By Cam Sutton , RF Sports Radio Colorado voice Buffs fans, Coach Prime walked into his Tuesday press conference with a simple message, and honestly, it is the whole season in one sentence: score the football. Colorado did it for one half against Utah. Now it has to do it for 60 minutes on the road at somebody else's homecoming. The facts Colorado (2-4, 0-3 Big 12) visits Oklahoma State (4-2, 2-1) on Saturday, Oct. 24, at 6 p.m. Central at Boone Pickens Stadium on FS1, per Oklahoma State Athletics.

Colorado leads the all-time series 27-20-1, but Oklahoma State has won three of the last four meetings.

By Mac Rivera , RF Sports Radio Baylor voice Bears fans, Dave Aranda did not hide from it on Monday. The TCU loss started up front, and he said so. Now the question is whether a two-game road trip, starting in Lawrence, gives Baylor time to fix it. The facts At his weekly press conference Monday, Aranda said DJ Lagway could have gotten to a second or third read early in the 17-6 loss to TCU, but the protection broke down after that, per Sports Illustrated's Baylor Bears On SI. "Once you got past the second quarter on, there really wasn't much of a pocket to speak of," Aranda said. "It's hard to criticize when there's someone in his face the entire time. And so a cleaner line of scrimmage is gonna be cleaner decisions ." The numbers back him up. Baylor ran for 54 yards on 34 attempts , 1.6 per carry, a week after rushing for 244 against Arizona State, and converted 6 of 21 third downs, per SI. Lagway was 22-of-53 for 256 yards with an interce...
