The difference in production from Arizona and Colorado on the road and at home have been vastly different this season. Arizona is favored to win at Colorado on Saturday. Colorado returns home after a 53-7 loss at Utah last week. Arizona travels to Boulder with a two-game losing streak following the bye.
Colorado has three wins and two losses at Folsom Field in Boulder in 2025. The Buffaloes have lost all three of their 2025 road games. Colorado lost to Georgia Tech, which is currently 8-0 won in the season opener in Boulder and BYU gave the Buffaloes their other 2025 home loss.
Colorado beat Delaware, which is in its first season in the Football Bowl Subdivision, Group of Five opponent Wyoming and upset Iowa State in Boulder in 2025. The split numbers for Colorado show a drastic difference, but have to be put in context with the wins over Delaware and Wyoming.
Colorado is averaging 26.6 points per game, 377.2 yards per game, 156.2 rushing yards and 221.0 passing yards at home in 2025. On the road, Colorado is averaging 16.0 PPG, 261.0 YPG, 174.3 passing YPG and 86.67 rushing YPG.

The difference in how Arizona has played on the road and Colorado has performed at home are trends the Wildcats have to break if they are going to emerge with a win on Saturday. At 4-3, two games away from bowl eligibility, the game at Colorado is critical for Arizona.
