**Offense:** Dylan Smith seemed to find his game during Kansas' crucial win last week against Missouri. Colorado's quarterback situation is a lot like the Rocky Mountain weather, if you don't like what you see, wait 10 minutes; it will change. **Advantage:** Kansas
Defense: Considering its schedule, Colorado has played better football than it would appear, especially considering the offensive struggle. Same with Kansas "D," which wasn't on the field nearly as long at Missouri because the offense was able to move the ball. Advantage: Even

lastxame
Kansas snapped a 14-game conference road losing streak, beating Missouri 38-17 in Columbia.
lastgame
The Buffaloes lost to Texas 28-14, in Boulder, Colo.
**intangible:** Kansas is playing with as much confidence as ever after winning its first road game since 1998. Colorado will play without nine starters who were injured in last week's loss to Texas. Somebody get the Buffaloes a stamp ... **Advantage:** Kansas
Special Teams: Colorado no longer has return specialist Ben Kelly, who left early for the NFL. Roger Ross returned a punt for a touchdown last week. Advantage: Kansas
**Coaches:** After starting 0-4, Colorado coach Gary Barnett threatened to take the logo off the helmet for the Texas A&M game. The ploy worked, as the Buffs won at College Station, Texas, Kansas coach Terry Allen has used some mind games, too. **Advantage:** Even
