The Colorado Buffaloes were able to go on the road and decimate the Arizona Wildcats in Big 12 Conference action by a final score of 34-7. The Buffs were able to just control the game from the beginning and it was to the point that two-way star and Heisman Trophy hopeful Travis Hunter was able to sit out for the entire second half of the game to rest his shoulder that was injured last week.

The Buffaloes (5-2, 3-1 Big 12) are now one win away from being bowl-eligible for the first time in the Deion Sanders era, though they are hoping for more than just a bowl game. Meanwhile, the Wildcats fell to (3-4, 1-3) and are looking for some answers to try and recover after being shut out for the final three quarters.
