Cincinnati vs. Colorado Preview

The Colorado Buffaloes are coming off a dominant victory over the Arizona Wildcats last weekend, returning to the winner's circle after their defeat to the then No. 18 ranked Kansas State Wildcats the previous week.

Quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw for 250 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions against Arizona. The game also saw a return to form for safety Shilo Sanders. The safety returned to action from injury against Kansas State in a performance criticized by Deion Sanders.

However, he improved against Arizona, being one of the main reasons why Wildcats quarterback Noah Fifita was limited to only 138 yards.

The Buffaloes have returned to their usual high-scoring form, and this gives them a strong chance of victory.

Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bearcats defeated the Arizona State Sun Devils last weekend by being dominant in the run game. During their victory, they recorded 191 yards on the ground, which included two touchdowns from Bearcats quarterback Brendan Sorsby.

"That was the main emphasis that we had all week was we needed to run the ball, " said Bearcats offensive lineman Luke Kandra.

However, the Bearcats could have been seen as lucky to win this game, as Arizona State missed two late field goals, which would have kept them in the game.

To defeat Colorado, Cincinnati will need to use a run game to break through a Buffaloes defensive line that at times struggled this season against similarly matched or bigger teams.

This should be a closely fought encounter that could go either way. However, the Buffaloes should be able to use their home-field advantage to seal victory.
