Colorado's Week 9 kickoff time against Kansas State is set. Head coach Deion Sanders and his program will host Kansas State on Halloween (Oct. 31) at noon MT. The game will air on TNT and truTV and be simulcast on HBO Max.
The kickoff will be the earliest kickoff time at Folsom Field since the 2024 home finale against Oklahoma State. Buff Fans will have to compare the early kickoff with ample time for trick-or-treating and Halloween festivities.
Kansas State (4-2, 1-2 Big 12) will visit Arizona State this week. The Wildcats beat rival Kansas this past weekend to get their first conference win.
The Wildcats have beaten the Buffs in both matchups since Colorado rejoined the Big 12. Colorado must find a way to contain dynamic quarterback Avery Johnson,
an elite dual-threat player ranked in the Big 12's top 10 in both passing and rushing yards.
Depending on how the Buffaloes play in Week 8 against Oklahoma State, Colorado could even be favored against the Wildcats. CU needs to start stacking wins if it wants any chance of reaching six wins and bowl eligibility.
