The CU Buffs are back at Folsom Field this week for a matchup against Stanford in a rare Friday night home game.
Colorado and Stanford are both led by first-year head coaches — Deion Sanders and Troy Taylor, respectively — but their inaugural seasons so far have followed vastly different paths. Coach Prime’s 4-2 Buffs are only two wins away from reaching bowl eligibility while the 1-4 Cardinal’s lone win of the year came in Week 1 at Hawaii.
With quarterback Shedeur Sanders rolling and two-way star Travis Hunter potentially returning from an injury he suffered in Week 3, the Buffs are favored by double-digit points at home.
