Coach Prime and the Buffs head into the bye week building momentum in the Big 12
, improving their season record to 4-1 overall and 2-0 in Big 12 play, after an unexpected and decisive win as 14.5-point underdogs. Their 27-point win marks the largest margin of victory for the program when entering a game as at least a 14-point underdog, breaking the previous record from 1974, when they beat Oklahoma State by 13 points.
Colorado’s defense played just as crucial a role, particularly against UCF’s rushing attack, which had been one of the best in the country leading into the game. The Knights were held to just 177 rushing yards, significantly below their season average. UCF’s quarterback, KJ Jefferson, struggled to handle Colorado’s aggressive defense, which sacked him five times and forced him into multiple difficult situations.
A key part of Colorado’s defensive game plan was to make UCF one-dimensional, forcing them to rely on their passing game more than they preferred. This strategy worked, as Colorado’s offense kept up with UCF’s scoring while limiting their ability to run the ball effectively. The defensive game plan, combined with a solid offensive output, pushed UCF out of their comfort zone and forced them to throw the ball more than usual.
