Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Colorado Buffaloes: Game Updates, Live Score

BOULDER, Colo. – More than 52 years since they last met in Mountain Time, the Cincinnati Bearcats are at Folsom Field against the Colorado Buffaloes on Saturday night. It’s an 8:15 PM primetime kickoff for “Coach Prime” Deion Sanders’ Buffaloes fans, while Bearcats fans will see the game continue past midnight as it’s 10:15 PM in the Eastern Time Zone.

The match is crucial, with both teams sitting at 5-2 (3-1 Big 12). Both teams have quarterbacks on the Davey O’Brien Watch list: Shedeur Sanders leads Colorado’s aggressive aerial attack, while Brendan Sorsby leads the balanced, run-pass approach that coach Scott Satterfield has used. In his media remarks Tuesday, Buffaloes Coach Sanders said the UC offense was not “sexy.”

To start Saturday, the Cincinnati Bearcats were 6.5-point underdogs on the road against Colorado, according to DraftKings. With about an hour to go before the scheduled kickoff, the line has moved half a point in Cincinnati’s favor, making the Bearcats six-point underdogs. The point total has remained at 57 points.

What does the scouting report say about Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders?

One of the three keys to the game is limiting the signal caller who is among the best quarterbacks in completions, passing yards, touchdowns and more.

Cincinnati’s road trip to Colorado will be only the second meeting between the two schools.

Cincinnati visited No. 2 Colorado of the Big 8 Conference on September 16, 1972. Colorado won 56-14 before finishing 8-4 and losing to Auburn in the Gator Bowl. The Bearcats finished 2-9 after a 2-2 start to the season.

Here are five things to look for as the Bearcats hit the road to face Colorado in a primetime matchup against the Buffaloes, including a healthy Travis Hunter-ready play on offense and defense and the Bearcats rushing Corey Kiner and passing by Brendan Sorsby on the ball to balance. offensive game plan.

The Buffaloes with Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter are the No. 7 passing attack, while UC with Sorsby, Corey Kiner and Evan Pryor are the No. 52 rushing attack. The Bearcats’ overall offense is No. 24 in the country, averaging 451.4 yards per game, while the Buffaloes rank 64th with 398.6.

Cincinnati Bearcats vs. Colorado Buffaloes Predictions

In August, I picked Colorado to win in my season picks because I thought it would be a tough atmosphere. While I think the game is more winnable than originally expected, the Bearcats will have to shut out a potent passing attack after facing three top runners in a row (Tahj Brooks of Texas Tech, RJ Harvey of UCF and Cam Skattebo of Arizona State). The turnover would be a fluke if they were to get a win, making them eligible to bowl with four matches remaining. That said, I’ll stick with my original score with UC on the road in a different time zone.

Prediction: Colorado 30, Cincinnati 27

Cincinnati Bearcats linebacker Jared Bartlett is tied for the team lead in tackles with Antwan Peek Jr. He was bothered last week by Cam Skattebo’s second touchdown vs. Arizona State, but he is believed to be OK.

Also returning for Colorado is versatile Deion Sanders-like player Travis Hunter after sitting out parts of the last two games with a shoulder injury.

“Travis is better than last week,” Sanders said at his weekly news conference in Boulder. “I think he will be more productive because he feels much better than last week. You can just tell by his little giddy feeling and the way he goes through life with a little more pep in his step.
