No. 18 Colorado defeated Utah 49-24, extending their winning streak to four games and boosting their Big 12 title and College Football Playoff aspirations. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders rebounded from a shaky start to throw for 340 yards and three touchdowns, while Travis Hunter made significant contributions on both offense and defense, including his first career rushing touchdown and an interception. Despite a strong start by Utah, who led early 3-0 after an interception by Lander Barton, they struggled offensively, with quarterback Isaac Wilson failing to generate momentum. Colorado's defense forced three turnovers, including two interceptions, while their special teams contributed a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown. Sanders' performance brought him within one touchdown pass of matching the school record, showcasing his ability to overcome early mistakes. The Utes dropped their sixth consecutive game, continuing to struggle with their offensive production.
