The Colorado Buffaloes are back in Boulder this weekend, and the stakes are getting bigger. Deion Sanders and his team are eager to secure their first Big 12 victory of the season after they let another 14-point lead slip away against TCU last week. But this time, the challenge is real; they must defeat the No. 22 Iowa State Cyclones, who have just suffered the first loss of the season. CU will need to clean up turnovers, remain focused in the second half, and perhaps find a little magic in front of their home fans if they hope to avoid another devastating collapse.
Last Saturday, Iowa State fell 17-0 in the first quarter against Cincinnati, and they are eager to get back on track. The Cyclones are still focused on going back to Arlington for the conference championship game in December
