Heading into Saturday’s game in Boulder, Colorado needs a win to advance to the Pac-12 championship game. Utah will try and spoil the Buffs party in similar fashion to how Colorado upset Utah’s Pac-12 championship hopes back in 2011. Colorado brings a very balanced and experienced offensive unit into the game. Utah will need to stop both the run and pass to upset Colorado on Saturday.
Colorado doesn’t have an explosive offense, but they are very capable, ranking 5th in conference in total offense. The Buffs average 35.5 points per game on 478.3 yards of total offense per game.
