The Colorado Buffaloes are looking to get back into the winning category in Week 6. After starting off on fire, the team has lost 2 straight against 2 of the toughest teams in the nation.
However, reinforcements may be on the way for the Week 6 matchup against Arizona State.

Shilo Sanders, Myles Slusher, and Carter Stoutmire will all be welcomed additions to the Buffaloes’ secondary that has been gashed this season. The Buffaloes sport the No. 126 pass defense in the nation and have struggled to stop anybody through the air.
However, the loss of tackle Savion Washington for the Arizona State game will not be a positive. The Colorado offensive line has struggled mightily this season, allowing 5.2 sacks per game. Only Old Dominion’s offensive line are allowing more sacks per game than Colorado.
The Arizona State Sun Devils are just 1-4, but they do average just under 3 sacks per game. Protecting Shedeur Sanders will be the key this week. We know the Colorado offense can score points, and the Sun Devils are just No. 126 in scoring offense.
These conference rivals will kick off at 6:30 Eastern.
