Key things to know for Colorado vs. Kansas State
These teams are in the same conference again, and the Wildcats return to Boulder for the first time since 2010. It's also the first of crucial back-to-back road games for a K-State team trying to keep pace in a wide-open Big 12.
The Buffaloes' biggest issue will be controlling the formidable 1-2 punch of QB Avery Johnson and RB DJ Giddens. Johnson is one of the nation's top running quarterbacks and averages 7.3 yards per carry, and Giddens is running for 121 yards per game.
Shedeur Sanders had an open date to rest his body after having been sacked 18 times through five games and will go against a K-State defense prone to giving up big pass plays.
