Colorado Buffs (7-2) are second in the Big 12 standings going into this Saturday’s game against the Utah Utes (4-5). Colorado is currently 11.5-point favorites, but that’s not to say we can start taking it easy. The Buffs are so close to making it into the Big 12 championship, and hopefully, their momentum will continue this weekend while Utah starts to run out. ( I’ll be back after the game to report some more… Hope to see you there!)
