The Buffaloes’ 2023 football campaign is officially in the books. Colorado and Coach Prime made their way to Salt Lake City on Saturday to close out their season, where the Utes bested the Buffs by a score of 23-17. Colorado hung in the whole game against Utah without their star quarterback Shedeur Sanders, but just ultimately couldn’t get the job done.

Saturday’s game was a battle of two injured football teams. Colorado was forced to play without Shedeur Sanders due to injury and Xavier Weaver, who was unable to play due to having the flu. Meanwhile, Utah is the most injured team in the entire country and was forced to roll out their fifth string quarterback Luke Bottari just to have someone under center.
