The Colorado Buffaloes, donning their new all-white uniforms, emerged victorious over the Colorado State Rams, 28-9, in what was described as an electrifying Rocky Mountain Showdown at Canvas Stadium. After trailing 3-0 in the first quarter, Colorado took the lead in the second quarter with quick strikes from Shedeur Sanders to LaJohntay Wester for two critical touchdowns. This marked Colorado's seventh consecutive win over Colorado State.
In the second half, Colorado's defense stepped up, forcing four turnovers and putting relentless pressure on the Rams' offense. Standout player Travis Hunter not only caught two touchdown passes from Sanders but also made a significant impact on defense with an interception.

Overall, Colorado's efficient offense and stifling defense dominated the game, solidifying a comprehensive win for Coach Prime’s squad.
