Colorado launches College Football 27 challenge with major prizes

Colorado football fans and video game enthusiasts should be ecstatic about a new promotional challenge from the Colorado Buffaloes this season.

This week, Colorado announced "The Legacy Challenge" in partnership with EA Sports College Football 27. The contest challenges Colorado fans to play as the Buffs in either Dynasty or Road to Glory to win the Heisman Trophy.

To enter, all participants must complete a Google Form with the player's name, number, and position. In addition, the contest asks for five photos and video highlights from your award-winning season and a video of your athlete winning the Heisman Trophy.

The deadline to enter is 11:59 p.m. on Friday, October 23.

The prizes are really what sets this contest apart. The winner receives two Flatirons Club Tickers to Colorado's game against Houston or UCF, plus a pregame sideline pass and a Colorado football gear pack. Additionally, if you play as a current Buff instead of a created player, you will be entered to win an autographed item from that player.

Best players to win the Heisman at Colorado in College Football 27

Let's say you want to enter the challenge, but have no idea which player gives you the best chance to win college football's ultimate award.

• WR Danny Scudero
• WR DeAndre Moore Jr.
• WR Joseph Williams
• HB Richard Young
• HB Micah Welch
• QB Julian Lewis

You could argue that those six players are the most important to Colorado's offensive success. Given that all of them should see plenty of snaps in your College Football 27 save, a Heisman is certainly within the realm of possibilities if you play your cards right. I personally have had great success with running backs and slot receivers winning the Heisman.
