For an unranked team, CU sure does get a lot of television time!!! (Thank you ESPN, Fox and ABC!)

CU (4-3, 2-1) is a half game behind the Big XII North leader, Kansas (6-0, 2-0), but a win this weekend against the Jayhawks would put CU back in first place in the Big XII North Division!

CU suffered a tough loss against Kansas State last Saturday in Manhattan, falling 47-20 to the Wildcats. Statistically the game was evenly matched but CU had 4 turnovers which lead to points on the board for KSU. Some gutsy 4th down calls also lead to turnover on downs and a blocked punt which added 10 points for KSU. On a good note, Hugh Charles had a career best 171 yards as CU’s running game keeps improving behind a nearly all freshmen offensive line. Inside Linebacker, Jordan Dizon, continues to have a record breaking season by adding 11 more tackles to his resume, making him the 5th highest player in tackles (375) all-time for CU.

The Buffs are a 4 point underdog at home this weekend. This game against KU is critical as the Buffs, Kansas State, and Missouri all have one loss each. There are several different scenarios in the Big 12 North that will determine the divisional champion. It all depends on who beats who in the next 6 weeks. #25 KSU faces an Oklahoma State team that demolished Nebraska last weekend (bye bye coach Callahan…). #15 Missouri will be in a shootout with #22 Texas Tech. CU fans are rooting for the Big 12 South this weekend!

Saturday’s game will be televised on ESPN at 2:45 PM (pacific standard time) and will be on the big screen at Bayside Sports Bar at 2:45 PM sharp! http://baysidesportssf.com/
