This 2023 season, the Colorado Buffaloes football team is slated to engage in a total of 12 games, evenly split between their home turf and away matches. Their schedule features six home games, where they will face off against formidable opponents like Nebraska, Colorado State, USC, Stanford, Oregon State, and Arizona. Meanwhile, on the road, they will be clashing with teams such as TCU, Oregon, Arizona State, UCLA, Washington State, and Utah.

Adding to the anticipation is the impressive performance of Shedeur Sanders, son of Deion Sanders, who stands out as a dynamic quarterback. Shedeur’s excellence on the field has been evident during his initial two college seasons at Jackson State, where his exceptional talents guided the team to an impressive 23-3 record. Alongside other talents like Travis Hunter, Colorado boasts a strong transfer class, igniting hopes of having standout players who could make a significant impact in key positions. However, Colorado’s recent track record has raised some doubts, as they only secured one victory out of eleven matches last year.
