Does Colorado play today? College football schedule for Coach Prime's Buffaloes' next game after Week 8 bye
The Colorado Buffaloes have been one of the most popular programs this season. However, they are not on the Week 8 docket as they have a bye to recover and attempt to finish the regular season on a good note.
With the Buffaloes sitting at 4-3 (1-3) and preparing for their Week 9 matchup against the UCLA Bruins, this is a good time to look at the team and assess where they stand. Coach Deion Sanders needs to figure out how to get more production out of his defense and extra protection out of the offensive line.
Their offense has been clicking, as they are scoring an impressive 34.4 points per game and have a +6 turnover ratio. However, the team averages 80 yards in penalties and is 123rd in all of college football, with 35.9 points allowed per game.
They lost their best skill position player for a little while in cornerback/wide receiver Travis Hunter, but they need to figure out how to be a force to end the first season with coach Sanders at the helm.
