Stanford Football: How To Watch Stanford vs. Deion Sanders And Colorado
Stanford is fresh off of their much-needed bye-week and are looking to end what has turned into a four-game losing streak.
They will be heading to Boulder, Colorado to take on what can only be considered the most popular team in college football in the Colorado Buffaloes, led by Deion Sanders. The Buffaloes are a completely different team from last season's 1-11 squad, with a majority of the roster being made up of transfer portal players.
Led by Sanders' son Shedeur who stars at quarterback, Colorado is home to one of the best passing attacks in the country which could receive a boost from two-way star Travis Hunter who had missed the past three games due to a lacerated liver.
Similar to Sanders, Stanford's Troy Taylor is also in his first year as the head coach of a Pac-12 program, but unlike Sanders isn't able to just flip a roster via the transfer portal due to Stanford's rigorous academic requirements. The Cardinal, while they did bring in five transfers, will be fielding one of the least experienced rosters in the country as they replaced nine starters on offense, and eight on defense.
Their offense is struggling to find an identity due to their poor offensive line play, rotating door at quarterback, and inability to finish drives. Colorado's defense is one of the worst in the country statistically, which may allow the Cardinal to stay in the game longer than people expect.
Colorado is favored by 11.5 and according to ESPN's matchup predictor, have an 80% chance of winning the game.
