The Colorado Buffaloes (3-4, 1-4 Big 12) snapped their five-game losing streak last week, beating Kansas State in overtime, and now set their sights on another conference win against Arizona State (4-4, 2-3 Big 12) in Tempe.

Colorado's biggest task against the Sun Devils is slowing down the offensive duo of running back Cardae Mack and wide receiver Reed Harris, the Big 12's leading receiver. To do that, it all starts with generating pressure on freshman quarterback Jake Fette, especially against an ASU offensive line that has allowed the most sacks (25) in the Big 12 this season.

Offensively, Isaac Wilson must play turnover-free football as he did against Kansas State, and the Buffs need its running game to be a major factor.

With a win, Colorado

would have a fairly manageable path to a bowl game, needing to win two of its final three games. However, an embarrassing loss, as we saw during the five-game skid, and questions about program leadership will resurface.
