As two teams heading in opposite directions prepare to clash this Saturday, the Colorado Buffaloes are primed to host the struggling Utah Utes at Folsom Field. This Week 12 matchup is crucial for Colorado, who stands at an impressive 7-2 (5-1 in the Big 12) and has its eyes firmly set on the conference championship game. With the charismatic Deion Sanders leading the charge, alongside quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman frontrunner Travis Hunter, the Buffaloes are looking to solidify their position in the College Football Playoff rankings, where they currently sit at No. 17.

On the other side, Utah’s season has been riddled with injuries, with key players like quarterbacks Cam Rising and Brandan Rose, tight end Brant Kuithe, and wide receiver Money Parks all unavailable. This has significantly impacted head coach Kyle Whittingham's squad, resulting in a dismal 4-5 record (1-5 in the Big 12) and a heart-wrenching five-game losing streak.
