10 Oct
Summary
- Iowa State suffered first loss of season to Cincinnati last week
- Colorado has lost 2 games in a row, including to TCU
- Teams last met in 2010, with Colorado winning 34-14
On Saturday, the No. 21 Iowa State Cyclones (5-1, 2-1 Big 12) will travel to Boulder, Colorado, to take on the Colorado Buffaloes (2-4, 0-3) in a Big 12 conference clash. The Cyclones are looking to rebound after suffering their first loss of the season last week, falling 38-30 on the road to the Cincinnati Bearcats.
In that game, Iowa State allowed 260 rushing yards and 3 rushing touchdowns, a concerning defensive performance they'll look to improve upon against Colorado. The Buffaloes, meanwhile, have lost their last 2 games, including a 35-21 defeat to the TCU Horned Frogs last week. Colorado quarterback Kaidon Salter threw 3 interceptions in that loss, though he did manage to tie the game at 21-21 with his second touchdown pass before TCU pulled away.
This will be the first meeting between the two teams as members of the Big 12 conference. They last faced off in 2010, with Colorado winning 34-14 as a 1.5-point home underdog. The Cyclones will be determined to avenge that loss and get back on track, while the Buffaloes hope to pull off the upset on their home field.
