In a game that turned into an all-around showcase for the Colorado Buffaloes, they steamrolled the Arizona Wildcats with a 34-7 victory in Tucson. Colorado capitalized on an early Arizona gamble by recovering a failed onside kick, which set them up for their first touchdown drive of the game. The Buffaloes struck quickly with Isaiah Augustave rushing for a 1-yard touchdown, opening the scoring with authority. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders led the Buffaloes with a commanding performance, executing both through the air with 250 passing yards and two touchdowns, and on the ground by adding a rushing score to his tally.
Despite Arizona's brief first-quarter response with a touchdown pass from Noah Fifita to Chris Hunter, the Wildcats couldn't contain the relentless pressure from Colorado's defense. Arizona's offense was suffocated, managing just 245 total yards and surrendering seven sacks. Key defensive plays, including an interception and two fumble recoveries, solidified Colorado's dominance. Shilo Sanders' notable defensive effort and LaJohntay Wester's offensive prowess contributed to one of Colorado's most complete games, culminating in field goals that secured the resounding win.
