Colorado Buffs Defeat Cincinnati 34-23

The University of Cincinnati Bearcats fell to the Colorado Buffaloes 34-23, marking a missed opportunity for bowl eligibility as they need at least one win in their final four games. The game featured a significant momentum shift with Colorado scoring 17 unanswered points, largely thanks to Shedeur Sanders' impressive performance, which included two touchdown passes and a rushing score. The Buffaloes improved to 6-2 on the season, clinching bowl eligibility for the first time since 2016, and moved into the Top 25 rankings. Isaiah Augustave's strong running game contributed to the victory, as he gained 91 yards, while Travis Hunter showcased his dual-threat capability with nine catches for 153 yards. Coach Deion Sanders expressed determination to secure a good bowl game for superfan Peggy Coppom, who is nearing her 100th birthday. The Bearcats, struggling with pre-halftime errors, remain in search of a crucial victory to improve their postseason prospects.
