The Colorado Buffaloes look to keep on rolling as they take on the Baylor Bears on Saturday at Folsom Field. After absorbing a 28-10 loss at the hands of Nebraska, the Buffaloes completed a quick turnaround in week 3 as they pulled off a surgical 28-9 win over Colorado State. Shedeur Sanders enhanced his draft stock by throwing four touchdowns and covering 310 yards on 36-for-49 completion. Sanders’ terrific quarterbacking has pushed Colorado into the top-10 of passing yards per game (333.0 passing yards per game). The Bears also came through with a bounced-back win over Air Force 31-3. Baylor, who succumbed to No.11 Utah 23-12 in week 2, turned a 6-3 halftime lead into a 28-point blowout win behind three rushing touchdowns and lockdown defense. Baylor is allowing an average of 9.7 points per game this season, which the 14th best defensive mark in college football.
