UCLA Football: Expert Reveals Potential Secret Weapon For Deion Sanders, Colorado vs Bruins

One of the sport's best.

Your UCLA Bruins accomplished what their next gridiron opponent couldn't last weekend by convincingly defeating Stanford by a decisive 42-7 margin this Saturday. 

The 23rd-ranked Bruins now welcome Deion Sanders and his polarizing Colorado team that has taken college football by storm this season. 

Sanders' Buffaloes couldn't hold onto a 29-0 lead and lost to the Cardinal in overtime but should get the improved health of one of their best players against UCLA for their upcoming matchup.

Hunter is attempting to do what hasn't been seen since the days of his head coach himself as a successful two-way player at the next level. 

The talented athlete boasts the skill set to both be a wide receiver and cornerback at an elite level for Colorado this season. 

A dirty hit knocked Hunter out of action for multiple weeks and the Buffaloes' slide from ranked team to outside the top 25 directly coincides with his absence. 

Another week of rest and recovery could spell trouble for Chip Kelly as he'll hope to tackle him on one end while simultaneously keeping an eye on his coverage all game long. 

The Bruins face some questions of their own after Ethan Garbers dominated in his start against Stanford as Dante Moore's replacement. 

Moore's poor play contributed to both of UCLA's losses to Pac-12 opponents on the season and Kelly's own indecisive nature could spell some controversy.

UCLA opens the game as the heavy betting favorite against college football's biggest story this season, but Saturday night will tell the true story.
