The line for this game Colorado by 17 points.

The turnaround story continues for Colorado which takes its No. 15 national ranking and half-game Pac-12 South Division lead to Tucson on Saturday night for a date with Arizona. The Buffaloes, who also moved up to 12th in the College Football Playoff rankings, have won three straight and five of their last six while the Wildcats have dropped six straight as the only winless team in Pac-12 play.

Arizona, meanwhile, also is struggling offensively, averaging only 10.3 points in its last three losses while surrendering an average of 50.3.

Quarterback Sefo Liufau has seen more pressure in the last two games, and only has completed 31-of-55 passes for 278 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions – his first two of the season with both coming a week ago Thursday against UCLA. Lindsay ranks third in the conference with 90.9 rushing yards per game, and his 11 total TDs rank fifth.

The Wildcats rotated quarterbacks Brandon Dawkins, Anu Solomon and Khalil Tate last week at Washington State, hoping to generate some offense but only managed seven points and 286 total yards in a 62-point blowout loss.

Colorado has won 13 of the 18 games in the series, but Arizona has four of the last five – including a 38-31 road victory a season ago – since the teams became Pac-12 South rivals in 2011.
