Oregon State lost to Sac State the year before. My expectations are that CU in week 2 will be far behind where Riley had Oregon State in 2011 when they got beat.
Looking at # of BCS recruits is one metric, but not a real important one to me.
I'd agree that we probably have more raw talent to work with, but not a lot of time to coach them up.
CAU will have some skilled receivers and playmakers, lots of team speed, a very good QB and a system that everyone has been in awhile. Their players will have experience and time in their system. I.E. player development goes to them.
If our QB play is not good, we can lose this game pretty easily.
