It hasn't been a desirable start to the 2025 season for Colorado (1-2). The Buffaloes opened the season with a loss to Georgia Tech before defeating Delaware in Week 2. They suffered their second loss of the season last week when they fell on the road to Houston.

Deion Sanders and his team return to Boulder this weekend with the hope of getting a win. The Buffaloes are heavily favored in the encounter, and it will be an opportunity to build some momentum.
Wyoming has only suffered a loss this season. The Cowboys are coming off a blowout loss to Utah after defeating Akron and Northern Iowa in the first two games. They will be aiming to stage an upset in Boulder on Saturday night.
The game is scheduled to kick off at Folsom Field at 10:15 p.m. ET. Here's look at the projected starting lineup of both teams.
