KEY GAME The Buffaloes started their ground game with a win at Central Florida, rushing for a season-best 128 yards. Dallan Hayden and Micah Welch each had a rushing touchdown. Colorado faces a Kansas State defense this season that features nine players with 15 or more tackles. Leading the way is linebacker Austin Romaine with 34.
