2018 Rocky Mountain Showdown (8/31)

A) we need to stop saying that CSU’s OL is trash. We say it every year and it turns out to be wrong.
2) I would be careful about say Carta-Samuels is automatically going to suck because he didn’t play a lot behind one of the best QBs in college. We said the same thing about that transfer running back with double knee surgery a few years ago and he treated CU like a junior high team.
Just sayin’

Boooooo
 
I do not think Carta-Samuels is terrible, but Hill being rushed back tells me their coaches are not sold him as the starter. Add in Bobo being away from the team (he is the OC essentially) and I think there are going to be growing pains.

More of an indictment of the DC and D-line than anything else.

Despite their yearly sunshine pumping the reports on Samuels in their scrimmages have not been glowing. His completion percentage has not been high against their defense, a defense which has lost a lot from a team last year that wasn't exactly dominant.

BUT HE PLAYED AT WASHINGTON UNDER CHRIS PETERSON!!11!1
 
CSU Oline is going to be massive...are they any good? Who knows. Their RBs are big. Their DL is undersized. LBs look decent. DB's unknown. Thought they were the better team on the field last year. We are better. They are a big unknown.
 
Better team on the field doesn't score 3 points and lose by 2 TDs, penalties or not. They haven't been the better team on the field since 2014.

So, CSU by 30?

CSU does a great job with Oline development and always seems to have a player or two who are really good. Passed that, its typically in spurts where you find decent position play. CU needs to limit the major mistakes and typically this plays out like it always does. CSU fans are going to be very hostile with how the game transpired last year (they truly think a fix was in). CU will have their normal first game issues, but should see a double digit lead by mid way through the 4th.

UNLV isn't that bad considering it's in a desert blocks from The Strip

The first part of your response, no, not really :ROFLMAO:

Second part - this is more of the way I see it. Just dismissing them out of hand is kind of asinine to me.
 
Below is 2 years old from ALLBUFFS (dont remember who).....but we won the last 2 so do the math....awesome fun facts, numbers dont lie

Let’s look at the CU/CSU rivalry … by the numbers.
Where do we start?
Well, how about with the all-time record between the schools?
— Colorado leads the series, 63-22-2, a .735 winning percentage.
“That’s not a fair comparison”, shouts the chorus from Ft. Fun. “Those numbers are skewed by games played in the distant past. Leather helmet games don’t reflect the current status of the two schools”.
Okay, let’s look at the games played since the series was renewed (in 1983, after a 25-year hiatus). The Buffs’ advantage?
— 20-8, a .714 winning percentage (not quite the .735 of the all-time series … but it’s close).
“Fine”, comes the retort from the Ewe brigade. “Some of those games were played when CU was good in the late ’80’s and early 90’s. What about since the teams started playing in Denver, at a neutral site?”
— In games played in Denver, CU’s lead is 9-6 … a mere .600 winning percentage.
So, yes, Ram Nation, please feel free to whoop it up over a .400 winning percentage against your main rival …
(Oh, and before the Ram fans get too excited about taking on the Buffs in Ft. Collins in 2020 and – possibly – beyond, they should be reminded that Colorado has a 23-7-1 all-time record in games played on the Rams’ home turf, a .758 winning percentage)
—
The past decade has been, unarguably, the worst in the history of Colorado football. The Buffs – and their fans – have endured ten straight losing seasons. The longest such streak before the current one? Six seasons (1979-84).
— Colorado has posted four ten-game losing seasons in that span (including three of the past five years), after having only two ten-loss seasons (1980; 1984) in the history of the school;
— Colorado finished the 2014 season with an 0-9 conference record, the first campaign without at least one conference victory in 99 years;
— Colorado has finished alone in last place in the Pac-12 South in four of its five seasons since joining the conference. Colorado hadn’t finished last alone in conference play since 1915, when CU finished 0-5 in Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference play (so, yes, you are correct … Colorado never once finished alone in last place as a member of the Big Seven, the Big Eight, or the Big 12).
In short, if there has ever been a period of time in which the Buffs were ripe for the taking, it has been the past decade.
Has Colorado State taken advantage?
Nope.
Colorado won last season, 27-24 in overtime, with a Buff team coming off of a ten-loss season (not to mention an embarrassing loss to open the season against Hawai’i and a lackluster win over UMass) defeating a Ram team coming off of a ten-win season.
In the past three seasons? CU has won two of three under Mike MacIntyre.
In the past five seasons? CU has won three of five (with even Jon Embree earning a split)
In the past ten seasons … the worst collective ten seasons in Colorado history … CU still has won six of ten.
With Colorado State unable to create any momentum in the series with the Buffs down, it should come as no surprise that, in historical context, the comparison between the two teams is laughable.
If you need confirmation, head to Winsipeida.com. There you can find a breakdown of the rivalry between any two schools of your choosing. There are 12 categories of comparison listed … and Colorado leads Colorado State in all 12:
— All-time record: CU – 685-490-36 (.581) – 38th nationally; CSU – 506-559-33 (.476) – 105th nationally
— Conference championships: CU 26 – 10th nationally; CSU – 15 – 36th nationally
— Bowl games: CU 28 – 36th nationally; CSU 15 – 64th nationally
— All-time wins: CU 685 – 25th nationally; CSU 506 – 92nd nationally
— Consensus All-Americans: CU 31 – 19th nationally; CSU 3 – 74th nationally
— NFL Draft picks: CU 266 – 22nd nationally; CSU 100 – 77th nationally
— First round NFL Draft picks: CU 24 – 24th nationally; CSU 5 – 68th nationally
— Bowl record: CU 12-16 (.429) – 66th nationally; CSU 6-9 (.400) – 71st nationally
— Weeks in Associated Press poll: CU 293 – 27th nationally; CSU – 43 – 75th nationally
There are other measures of comparison at Winsipedia, including national championships, Heisman trophy winners, and time spent as the No. 1 team in the nation. Colorado, of course, rates in all three categories (including seven weeks atop the AP poll, 24th on the all-time list).
Colorado State, of course, has none of the above.

They should be nervous. They are putting a ton of pressure on themselves setting what could turn out to be very unrealistically high expectations on the shoulders of their Messiah, Scott Frost.

He should be. If you are smart and have paid attention to college football the last couple years you would know that Colorado is still way ahead of Nebraska. I really don’t think the huskers match up well with Colorado. I think they are on for a rude awakening on 9/8.Buffs are going to have A LOT of big plays in Lincoln. Ask Michigan about those Big plays and Nebraska is nowhere near the team Michigan was two years ago.

Funny? Yes. But we want our ooc opponents to have great records outside of the game against us. That doesn’t mean I still won’t root for Nebraska to lose every game they play.
