Week 9 Matchups to Watch: Beaver Pass Defense Gets a Test

The hype train has slowed on the Colorado Buffalos since their 3-0 start, and they are currently tied for 8th in the Pac-12 with a 1-4 record. Deon Sanders and Sons are capable of going toe-to-toe with any offense in the country with an explosive vertical passing game, but the lack of a run game to turn to and a defense that allowed 46 points to Stanford means that if the Beavers can limit explosive plays, they will be well positioned to take home a road win in Boulder.

Beavers on Offense

Colorado’s defense is 126th of 133 teams in success rate allowed, and 131st of 133 in explosiveness.
