But Howard argued that the Buffaloes may have found their stride in a win over rival Colorado State in Week 3. "I’ll tell you what, earlier in the season, obviously with that road trip against Nebraska, they didn’t look good,” Howard added. “And I think a lot of people just kind of wrote them off, like, ‘Colorado’s going to be terrible.’ But I think they found something after that when they went to Colorado State,&nbsp;played their in-state rival, and handled them convincingly.” This Saturday, Colorado will look for its fourth win of the season in another Big 12 league game against UCF. A victory would allow the Buffaloes to match their 2023 win total with seven games still to play. <a href="https://thespun.com/college-football/shedeur-sanders-taunts-critics-after-dramatic-win-vs-baylor" rel="nofollow"> Related: Shedeur Sanders Taunts Critics After Dramatic Win vs. Baylor </a></div></body>
