Behind Enemy Lines: Buffaloes writer discusses Colorado’s upcoming trip to Autzen

We wanted to learn as much as possible about Colorado before the big game Saturday, so we went to Buffs writer Tony Cosolo for answers.

It’s the first real big game of the season for the Oregon Ducks, and who knew it would come in the form of the Colorado Buffaloes?

Both teams come into the game ranked in the Top 20 and for the first time in a very long time, Colorado has all the confidence of the world thanks to head coach Deion Sanders and the three wins under their belt.

Now the circus is on its way to Eugene, so we talked to USA TODAY’s Buffaloes Wire’s own Tony Cosolo about all things Buffaloes before the big game on ABC Saturday.

But Colorado will be shorthanded with two-way star Travis Hunter out. How big of an impact will that make on the final score of the game? Does Colorado have a legitimate chance of winning and what will that mean to their program? We asked Tony about these things surrounding the contest and much more.
