Colorado Looks to Finish Season Strong

Colorado is looking to finish the season strong and they are going to have Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter for this game. On November 29th, Colorado faced off against Oklahoma State and they were able to secure the 52-0 victory. Sanders had a huge game completing 34 of his 41 passes for 439 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception. This isn’t a team that runs a whole lot, and Welch was the top rusher finishing with 39 yards and a touchdown. LaJohntay Wester had a huge game out wide finishing with 11 catches for 175 yards and two touchdowns. Colorado on the season is averaging 34.5 points while their defense is giving up 22 points per game. The offense is ranked 21st while the defense is ranked 37th. 

Will BYU Be Motivated?

The big question for BYIU is how motivated they will be. For a while, BYU looked like the class of the Big 12, but they fell off late, and after missing out on the college football playoff, there have to be questions about motivation. In the last game against Houston, BYU scored 30 points and they ended up winning by 12 points. Jake Retlzaff completed 8 of his 19 passes for 167 yards. Chase Roberts finished with three catches for 76 yards. BYU is averaging 30.8 points while their defense is giving up 20.1 points per game. The offense is ranked 44th in the league while the defense is ranked 18th. On the season, Jake Retzlaff has thrown for 2796 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. 

BYU vs Colorado Prediction

Give me the over here. BYU is going to be very motivated heading into this game and they are going to have no issue running up the score here. BYU is averaging 30.8 points per game, and I expect they are going to reach their season average. Colorado playing Sanders and Hunter will also really help their offense, and they will have no issue against the BYU defense. Back the over to cash.
