After beating North Dakota State in Week 1, the Colorado Buffaloes will visit Memorial Stadium on Saturday for the first time since 2018 to battle the Big Ten's Nebraska Cornhuskers, who cruised past UTEP in their season opener last weekend.
Head coach Deion Sanders and the Buffs released their latest depth chart earlier this week without any major changes from the NDSU game. Most notably, Cam'Ron Silmon-Craig was listed atop one of Colorado's two safety spots, signaling he'll get the start after suffering an undisclosed injury last week.
Kickoff between the Buffs and Cornhuskers is set for 5:30 p.m. MT on NBC.
Check out Colorado's three-deep depth chart for its Week 2 rivalry game against Nebraska:

It's Thursday and 'Fantasy Film Room' is back with Nate Tice and Matt Harmon. The two look into the three biggest fantasy storylines of the week as Drake Maye is set to make his debut and Spencer Rattler is set to do the same for New Orleans. Tice resists his prospect profiles for both rookie QBs and how he thinks their games will translate to the NFL. The two also dive into what the Houston Texans' passing attack will look like without Nico Collins for at least the next four weeks.
In this week's column, Charles McDonald delves into the Jets' real problem, appreciates Lamar Jackson's latest MVP bid, and breaks down a big issue in Cleveland besides quarterback. HOO!
Fitz, Jori and Frank start with a deep dive on the Jets firing head coach Robert Saleh after falling to 2-3 as they discuss where the Jets go from here, their plans to improve on offense, Aaron Rodgers' potential involvement in Saleh's dismissal, how this affects the Davante Adams trade market and more.
Legends get compared to legends. Degrees of greatness matter. And thus far, Rodgers has yet to change the direction of the Jets like other recent greats did their franchises.
