Get ready for an exciting football matchup this Friday at Folsom Field in Boulder as the Colorado Buffaloes take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys. The game is set to start at 10 a.m. MT and will be broadcasted on ABC. For those unable to watch, tune in to KOA radio to catch the action.
The Buffaloes are heading into the game with a 26-20-1 series lead against the Cowboys. With a capacity of 50,183, Folsom Field is sure to be packed with enthusiastic fans cheering on their team. According to the odds, Colorado is favored to win by 16.5 points.
This will be a bittersweet game for senior punter Mark Vassett, who will be playing his final game at Folsom Field. Vassett, who joined the team under head coach Deion Sanders just two years ago, expressed his love for being a Buffalo and his excitement for one last win on their home field.
It's not just Vassett who will be saying goodbye to Folsom Field, as about two dozen seniors and junior standout Travis Hunter will also be playing their final home game. Despite only being with the team for a short time, this group has been warmly welcomed by CU fans and has had a major impact on the program's success.
Led by quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Hunter, this group has turned the team around from their dismal 1-11 record in 2022. With an 8-3 record so far this season, the Buffaloes still have a chance to make it to the Big 12 title game, and at the very least, secure a spot in a prestigious bowl game in December.
The senior group includes other influential players such as safeties Shilo Sanders and Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig, cornerback Preston Hodge, and several others who have helped transform the team's defense. On the offensive side, the dynamic receivers Jimmy Horn Jr., Will Sheppard, and LaJohntay Wester have been a force to be reckoned with, along with the fan favorite offensive linemen Tyler Brown and Justin Mayers.
Coach Prime expressed his pride in the seniors and their accomplishments, but also emphasized the importance of preparing them for life after football. For many, this will be the end of their football careers, while for others like Shedeur and Hunter, it's just the beginning of their professional careers.
Regardless of their future plans, the team's goal is to finish strong and give the fans one last victory at Folsom Field. As Vassett puts it, they need to "finish" and leave everything on the field for their teammates and the fans who have supported them throughout their time at CU. So let's get ready to root for the Buffaloes and make this an unforgettable game at Folsom Field.
