Colorado prepares to face Baylor as Freeman poses scoring threat
Summary

Colorado's football team faces Baylor in Week 4, aiming to rebound after a recent loss to Northwestern. A significant challenge for Colorado will be containing Baylor's leading receiver, Gavin Freeman, who currently leads the NCAA in receptions. Freeman has been a crucial player for the Bears, helping to sustain drives and control the clock, particularly with quarterback DJ Lagway returning to the lineup. Colorado's defense must leverage its size advantage, as Freeman is 5-foot-9, and seek to pressure Lagway to limit Freeman's effectiveness. The game is set for this weekend in Boulder.
