Colorado Buffaloes Suffer a Crushing Loss to Kansas Jayhawks
The Colorado Buffaloes suffered a significant setback in their playoff aspirations with a 37-21 loss to the Kansas Jayhawks at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday. This defeat marks Kansas’ third consecutive victory against ranked teams, an unprecedented feat for a team with a losing record, as they move to 5-6 for the season.
Kansas dominated the game early, jumping to a 17-0 lead in the second quarter, largely thanks to senior running back Devin Neal, who showcased an impressive performance with 207 rushing yards, 80 receiving yards, and four total touchdowns. The Jayhawks’ disciplined ball control stifled Colorado’s offense, limiting them to just 19:49 of possession compared to Kansas’ 33:49.
Despite Colorado’s two-way star, Travis Hunter, having an impactful game with eight receptions for 125 yards and two touchdowns, the Buffaloes were unable to recover from their early deficit. Colorado’s quarterback, Shedeur Sanders, also struggled with criticism for his on-field antics, including pushing a referee during the match.
This loss complicates Colorado’s chances of making the Big 12 Championship game and, consequently, the College Football Playoff. They entered the game ranked 16th in the playoff standings and needed a strong showing to bolster their position. The Buffaloes, now with an 8-3 record and tied for first in the Big 12, will face Oklahoma State in their regular-season finale, where a win is crucial to maintain any hope of a conference title.
Kansas, now surging with momentum from their remarkable three-game winning streak against ranked opponents, aims to finish strong as they prepare for their final matchup against Baylor next week.
