Buffs remarkable win against Arizona
The Colorado Buffs bounced back with a much-needed win after last week’s blowout against Kansas State, performing impressively against Arizona this week. Every player was in their best form. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders threw for 250 yards with three touchdowns, and the Buffs defense was one of the major reasons to hold Arizona under a single digit. Even Buffs safety player Shilo Sanders, who was very disappointed after his gameplay last week, was also on fire today. Shilo’s four tackles and breakup were instrumental in Colorado’s success in limiting Arizona Wildcats star quarterback Noah Fifita to 134 yards below his average passing.
