Colorado vs Nebraska game preview

Last year, Colorado started 3-0 but ended up losing eight of its last nine matchups to finish 4-8 without a bowl game. Deion Sanders and his team hope to better that performance in their new conference, the Big 12.

Amid that 3-0 run, the Buffaloes also took down Matt Rhule's Nebraska 36-14. There was bad blood between the two. However, contrastingly, this year's leadup to the game was much smoother, with "Coach Prime" singing praise of true freshman quarterback Dylan Raiola of the Nebraska Cornhuskers.

In his first game, Raiola impressed many as the Cornhuskers went on to crush the UTEP Miners 40-7. The signal-caller threw for 238 passing yards and two touchdowns on 19 of 27 attempts.

On the other hand, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, projected top pick in next year's NFL draft, also did well in Colorado's thrilling 31-26 win over North Dakota State in Week 1. He threw for 445 yards, four touchdowns and one interception on 26 of 34 pass attempts.

Not to mention another Heisman Trophy contender and Buffs two-way star Travis Hunter, who can change the game on its head. Last time out against the Bison, he caught seven receptions for 132 yards, including three touchdowns. In the defense as a cornerback, he made three tackles.

Though Colorado has two high-profile stars at its disposal, the Buffaloes are not the better team in this matchup in the eyes of oddsmakers, who suggest picking Nebraska with -7.0 favorites.
