After a brutal loss against Kansas State, the Buffs need to bounce back this week. They will get a chance to do that and avenge one of their close losses from last season when they take on old Pac-12 foe Arizona.
Colorado can take a lot from the loss to Kansas State in Boulder, as its offense figured things out in the second half and mounted another fourth quarter comeback. The Buffs will have a chance to carry that momentum into this game against an Arizona team that is extremely banged up in the secondary.
Brent Brennan’s group is looking to rebound after two consecutive losses against two of the Big 12’s best teams, Texas Tech and BYU, and stay on track for a bowl game.
Let’s check out some of the challenges that Arizona will bring to the table on Saturday.
