Hey, Colorado fans. Stop the countdown! The Big day has come. On Saturday, September 21, 2024, at 6 p.m. MT at Folsom Field, the Colorado Buffs and the Baylor Bears will play a Big 12 game. FOX will broadcast the matchup between these two rivalries. How are both teams doing at the beginning of week four? Have a look at their prior performance. 

After defeating in-state rival Colorado State, Colorado is jubilant, despite the fact that many have minimized the victory because of the Rams’ appalling performance. Not to forget, in the Rocky Mountain Showdown, the Colorado Buffs defeated Colorado State with a record of 28–9. And it’s all thanks to four touchdown passes from Shedeur Sanders. Conversely, Baylor entered with 2-1 and defeated Air Force 31-3 at home. So, this will be an intense one. Well, acquire a little more knowledge about the game.

This year, play-by-play announcer Connor Onion and analyst Mark Helfrich will call the action from Folsom Field’s booth. For those who don’t know, streaming options are also available for this matchup on the Fox Sports app and Fubo. We suggest these two because they offer a free trial to new subscribers. Let’s go and grab it! Wait, do you have any idea about the newscasters?

Well, for his age, Connor Onion is a top play-by-play man. That level of vocabulary, maturity, and insight in a young broadcaster is uncommon. In addition, he is headed in the right direction and may end up taking Reis’s place at SIU. On the other hand, Mark Helfrich is an American former football coach who worked for the University of Oregon and Chicago Bears. Along with that, he also played in the Austrian Football League as a professional player. Presently, he serves Fox Sports as an analyst. Now let’s take a look at Saturday’s matchup predictions. 

Some predictions on Colorado Buffs vs. Baylor Bears

Both the team entered week 4 with a record of 2-1. Now, both the team have their own gems. Buffs have Travis Hunter, who caught 13 passes for 100 yards and 2 TDs against CSU whereas, in the Bears’ game against the Falcons, Sawyer Robertson completed 18 of 24 passes for 248 yards, and no touchdowns. On top of this, for the Buffs, Shedeur Sanders completed 36 of 49 passes for 310 yards in the last matchup, which is also accountable. Now, the question is, who has more probability to win?

Standing there, Baylor’s head coach Dave Aranda showcased a huge respect for Deion Sanders and stated, “A lot of respect for our opponent… It’s going to take our best. If #2 knows what you are in, he eats you up. That’s an NFL thing. I think Deion is doing a great job. I have a lot of respect.” It reflects this will be a healthy competition. However, analysts made some predictions about Baylor, suggesting their pass defense may be fraudulent, but they have a strong run defense, capable running backs, and so on. Let’s see what will this Saturday bring for fans.
