The Colorado Buffaloes look to keep their momentum going as they head to Florida on Saturday to take on the UCF Golden Knights. Colorado's football program tries to improve to 2-0 in Big 12 play after coming from behind to beat the Baylor Bears last weekend.

Fans weighed in on Twitter with hilarious reactions:
"He barely got off the ground when he jumped," one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"I know some kid just dislocated a shoulder trying to hold up the mandem," another added.
Among the other high-profile names spotted at the Bounce House were former NFL MVP Cam Newton, ex-NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall, and renowned rapper Rick Ross.
The Buffaloes appears to be riding high on their recent string of success under head coach Deion Sanders following the stunning win over Baylor last week. On the last play of regulation, wide receiver LaJohntay Wester caught a bomb of a Hail Mary from quarterback Shedeur Sanders before two-way star Travis Hunter forced a fumble at the goal line in overtime.
Head Coach Deion Sanders Doesn't Want His Program to Settle
There are still doubts surrounding the Buffaloes validity as contenders for this year's playoffs, most highlighted by them being two-score underdogs in the upcoming matchup versus UCF. Head coach Deion Sanders is seemingly aware of the mistakes that raise the doubts, and he wasn't shy about it with his guys in practice this week.
"We got blessed with the outcome of that game. We really got blessed," Sanders said in a social media video posted earlier this week from practice as players gathered around him. "You guys out here like you dominated. ... When are you going to want this for you? Not for me, you. For your family, for your siblings. When are you gonna want it? ... Start the whole darn practice over."
