The Buffaloes (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) are coming off a 31-28 barn burning loss to Kansas State and sit in a five-way tie for fourth place in the Big 12. That game left Colorado reeling with a slew of key injuries.
Travis Hunter exited the game against Kansas State but is expected to suit up against Arizona. The two-way savant has 49 receptions for 587 yards and six touchdowns on offense while also tallying 16 tackles, three interceptions and one forced fumble on the defensive side. He averages 124.4 snaps per game.
Colorado’s pass-heavy offense is guided by senior Shedeur Sanders, who has amassed 2,018 yards and 17 touchdowns with just four interceptions. Sanders, who is in consideration for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, has notched three touchdowns in back-to-back games and is completing 72.6% of his passes this season.
The Buffaloes throw the rock 61% of the time.
His cupboard is a bit bare as Jimmy Horn Jr and Omarion Miller suffered injuries against Kansas State. Horn could play but Miller is likely out indefinitely after undergoing surgery on his leg this week.
Seniors Will Sheppard and LaJohntay Wester are thrust into the spotlight. Sheppard has 22 receptions for 330 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 15 yards per reception. Wester has 26 receptions for 318 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 12.2 yards per reception.
After a strong performance against UCF, the Buffaloes run game reverted back to its inept performance through most of the season. They tallied -29 rushing yards, including -50 from Sanders, who was sacked six times. Colorado averages just 4.3 yards per carry and does not have a running back over 150 yards this season.
Though it has been beefed up considerably, Colorado’s offense line still has question marks. They have allowed the third-most sacks in the nation with 23.
Colorado’s passing defense will be tested, averaging 226 yards per game. With choppy quarterback play, Arizona has struggled at times this season, but can explode on a dime.
The Buffaloes have allowed 21 points or more in five of their six games.

The Wildcats (3-3, 1-2) were blasted by BYU, 41-19, last week as they have lost three of their last four games.
Arizona’s offensive production is predicated on the performance from the duo of sophomore quarterback Noah Fifita and junior receiver Tetairoa McMillan.
Fifita has tallied 1,636 yards with eight touchdowns and nine interceptions, including five picks in his last two games. Fifita threw for 214 yards and two touchdowns against Colorado last year.
One of the most prolific pass catchers in the game, McMillan has garnered 42 receptions for 742 yards and four touchdowns, averaging 17.7 yards per reception. All four of his touchdowns came in the season opener. He is third in the nation in receiving yards. Hunter is expected to grab the assignment against McMillan.
Senior receiver Montana Lemonious-Craig spent three years at Colorado. He has hauled in 17 receptions for 172 yards and one touchdown, averaging 10.1 yards per reception.
The Wildcats also have a potent back in senior Quali Conley, who has racked up 82 carries for 458 yards and six touchdowns. He has also snagged 22 receptions for 151 yards. The Wildcats have recorded just two games where a running back has rushed for over 100 yards.
Arizona’s defense has tallied 11 sacks this season, which is the same number as Colorado.
Arizona has won five of the last seven matchups against Colorado, including last year’s 34-31 victory in Boulder on a Tyler Loop Field goal as time expired.
With two high-powered offenses on tap, homecoming in Tucson is sure to have some fireworks for this year’s rendition.

Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders has an overall record of 16-21 since taking over in Boulder prior to the 2023 season.
Where does Coach Prime rank among Big 12 coaches entering the 2026 college football season?
Deion Sanders No.15 in Big 12 Coach Rankings
On3 ranked all 16 Big 12 head football coaches heading into 2026. Deion Sanders is ranked No.15, only ahead of Kansas State Wildcats coach Collin Klein. This will be Klein’s first year as Wildcats head coach. He is a former Kansas State quarterback was most recently the offensive coordinator for the Texas A&M Aggies.
A top this ranking at No. 1 is BYU Cougars coach Kalani Sitake. Sitake has been at the helm for the Cougars since 2016. He has accumulated an overall record of 84-45. In four of Sitake’s 10 seasons with BYU, he has led them to double digit wins.
Here is the entire ranking:
1. Kalani Sitake, BYU Cougars
2. Kenny Dillingham, Arizona State Wildcats
3. Joey McGuire, Texas Tech Red Raiders
4. Sonny Dykes, TCU Horned Frogs
5. Willie Fritz, Houston Cougars
6. Lance Leipold, Kansas Jayhawks
7. Rich Rodriguez, West Virginia Mountaineers
8. Eric Morris, Oklahoma State Cowboys
9. Brent Brennan, Arizona Wildcats
10. Dave Aranda, Baylor Bears
11. Scott Satterfield, Cincinatti Bearcats
12. Morgan Scalley, Utah Utes
13. Scott Frost, UCF Knights
14. Jimmy Rogers, Iowa State Cyclones
15. Deion Sanders, Colorado Buffaloes
16. Collin Klein, Kansas State Wildcats
Is 15th a fair ranking for Coach Prime?
What stands out right away from this is a first time collegiate head coach is ahead of Sanders, Morgan Scalley. While Sanders’ team struggled in 2025, it would be hard to rank him behind Scalley.
When Sanders was hired, the Buffaloes were coming off a one-win 2022 season. It was a controversial hire, as Sanders’ collegiate coaching experience came at the FCS level with Jackson State. The Coach Prime era in Boulder got off to a great start.
In 2023, Colorado began the season 3-0. It got going with a stunning season opening upset on the road against the defending national runner-up TCU Horned Frogs. The Buffs won their next two games against the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Colorado State Rams to get to 3-0.
They hosted ESPN’s College GameDay for their in-state rivalry game against Colorado State. The country had their eyes on what Sanders had cooking. This undefeated came to a screeching halt with a road loss to Oregon. Colorado ended up losing eight of their final nine games to end with a record of 4-8. While the end was dissapoitning, it was still three more wins than the previous season.
2024 a major turnaround. The Buffs went 9-3 and made the Alamo Bowl. Buffs’ wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter won the 2024 Heisman Trophy and quarterback Shedeur Sanders was named 2024 Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year.
2025 was more of what 2023 was. The Buffs went 3-9, missing a bowl game for the second time in three seasons. Will they get back to a bowl in 2026?

The ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) has filed a federal civil rights complaint with the US Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, alleging that Jewish Student A was subjected to repeated antisemitic bullying, slurs, and physical assault by multiple fellow students at Southern Hills Middle School (SHMS) throughout 7th and 8th grade.
In one incident, students in Student A’s PE class attempted to play a game called “Jew touch tag” and said Jews were “dirty” and “contaminated.”
In another, in December 2025, a classmate reportedly fashioned a Chromebook charging cord into a lasso, threw it around the student’s neck and dragged him backward from a chair while calling him a “stupid k***.” This was deemed severe enough that the Boulder Police Department was called in to investigate.
Following this particular incident, the Boulder Police Department opened a Juvenile Court Referral for third-degree assault.
ADL says no meaningful action taken by school district over assault
As a result of these incidents, Student A no longer wears a Star of David necklace and does not share his religious identity with anyone.
ADL and the family allege that the school took no meaningful action despite being informed of the situation on multiple occasions. For example, the complaint says the school failed to enforce the no-contact order between Student A and the classmate involved in the Chromebook assault.
The complaint also says that the burden was consistently placed on the victim, such as reassigning his study hall class rather than restricting the aggressor, forcing him to miss a school trip, and asking him to leave class early to avoid crowded hallways.
“The record here is overwhelming: written pleas from the student’s parents, formal school reports, and a police investigation all point to the conclusion that antisemitic harassment at Southern Hills Middle School was pervasive, escalating, and severe,” said James Pasch, ADL Vice President of Litigation.
“Despite the family’s pleas for help to stop the harassment, the school district failed to effectively address it, a clear violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act. No family should have to fight this hard to ensure a Jewish child’s safety at school, and certainly no Jewish student should face the threat of assault or harassment because of their Jewish identity.”
Susan Rona, ADL Mountain States Regional Director, noted that 167 antisemitic incidents were recorded in Colorado in 2025, a “stark reminder that antisemitism is not something abstract – it is showing up in our communities, in our neighborhoods and even in our schools.”
ADL is requesting that the US Department of Education require the district to take steps to comply with Title VI and ensure that this student and all Jewish students feel safe and protected.
Boulder Valley School District said that while it does not comment on ongoing legal matters, “we take all allegations of discrimination and harassment seriously.”
“We continue to focus on improvements to our policies, reporting systems, practices, and education efforts – all with the goal of ensuring every BVSD student feels safe, welcomed, and a strong sense of belonging.”
