Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes took care of business on Saturday afternoon with a 49-24 victory over the Utah Utes.
This win for Colorado pushes the Kansas State Wildcats just two Buffalo triumphs away from Big 12 title contention. K-State cannot catch the undefeated BYU Cougars, leaving them to chase Sanders and company. Colorado is favored in both of their remaining matchups against Kansas and Oklahoma State.Colorado's win over the Utes appeared sealed with a 21-9 halftime lead before a bit of a second-half surge had Utah driving with a chance to bring the score within three points.
Two-way standout and Heisman favorite Travis Hunter performed at his usual level, highlighted by an impressive catch on fourth down. He finished with five receptions for 55 yards. Meanwhile, quarterback Shedeur Sanders recorded 340 passing yards, three touchdowns, and an interception. He relied heavily on the trio of wide receivers Drelon Miller, LaJohntay Wester, and Will Sheppard, who combined for 21 catches, 256 yards, and four touchdowns.
