With just two home games remaining, and one of them coming against nationally-ranked Oklahoma State, Saturday’s 1 p.m. contest at Memorial Stadium may just be the last chance for KU fans to see their Jayhawks pick up another victory at home.
Colorado enters Saturday’s game with a 3-5 record, including an 0-4 mark in the Big 12.
However, while the Jayhawks are busy licking their chops over CU’s trip to Lawrence, the Buffs are doing the same about their opportunity to play the struggling Jayhawks.
This game won’t grab headlines, isn’t on television and doesn’t mean much to the college football world.
But to these two programs, it means everything.
The following is a look at what the people in Colorado are saying about this week’s matchup between winless Big 12 teams, as well as an overview of the current state of the CU program.
