Colorado Buffaloes Poised to Stun Utah Utes at Folsom Field

The Colorado Buffaloes are ready to take on the Utah Utes this Saturday. Coach Prime’s squad looks to continue their strong effort in front of the Folsom Field crowd, eager to topple a formidable Utah defense.

1. Shedeur Sanders vs. Utah’s Defense

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders has lit up defenses all season, boasting 2,882 passing yards and 24 touchdowns. He’ll face Utah’s disciplined defense, ranked 23rd nationally, allowing just 307.4 yards per game. Sanders’ connection with wide receiver Travis Hunter, who has scored nine touchdowns, will be pivotal in testing Utah’s secondary.

2. Colorado’s Offensive Line vs. Utah’s Pass Rush

Colorado’s offensive line has been a weakness, allowing Sanders to be sacked 28 times. Utah’s pass rush, known for creating havoc, will pressure Sanders heavily. To execute their game plan, the Buffs must protect their quarterback and give Sanders time to find his receivers.

3. Utah’s Injured Offense

Along with quarterback Cam Rising, Utah will be without tight end Brant Kuithe, who was a key part of their offense. Without Kuithe, Utah’s offense may struggle to keep pace with Colorado’s dynamic passing game, giving the Buffs a slight edge.

Prediction: Expect a hard-fought battle, but with Sanders and Hunter leading the way, the Buffaloes have the firepower to secure a double-digit win at home.
