Buffs Head to Fort Worth To Take on TCU: Five Things to Know
October 03, 2025 | Football
FORT WORTH — Colorado football returns to the beginning on Saturday, visiting Armon G. Carter Stadium for the first time since the start of the Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders Era.
Saturday will be the third all-time meeting between Colorado and TCU. Each side has won in the opposing team's stadium, with the Buffaloes looking to make it 2-0 on TCU's home turf.
Colorado (2-3, 0-2) has seen improved offensive line play this season, headlined by sophomore Jordan Seaton. Seaton has a pass block grade of 91.4 on PFF, the top of any offensive lineman in the Power 4. He's one of just four offensive linemen grading out over 90 and the only tackle on the list.
In 174 pass block snaps, he has allowed just one hurry, has one penalty, and has a perfect 100% on pass block efficiency.
Overall, the Buffs' pass blocking grade is 89.1, the best mark in the Big 12 and third best in the Power 4.
As a team, the offensive line has 187 pass blocking snaps and has been penalized just twice (one accepted) and given up 27 pressures in total.
TCU (3-1, 0-1) dropped out of the top 25 this week, following its 27-24 loss at Arizona State last week. The Horned Frogs have been able to get to the quarterback this season, ranking second in the Big 12 and 18th in the FBS with 3.0 sacks per game. TCU has also been able to put up points on defense, leading the conference and sitting 4th in the nation with two defensive touchdowns. Offensively, quarterback Josh Hoover ranks fourth in the Big 12 with 9.20 yards per attempt and third in total offense, averaging 308.5 yards per game.
Five Things to Know
Connor Onion and Robert Griffin III will be in the booth, and Alexa Landestoy will be on the sideline for FOX.
Voice of the Buffs Mark Johnson and former head coach Gary Barnett will have pregame coverage starting at 3:40 p.m. MT on the Colorado Radio Network, locally on 850 KOA (AM) and 94.1 FM.

Five Things to Know
- Back to Where it Began – The Buffs head back to Fort Worth, where the Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders Era got underway for the Buffs with a dramatic 45-42 win over the defending national runners-up to open the 2023 season. Shedeur Sanders threw for a CU record 510 yards, and Travis Hunter had 11 catches for 119 yards and an interception.
- Dre'Lon Miller – CU's Swiss army knife on offense, has lined up at slot receiver, wide receiver, inline, in the backfield, and as a wildcat quarterback so far this season.
- Tawfiq Byard – The South Florida transfer leads all Big 12 defensive backs in tackles and is third in the league overall. He leads the team with 37 tackles, 32 of which have come in the last three games. Older brother Kevin plays in the NFL for the Chicago Bears.
- O-Line – The offensive line has been much improved to start the 2025 season. In 295 offensive snaps through five games, the offensive line has not allowed a sack, per PFF. The line has given up three QB hits, 22 QB hurries and committed four penalties as a group.
- Salter – He is one of the nation's leaders in touchdowns since the start of the 2023 season with 75, just one behind Tennessee's Joey Aguilar and Vanderbilt's Diego Pavia. He is the only one in that time frame with more than 50 passing touchdowns and more than 20 rushing touchdowns (52 &23).
