Location: Boulder, Colo.

Enrollment: 27,624

Mascot: Buffaloes


ADVERTISEMENT


Conference: Big 12 North

Record: 2-2

Last game: The Buffs rolled to a 42-0 win over Miami (Ohio), easily their best performance of the season. Colorado finished with 634 yards of total offense. Through the first three games, it had 813 total yards.

Best player: Linebacker Jordan Dizon has a team-high 55.5 tackles, an average of nearly 14 stops per game. He also has two quarterback sacks.

Why they could win: Freshman quarterback Cody Hawkins has the confidence of the offense riding high after Saturday's performance. And though the Sooners were on the road at Tulsa last week, the visit to Folsom Field will be a far more adverse environment.

Why they could lose: Prior to running all over Miami of Ohio, the Buffs were averaging fewer than 45 rushing yards per game. One-dimensional offenses often struggle mightily against the Sooners.

Noteworthy: Though it is a primary color in the Buffaloes' uniforms for all sports, black is not an official school color. Those are silver and gold.
