Colorado vs Air Force Preview
The University of Colorado lost their first game of the season in week one, while Air Force won theirs and is now favored against the Buffaloes by 17.5 points.
Ahead of the game, Air Force head coach Troy Calhoun told Yahoo Sports that there is “so much mutual respect” between their two schools.
“There’s just so much mutual respect,” Calhoun said. “You think about our flagship university in our state being an AAU school (in a) phenomenal town. The commitment they’ve made in terms of the athletic department, especially to football, that makes you proud to live in this state for their dedication, it really does. And then you bring in the history; I think in the last 40 years, there’s only been about six, seven schools that have played for back-to-back national championships and Colorado is one of them. That’s pretty awesome… If my son or daughter went to school there, I’d be proud.”
He previously told the Atlantic that this was a starting-over year for the Air Force.
“We’re going to begin all over,” Calhoun said. “Being at an academy, playing in a major conference, there’s no such thing as sustainability. Really, you go into this year with zero expectations. … It’s a completely different roadmap that’s needed,” he said. “You realize you’re living off points in space rather than being cyclical. It’s moment by moment, because you’re dealing with some really unique circumstances that are a part of college athletics, especially playing in a major conference.”
In his own press conference, Colorado head coach Karl Dorrell said that they have a plan and safety Camby Goff added that this is “really just the next game” (via CBS Sports).
“We do have a plan,” Dorrell said. “We talked about and worked through it. We will not discuss that plan today with you guys but we do have a plan moving forward.”
“I would just say it’s really just the next game — the next game’s most important,” sadded Goff. “That’s what it means to us. They’re a good team. We know about them. … But we’ll just prepare for the next game.”
