Shedeur Sanders led the Colorado Buffaloes to a 48-21 blowout victory over UCF on Saturday. Sanders threw for 290 yards and three touchdowns, while Travis Hunter contributed a touchdown catch and an interception. The Buffaloes' defense also played a crucial role, forcing four turnovers and slowing down UCF's high-powered offense. This win marks Colorado's fourth victory of the season, surpassing their win total from last year.
While Colorado celebrated a dominant performance, UCF was left to reflect on a disappointing loss. KJ Jefferson threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns for the Knights, but their defense struggled to contain Sanders and the Buffaloes' offense. This loss highlights the need for UCF to improve their secondary and overall defensive performance moving forward.
Colorado's victory solidifies their status as a rising program under coach Deion Sanders. With Sanders at the helm and a talented roster, the Buffaloes are poised to continue their upward trajectory and make a significant impact in the Big 12 conference.
