In Colorado's last game, No. 18 Kansas State beat the Buffs 31-28 on Saturday night. An 8:25 p.m. kickoff, the game ended nearly at midnight Mountain time in Boulder.

The Buffaloes' (4-2, 2-1 Big 12) three-game winning streak came to a halt as the team lost cornerback and receiver Travis Hunter to injury, who appeared to hurt his shoulder catching a Shedeur Sanders’ pass and running into safety Daniel Cobbs in the second quarter.

The Big 12 Conference announced Monday that Colorado's next home game, against Cincinnati on Saturday, Oct. 26, will kick off at 8:15 p.m. Mountain time. The game will be televised nationally on ESPN.
