rush defense. Although the Buffaloes have been an exciting team to watch, it remains to be seen if they can contain a Ducks team championed by Shedeur Sanders.
