Buffs extend winning streak ahead of home game against Utah
The Buffs are now 7-2 after winning three consecutive games with the latest W against Texas Tech on their home turf.
DENVER (KDVR) — The University of Colorado Buffaloes are on a winning streak.
The Buffs are now 7-2 after winning three consecutive games with the latest W away against Texas Tech.
On Saturday, Colorado overcame an early deficit to beat the Red Raiders 41-27.
“We started out slow. That’s not indicative of who we are,” head coach Deion Sanders said. “But I felt confident that in the second half, we would go do what we ultimately did.”
Shedeur Sanders was 30 of 43 for 291 yards. Shilo Sanders recovered a fumble in the end zone with 51 seconds left. Two-way star Travis Hunter had nine catches for 99 yards and a touchdown.
In honor of defeating Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas, Shedeur signed a tortilla that was thrown on the field and posed with members of the Tech band.
After the third straight win, the Buffs have moved up three spots on AP's Top 25 poll, now sitting at No. 18.
The team is also on pace to play in the Big 12 Championship Game with a chance to qualify for the 12-team College Football Playoff.
Next up, the Buffs will be highlighted by a national pregame show for the second week in a row.
