    ORLANDO, Fla. – Deion Sanders and the Colorado football team are big underdogs.

    UCF hosts Colorado in a Big 12 matchup, and the Buffaloes are coming off a wild overtime win against Baylor last week.

    Follow here for live updates from Bounce House.

    For the fourth straight week, Colorado receiver LaJohntay Wester caught a touchdown pass.

    His 10-yard score brought the Buffs back to 20 points.

    Colorado 41, UCF 21. 1:32 remaining in the third quarter.

    UCF quarterback KJ Jefferson threw a 15-yard touchdown to Xavier Townsend.

    Those seven points are the most Colorado has given up in the second half of the game this season.

    Colorado 34, UCF 21. 5:18 remaining in the third quarter.

    UCF quarterback KJ Jefferson was intercepted again, this time by Travis Hunter.

    The Heisman hopeful adds another highlight to his role.

    Colorado 34, UCF 14. 7:53 remaining in the third quarter.

    A 32-yard completion from Shedeur Sanders to Will Sheppard set up a one-yard touchdown run from Micah Welch.

    The buffs are in complete control.

    Colorado 34, UCF 14. 9:11 remaining in the third quarter.

    UCF was unable to make the most of its first possession early in the second half.

    A 55-yard field goal attempt was missed wide left and the Buffs will take the lead and look to extend their lead.

    Colorado 27, UCF 14. 10:03 remaining in the third quarter.

    Colorado 21, UCF 7. 12:21 left in the first half.

    It’s been a relatively quiet season for Will Sheppard.

    However, the Vanderbilt transfer made his mark on this game, hauling in a 43-yard touchdown pass from Shedeur Sanders.

    Colorado 14, UCF 7. Late first quarter.

    – Scott Procter

    UCF needed just one play to respond to Colorado’s first touchdown of the day.

    Colorado 7, UCF 7. 3:38 left in the first quarter.

    Colorado capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive with a 23-yard touchdown pass from Shedeur Sanders to Travis Hunter.

    Freshman running back Micah Welch was the catalyst for this drive, rushing for 27 yards.

    Colorado 7, UCF 0. 3:49 remaining in the first quarter.

    – Scott Procter

    UCF was unable to take advantage of a Shedeur Sanders turnover.

    KJ Jefferson was intercepted in the end zone by Colorado’s Preston Hodge.

    The Buffs will take over at their own 20 yard line.

    – Scott Procter

    It was a disastrous opening drive for Colorado’s offense.

    Right guard Kareem Harden was called for a fall on the Buffs’ first offensive play of the day. The next play was a screen that went for -1 yards. Shedeur Sanders was intercepted on UCF’s 3rd down.

    Another ugly start for the Buffs.

    Due to heavy rain and lightning in the area, kickoff of the Colorado-UCF game was delayed 35 minutes.

    The game is now scheduled to begin at 2:20 p.m. MT/4:20 p.m. ET.

    Many people might point to the fact that UCF leads the nation in rushing yards per game (375.7) as the reason the Knights have a two-touchdown advantage. What many may not know, however, is that Colorado’s run defense has improved significantly from last year.

    According to Pro Football Focus, the Buffs’ defense ranked 122nd in run defense last season. They sit in 15th place through four games of the 2024 season.

    And while a lot of attention is paid to the Colorado defense, not enough attention is given to the UCF defense, which allowed TCU quarterback Josh Hoover to throw for 402 yards and four touchdowns. One wonders what Shedeur Sanders might do against the Knights.

    Colorado wins 42-38.

    According to BetMGM’s college football odds as of Saturday morning, UCF is the 14-point favorite to win over Colorado.

    Colorado will have running back Dallan Hayden (high ankle sprain) and starting defensive lineman Chidozie Nwankwo (AC joint) back on Saturday after both missed the past two weeks with injuries.

    Hayden, a transfer from Ohio State, led the Buffs in the offense before being sidelined. Nwankwo, a Houston transfer, plays a key role in the Buffs’ run defense and recorded a sack in the season-opening win over North Dakota State.

    Deion Sanders said this week that starting safety Shilo Sanders is “on track to return,” but his status for Saturday is unclear.

    “I’m not going to count out this week (against UCF),” Deion Sanders said of Shilo on Tuesday. “I’m not going to discount that, but if he holds out this week he’ll have another two weeks, which is pretty smart.”
