Preview

Colorado had a breakout 10-win season in 2016, but fell back to .500 last season, so there’s definite room for improvement. There’s lots of promise riding on quarterbacks Steven Montez and K.J. Carta-Samuels. The latter set a single-game school record with 537 yards, and added five touchdowns to their losing effort.

While CSU lost 43-34 to Hawaii last Saturday, Buffaloes head coach Mike MacIntyre is expecting them to bring their A-game tonight. “When you dissect the film against Hawaii, they drastically got better as it went along,” he said. “In the second half, CSU played really, really, really well. They are dynamic on offense. They have guys that can run everywhere and the quarterback can throw the deep ball really, really well.”

“That run and shoot is hard to prepare for in a couple of days,” he continued. “I know they’ll play a ton better on defense (against CU) than they did. I was really impressed with their fight and their spirit in the second half, coming back.”

CSU will no doubt be looking to redeem themselves after last week, and much of that will hinge on the leadership of head coach Mike Bobo, who was sidelined in the hospital with peripheral neuropathy after experiencing numbness in his feet. Bobo could potentially return to the sidelines tonight. “My wife says I’m moving a little bit faster, but not fast enough to get on that sideline,” he revealed. “I do not know the answer to that yet. Anything is open.”

it’s evident this team still has plenty of rebuilding to do. If they lose to Colorado, it will be the first time they’ve gone 0-2 since 2013. To add stress to the situation, CSU will face SEC opponents Arkansas and Florida in the following weeks. This puts them in the hot seat in terms of needing a win.
