Dylan Edwards Returns to Colorado as Kansas State Faces Off Against the Buffaloes

Former Colorado Buffaloes running back Dylan Edwards is set to return to his old stomping ground as the Kansas State Wildcats take on the Colorado Buffaloes in a crucial Week 7 matchup. Edwards, who spent his true freshman season at Colorado, transferred to Kansas State and has since become a key contributor to the Wildcats’ offense. He has run for 201 yards and scored two touchdowns this season.

The game, scheduled for Saturday night at Folsom Field, is a significant test for both teams. The Colorado Buffaloes, led by coach Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders, are looking to maintain their unbeaten conference record and potentially break into the top 25 polls. The Buffs are coming off a strong performance against UCF, where they won 48-21, showcasing a potent offense and a resilient defense.

Kansas State, ranked No. 18, boasts a balanced offense that heavily relies on its power rushing attack, averaging 252 yards per game on the ground. The Wildcats are led by dual-threat quarterback Avery Johnson, who has thrown for 879 yards and nine touchdowns while also rushing for 321 yards and two scores. Running back DJ Giddens has been another key player, rushing for 604 yards and two touchdowns.

The matchup is expected to be intense, with both teams vying for Big 12 contention. The game will be televised on ESPN, and the radio broadcast will be carried on the Colorado Football Radio Network. The outcome will have significant implications for both teams’ standings in the conference and their chances for a College Football Playoff berth.

Edwards’ return to Colorado adds an extra layer of intrigue to the game, as he faces his former team in what is being described as a “revenge game” by some analysts. His performance, along with those of his teammates, will be crucial in determining the outcome of this pivotal matchup.
