What to Know
This Saturday, the Colorado Buffaloes are hoping to patch up the holes in a defense that has allowed an average of 43.2 points per game. Their week off comes to an end as they meet up with the California Golden Bears at 2 p.m. ET at Folsom Field Saturday. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Colorado found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 43-20 punch to the gut against the Arizona Wildcats two weeks ago. The Buffaloes’ loss shouldn’t obscure the performances of QB Owen McCown, who passed for one TD and 186 yards on 30 attempts in addition to rushing for one TD and 43 yards, and RB Anthony Hankerson, who punched in one rushing touchdown.
Meanwhile, California received a tough blow two weeks ago as they fell 28-9 to the Washington State Cougars. QB Jack Plummer wasn’t much of a difference maker for the Golden Bears; Plummer passed for 273 yards on 33 attempts.
Colorado is the clear underdog, so they’re hoping it’s the size of the fight that determines this one. They have failed bettors playing the spread in their past three games, so buyers beware.
Colorado suffered a grim 26-3 defeat to California when the two teams previously met in October of last year. Maybe the Buffaloes will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
