BOULDER, Colo. — University of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders addressed the media Tuesday following a miraculous overtime win over Baylor last Saturday.
The Colorado Buffaloes are preparing to face the UCF Knights on Saturday afternoon.
Immediately after the Buffs' incredible win over Baylor, which included a last-second Hail Mary pass and a Travis Hunter-forced fumble in overtime, the Big 12 Conference announced Colorado's next game will also be on national TV.
The Big 12 said CU's next game, at Central Florida on Saturday, will kick off at 1:30 p.m. MT and will be televised nationally on FOX. The game is Colorado's fifth in five games to start the season that will be broadcast nationally.
With five games selected for network television this season for the Buffaloes, the program matched the total from 2023, which is the most in a season in program history.
FOX announced that "Big Noon Kickoff," its Saturday morning college football pregame show, will air live from Orlando for the Colorado-Central Florida game.
