The two teams have suffered two consecutive losses, with the most recent game decided by one point. It’s still a packed stadium in Tempe when Colorado visits Arizona State on Saturday.
After a second half explosion, Buffalo narrowly lost to USC, but time ran out and they fell behind. They are playing without star two-way player Travis Hunter, who is recovering from a torn liver he suffered in the Colorado State game. It’s been a disappointing few weeks for Colorado. After a 3-0 start, they are now 0-2 in conference play.
Even though the hype has slowed down, the Scalpers still have some pros for the rest of the season. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders once again performed well, passing for 371 yards, four touchdowns and only one interception. He also had a 50-yard rushing touchdown. Freshman receiver Omarion Miller rushed for 196 yards and a touchdown. In his first game, he made a big impact on the field, giving Colorado momentum and even some confidence despite the loss.

The Sun Devils could definitely use some confidence in their quarterback room, though it’s mostly health. Four quarterbacks are out with back-to-back injuries. Trenton Bulger started last week and will likely start this time around. Drew Pyne, who started two weeks ago, is listed as doubtful and freshman Jaden Rashada will be out until November.
Regardless, Cam Scatebo will be the guy Colorado needs to stop. He will put up huge numbers no matter where he is on the field, so he will be a good and necessary test for the Buffs defense. He was crucial for Arizona State (1-4) to avoid its worst six-game start in the modern era.
