This makes the Buffaloes a potent offense, as quarterback Shedeur Sanders has completed 70.2% of his passes for 999 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions.
Star Travis Hunter has caught 30 passes for 342 yards and five touchdowns, while receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. has 246 receiving yards and a score. Baylor will play on the road for the second time this season after losing to Utah by double digits two weeks ago. The Bears are winless in their last 10 games against Big 12 opponents.

Why Baylor can cover
Baylor bounced back nicely from its loss to Utah and won 31-3 over Air Force as a 17-point favorite. Sawyer Robertson came in as the starting quarterback in place of the injured Dequan Finn, completing 18 of 24 passes for 248 yards with a rushing touchdown. Head coach Dave Aranda has listed both quarterbacks as options on the depth chart for this game.
Aranda took over defensive-directing duties this season, and the Bears have allowed the fewest passing yards per game (75.7) in the country. Colorado tried to fix its offensive line issues in the offseason, but has already allowed seven sacks in three games.
