Colorado Buffaloes is ready to nail another great week in college football against Kansas State this Saturday with Coach Prime being on the watch, as usual. There are very few days where Deion Sanders doesn’t sneak in a regular CFB discussion, whether as a joke or as a pressing pre or post-game entity. After sailing through a strong 4-1 record coming off a quite idle week, the Buffs will have a chance to prove if those glaring back-to-back victories were just a scheduling fluke or have some real depth. A big-12 win in Boulder against the Wildcats will also take the Buffs forward in their bowl eligibility target for the first time since 2020.
On the flip hand, Chris Klieman led the squad but failed to deliver against BYU in Provo and will look to even that score after a bye week. Heck, the clash will be lit with typical October weather pulling the wires behind.
Will the weather impact the Colorado-Kansas State clash?

The much-anticipated match-up will emanate from Folsom Field, particularly marked for a highly psyched-up fanbase. So, a loud, jubilant cheer can be expected from all corners of the arena, rallying behind the respective favorite teams. But before you bulk up and head to join the crowd in a thrilling nighttime watch, you should be aware of another key significator of the game, the weather condition.
October in Boulder can be as moody as a whimsical sweet sixteen. So, it will be a tough call to predict the exact direction of the nature on 12th of the month. But, potential rain or cold temperatures are the things we would specifically be bothered by. Also, the turns and twists in weather will big-time impact the game plan and strategy of both the programs, resulting in slight to major changes in the outcome. As per an early weather report, the temperature will be around 26 degrees Celsius when the game kicks in.

“There’s a lot of concerns that we have, obviously. On the offensive side, I think (Shedeur) Sanders will be the first quarterback picked off the board. He should be. In the film that I’ve seen of a lot of the top guys, I think he’s an excellent thrower. You can’t really confuse him. I’ve seen a lot of different teams try to manipulate coverage and disguise and he does a really good job pre-snap to post-snap. He can make all the throws and has a lot of guys to throw the football to,” said Chris Klieman, not taking the Sanders’ boys casually even a bit. He’s also chalking a way to run the football amidst an aggressive defense that’s expected from a team as class as Colorado.

The veteran coach was full of praise for Deion Sanders and his best boy, Travis Hunter. While it’s never an exaggeration that seeing the duo on the field is a treat for classic football fans, the question about a shaking offensive line that has only been tested against top-40 SP+ defense so far still persists.
