The Colorado Buffaloes stomping all over Oregon’s midfield logo surely won’t come back to haunt them

No. 19 Colorado faces its toughest test yet on Saturday by traveling to Oregon for a ranked matchup against the No. 10 Ducks.

Already a 21-point underdog, the Buffaloes have a lot working against them this week: The loss of Travis Hunter, an opposing Heisman candidate QB and one of the toughest road environments in college football at Autzen Stadium.

So you’d think the Buffaloes would land in Oregon with their heads down and focused on the task ahead without giving any extra edge to their opponents. You would also be wrong.

As video from Colorado’s road trip shows, the Buffaloes arrived for their walkthrough at Autzen Stadium and promptly made themselves at home on the midfield logo — by stomping on it.

Keep in mind, this is the same Colorado team that took umbrage to Nebraska holding a meeting on the midfield logo before their Week 2 matchup in Boulder.

Buffaloes QB Shedeur Sanders called the move disrespectful and promptly confronted the Huskers on the spot.

Deion Sanders has done everything he can to take any outside comments made about the Buffs and turn it into fuel.

Be it from doubters, or haters or neutral observers, Sanders has made it clear that he’ll take everything about his team personally. And his players have followed his lead.

So you have to wonder why oh why the Buffaloes would turn around and give Oregon the type of motivation Colorado has been thriving on.

Win the game first, then you can plant your flag at midfield.
