Colorado’s Long-Awaited Victory
The Colorado Buffaloes football program has experienced a dry spell in the Big 12. A much-needed overtime victory against Kansas State brought relief and excitement among Boulder fans. The win marked Colorado’s first conference triumph since October 2025, ending a five-game losing streak.
Game Highlights
Entering the game with a 2-5 record, Colorado found themselves at the bottom of the Big 12 standings. The match was tense, tied at 21 by the end of the fourth quarter. Kansas State managed a field goal in overtime, briefly leading by three points. On a critical third-and-9, quarterback Isaac Wilson executed a successful RPO, connecting with tight end Charlie Williams for an 11-yard touchdown—the game’s decisive play.
The touchdown sent Colorado fans into a frenzy at Folsom Field. Wearing Halloween costumes, they stormed the field, celebrating the thrilling victory.
Coaching Challenges
Despite achieving last season’s win total, coach Deion Sanders remains under scrutiny. With four games left, the Buffaloes must win three to reach bowl eligibility, posing a significant challenge with Sanders’ future possibly on the line. Since the departure of key players like Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter to the NFL, Colorado has grappled with restoring its former glory.
Upcoming Fixtures
The Buffaloes aim to sustain their momentum against Arizona State next week, followed by matches against Houston, Cincinnati, and UCF. Kansas State faces internal struggles within conference play, recording a 1-4 Big 12 performance.
