Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes are down to the final two games of the season with bowl eligibility on the line. They travel to Pullman on Friday night for a matchup with Washington State. One of the most evenly matched games on paper with two QBs leading their teams into similar situations. 

Colorado's Shedeur Sanders is currently fifth in FBS with 3,144 passing yards with 26 TDs and three INTs. In fact, he leads the nation with most completions (292) and attempts (420). He's also one of two quarterbacks with 400+ attempts in the top 10. The other is WSU's Cam Ward, who's one of the stealthiest dual-threats in college football. The Incarnate Word transfer has 3,127 passing yards with 26 total touchdowns. 

Colorado (4-6) lost a heartbreaker with a last-second field goal to No. 23 Arizona last week. It was the second week with Pat Shurmur assuming play-calling duties from co-offensive coordinator Sean Lewis. A more balanced attack with the same result. The Buffs look to pull off a victory after dropping four straight by an average of six points.

Washington State (4-6) started the season hot but are currently riding a six-game losing streak. They've lost the past two contests by three points each against Stanford and Cal. A rare Colorado trifecta on the schedule for the Cougars after notching wins over CSU and Northern Colorado in non-conference play.  

Colorado and Washington State meet for a Bowl eliminator in Pullman.
