Colorado State at Colorado

This newly heated rivalry gets another notch on Saturday night. The big difference in this game is that it is in Boulder, not on a neutral field in Denver, where CSU fans have historically shown up in droves.  Expect about five to seven thousand CSU fans this time around and a major advantage for the more experienced Buffaloes on their home turf.  Justin Holland starts his second game for the Rams in this one. While many pundits have questioned the Buff defense, all noise out of Boulder points to major improvement. A new 4-3 scheme is freeing up defenders to make plays, something that has been absent in Boulder for years. The Buffs return 16 starters all together, which is a very good sign. The Rams defense only gets three starters back. They should get pushed all over the field on this game. It's early so we only offer one unit, but this one could get downright ugly. After their offseason troubles, this Colorado team is united and has something to prove. The Buffs for one unit.
