Colorado returns to Folsom Field on Halloween to face Kansas State, with kickoff set for noon Mountain Time on TNT. The Buffaloes are trying to end a five-game losing streak; Kansas State is coming off a loss of its own and has lost both of its Big 12 road games. Colorado’s offense showed signs of life in its latest loss, but the Wildcats have won the teams’ last two meetings.

By the Numbers
  • Colorado: 2-5 overall, 0-4 in Big 12 play; Kansas State: 4-3 overall, 1-3 in the Big 12.
  • Colorado leads the all-time series 45-22-1 and is 28-6 at home; this is the teams’ 69th meeting.
  • Against Oklahoma State, Colorado recorded season highs of 24 points, 399 total yards and 343 passing yards.
  • Joseph Williams had 135 receiving yards; DeAndre Moore Jr. added 106, marking the third game this season with two Colorado 100-yard receivers.
Yes, But

Colorado’s improved offensive production came in a 57-24 loss: after taking a 24-23 halftime lead, the Buffs gave up the game’s final 37 points. Kansas State has dropped two straight games against Colorado, but both wins came in the teams’ most recent meetings.

State of Play
  • Colorado is back at Folsom Field, where it has historically had the edge in this series.
  • Both teams are seeking a rebound after losses last week, and Kansas State has struggled on the road in conference play.
  • Kickoff is noon Mountain Time on TNT; the game will also air on the Colorado Football Radio Network and SiriusXM.
What’s Next

Colorado needs to turn its first-half offensive momentum into a complete game to snap its skid. Kansas State will try to reverse its road struggles and extend its recent run of success against the Buffs.

Bottom Line

Colorado has home-field history and encouraging offensive numbers on its side, but stopping Kansas State—and sustaining its own production after halftime—will decide whether the Buffs can change their season’s direction.
