PICKING Colorado at UCF | Deion Sanders, Buffaloes traveling to Orlando to face Gus Malzahn, Knights

My concern is stopping Colorado. Their receivers find open space and can score really fast. We will run the ball with success but that takes time and be very difficult to keep up in a shootout. Thoughts?
 
I expect a high scoring game with a ton of highlight plays on both sides. Vegas giving UCF 14 points is rat poison....I think this comes down to a last second field goal with UCF controlling the clock in the 4th and barely holding on to a lead to win.

Colorado's kicker Jace feely is injured with torn ACL. Don't know if backup is any good.

It's an interesting matchup. A lot of eyeballs on UCF this week and Saturday.
 
"Shilo is on pace to be back," Deion Sanders said. "I'm not going to count out this week (vs. UCF). I'm not going to count that out but if he holds off this week, that'll give him two more weeks which is pretty smart."

Shilo could either return to the lineup this week vs. UCF or after the Buffs' Week 6 bye (CU's next game after UCF is home Oct. 12 against Kansas State).

Deion Sanders also confirmed on Tuesday that a pair of key contributors will definitely be back for the UCF game.

Starting defensive lineman Chidozie Nwankwo will play on Saturday after missing the last two games with an AC joint injury. The Houston transfer is pivotal to the Buffs' run defense and notched a sack in the season-opening win over North Dakota State.

Colorado will also have running back Dallan Hayden available after he missed the last two weeks with a high-ankle sprain. The Ohio State transfer was the Buffs' leading rusher before being sidelined.
