The Red Raiders enter Week 5 fresh off a 49-14 blowout of Sam Houston at home, improving to 1-0 in conference play. Colorado limps into the matchup on a two-game losing streak, most recently dropping a 23-13 decision to Baylor. The Buffaloes will look to slow down a Tech team that has yet to lose this season.
For Tech fans planning to watch, the trip to Boulder marks a real test against a Big 12 opponent trying to salvage its season. Ranked teams on the road against struggling conference rivals don't always have it easy, even when the numbers favor the visitors. Whether the offense that rolled up 49 points against Sam Houston can keep producing away from home is the question fans will be watching closely.
Colorado enters desperate for a win, and desperate teams at home can be dangerous no matter what the records say.
