BOULDER — In their first eight games this season, the Colorado Buffaloes have seen their fair share of high-powered offenses and game-changing quarterbacks, ranging from TCU and Max Duggan to UCLA and Dorian Thompson-Robinson.
But Saturday's matchup against Oregon and quarterback Bo Nix at Folsom Field (1:30 p.m., ESPN) might be the most difficult challenge yet for the Buffs defense.
After a horrendous start to the season — a 49-3 loss to Georgia — the Ducks (7-1 overall, 5-0 Pac-12) and Nix have rebounded in a big way, rolling to seven straight wins while scoring at least 41 points in every game along the way.
