192 Colorado at Colorado State

The Buffaloes step down in class this weekend after taking on an excellent FCS entrant North Dakota State, and a much improved Nebraska squad. Colorado hasn’t beaten an FBS opponent since knocking off Arizona State 27-24 in game six a year ago. In fact, they have lost seven straight games to FBS opponents. The running game has been non-existent averaging just 1.67 yards per carry thus far. That’s the fault of a weak offensive line. The Buffaloes are also weak in the secondary, as they have permitted 43 of 56 passes to be completed.

The Rams have revenge from a 43-35 loss a season ago. The 52-0 loss to Texas, while still looking bad, can be excused a bit after seeing how the Longhorns played in Michigan last week. This is a club that should find success in the running game, which will open up the passing opportunities. 

Colorado is the better team, but we just can’t trust them laying points. Too many new players to expect anything but struggles early on in the year.
