The Buffaloes will be eager to improve upon a performance last week in which they gained only 56 yards on the ground. They did manage to rush for a pair of touchdowns, however, as quarterback Shedeur Sanders scored on a 16-yard run and wide receiver found the end zone from 1 yard out on fourth-and-goal. Colorado should be able to do some damage against a Stanford defense that allowed Oregon to rack up 208 rushing yards last time out.
The club has a pair of solid backfield options in freshman Dylan Edwards and sophomore Anthony Hankerson. Edwards leads the Buffaloes with 217 yards on 47 carries, while Hankerson has rushed 48 times for 214 yards. Edwards also has been a major contributor in Colorado's aerial attack, making 20 catches for 193 yards and three touchdowns -- two more than he has on the ground. See which team to pick here.
