Unlike last week, there seems to be mutual respect between the Colorado Buffaloes and their upcoming opponent, Baylor.
Bears head coach Dave Aranda shared some kind words about the Buffs on Monday, and Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders returned the favor during his weekly press conference the following day. Coach Prime was quick to praise Baylor’s discipline, which helped the Bears close their nonconference slate at 2-1.
Coach Aranda has done a great job of having his team disciplined,” Sanders said. “In the things they do well, they really do well. We got to, first of all, stop the run. I don’t know which quarterback they’re gonna feature this week, but we’re preparing for both quarterbacks. They have athletes, they’re physical, they’re strong. They don’t make a lot of mistakes.”
Regarding Baylor’s quarterback situation, Week 1 starter Dequan Finn is currently considered day-to-day with a shoulder injury, forcing the Buffs to plan for both Finn and backup Sawyer Robertson.
Baylor did lose three fumbles in its 31-3 Week 3 win over Air Force, but the Bears’ defense held the Falcons to only 218 total yards of offense.
Colorado is set to host Baylor on Saturday at 6 p.m. MT (Fox).
