What to Expect in Colorado vs. Utah Matchup
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders has been exceptional this season, amassing 2,882 passing yards and 24 touchdowns. His chemistry with star wide receiver Travis Hunter, who has nine touchdowns, remains a key strength for the Buffaloes.
However, Sanders faces a tough challenge against Utah’s defense, which is ranked 23rd nationally and allows only 307.4 total yards per game.
One critical factor in the matchup will be Colorado’s offensive line, which has struggled throughout the season, conceding 28 sacks. Utah’s pass rush is a disruptive force, capable of applying consistent pressure.
For Colorado to succeed, they must improve their protection and give Sanders the time to exploit Utah’s secondary.
Utah, on the other hand, will play without key offensive players, including quarterback Cam Rising and tight end Brant Kuithe, their offensive line has also been inconsistent, surrendering 17 sacks and ranking 82nd nationally in tackles for loss allowed.
Defensively, Colorado has been dominant, leading the Big 12 with 29 sacks and placing in the top 25 nationally with 7.11 tackles for loss per game.
