The Colorado Buffaloes have to be feeling good heading into its first of two rivalry games. After defeating the TCU Horned Frogs and appearing in the AP Top 25 for the first time since the COVID-shortened 2020 season, head coach Deion Sanders and his team are ready to come home and host the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Saturday.
Nebraska has to feel snake-bitten at this point after dropping another close game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers, 13-10, to open the season. The Cornhuskers held a late lead before turning the ball over on back-to-back possessions to give up the game-tying and game-winning scores. That loss dropped Nebraska to 2-14 in its past 16 one-score games.
As we all know, records don’t mean much in rivalry games, and we want you to be as prepared as the Buffaloes are for Nebraska.
