Kansas State football will try to pick up its first conference road victory in a Big 12 After Dark matchup with Colorado on Saturday night at Folsom Field in Boulder.
The No. 19-ranked Wildcats (4-1, 1-1 Big 12) are coming off a 42-20 blowout victory at home over Oklahoma State two weeks ago, while Colorado (4-1, 2-0) beat Central Florida on the road, 48-21, to remain unbeaten in the conference. Both teams were off last week.
K-State did not fare well in its first Big 12 road trip, also with a late-night start and at altitude, dropping its conference opener at Brigham Young, 38-9. The Wildcats also have lost their last four games coming off a bye week under coach Chris Klieman.
This will be the first meeting between the Wildcats and Buffaloes since Colorado left the Big 12 for the Pac-12 in 2011, only to return this year. The Buffs won a shootout, 44-36, the last time they squared off on Nov. 20, 2010, in Boulder.
K-State opened as a five-point favorite, but that number had shrunk to 3.5 as of Friday afternoon.
