There is a surprisingly huge battle in the PAC-12 when the Colorado Buffaloes head to the Pacific Northwest to take on the Oregon Ducks. Colorado comes into this game ranked 19th with a 3-0 record. This game will go a long way in proving the Buffs are for real or the first three games were a by-product of playing bad teams. They are coming off a 43-35 double-overtime win over Colorado State. Shedeur Sanders has thrown for 1,251 yards with 10 touchdowns and an interception. The defense needs to get better as they have allowed 91 points in three games. They will also be without two-way player Travis Hunter. Oregon comes in as the 10th-ranked team in the country. Bo Nix has remade himself in Oregon and has thrown for 893 yards with 8 interceptions and zero touchdowns. The Ducks have allowed just 47 points over the three contests. Colorado's offense has been explosive to start the season but I also think that was a product of who they played and now they will be facing a very good defense. The Colorado defense has been torched by teams that you would not say are on the same level as Oregon. Oregon has experienced defensive players in the secondary that will give Colorado more trouble than Colorado State did. The bloom comes off the Buffalo rose in this one. but they keep it close

Play on Colorado. This is a free play.
