Needing a win to secure bowl eligibility, head coach Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes will host the Cincinnati Bearcats on Saturday.

Like the Buffs, not many expected Cincinnati to be 5-2 at this point of the college football season. The Bearcats won only three games last year but have rebounded nicely under second-year head coach Scott Satterfield and starting quarterback Brendan Sorsby.

During his weekly presser on Tuesday, Coach Prime shared his respect for the Bearcats. Sanders commented on their offensive balance, steady approach and overall success in 2024.

“They’re playing really good football,” Coach Prime said. “If you match up statistically, we’re kind of right there with one another. Our defense may have the edge just a little bit. Offensively, they have a lot more balance with running and passing the football. I like what they’re doing. It’s not flashy, it’s not a sexy thing, but they get the job done. I love the way they attack, I love the way they get to the ball,  I love what they’re accomplishing this season.”

Kickoff between the Buffs and Bearcats is scheduled for 8:15 p.m. MT on ESPN.
