Colorado Buffaloes vs UCF Knights What to Watch:
The Colorado Buffaloes (3-1) aim to win their third straight game when they hit the road to take on the UCF Knights (3-0) on Saturday. The Buffs are halfway to bowl eligibility in their second season under head coach Deion Sanders. In Week 4, CU beat Baylor 38-31 in overtime. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders completed a Hail Mary pass to tie the game as time expired, and Heisman Trophy candidate Travis Hunter forced a fumble at the goal line in overtime to seal the win. UCF is coming off a bye in Week 4, and will have had two weeks to prepare for Coach Prime and the Buffs. In their last outing, UCF defeated TCU 35-34.
With an average of 375.7 rush yards per game, the Knights are the nation's best rushing squad.
In Orlando, kickoff is set at 3:30 p.m. ET. According to the most recent Colorado vs. UCF odds, the Knights are currently 13.5-point favorites after opening at -11.
With sporadic storms predicted for the afternoon, the weather may have a role in this match. The Knights' ability to run the football will give them a big advantage if there is rain and wind. With an average of 375.7 yards per game on the ground, UCF boasts the nation's best rushing assault.
Colorado's defense, which has allowed 150.8 running yards per game this season, is mediocre at stopping the run. RJ Harvey, a running back for UCF, has been excellent in all three games. The senior has carried 59 times for 448 yards (7.6 yards per carry) and eight touchdowns.
One of college football's most explosive offenses is that of the Buffs. With an average of 335.0 passing yards per game this season, CU, led by senior quarterback Shedeur Sanders, is ranked fifth in the nation. Sanders has 1,340 yards, 11 touchdowns, and two interceptions on 67.9% of his passes. In addition, he has one running touchdown.
Travis Hunter, Colorado's two-way star, is the ultimate X-factor as well. In addition to his 14 tackles, one forced fumble, and one interception as a defensive back, the former five-star recruit has 37 wide receiver catches for 472 yards and five touchdowns (all team highs). For the duration of the game on Saturday, the Knights will need to be aware of Hunter's position on the field.
