From the Seattle Times … (post-game press conference after 48-16 win over Fresno State)
(The team assessment through three games) We got to play a lot of guys in three games, which is really good. I think we’ve learned some things. I think we’ve made some improvements in some areas. Our pass protection has gotten better, for sure you can see that from last game to this game. We’ve gotten some guys used to bigger roles than they’ve ever had around here. I think it’s been a pretty productive three games. We know it changes it. It changes dramatically. We are going into a truly hostile environment. We’ve gone a long way, but it’s not going to feel the same as going into Boulder (Colorado). Here we go.
(on mentality against Colorado next week) On our side, this is brand new. That (the last game) was a long time ago. The rhythm of our team is different. We are still figuring some things out. We have to go on the road, which changes things for sure. This will be a big challenge. Heck of a way to open up the Pac-12 season.

Undefeated non-conference slate behind them, Buffs set sights on Washington
From the Daily Camera … Given the rising expectations, many expected the first three games of this season to be a cakewalk for the Buffs.
They certainly haven’t been as easy as expected, but after a 41-21 win against Northern Colorado on Saturday at Folsom Field, the Buffs are 3-0 for the first time since 2008.
“There’s obviously some things that we can improve on, which there’s going to be the whole entire season,” sophomore quarterback Steven Montez said. “But, I think right now I’m pretty happy with where we are right now.
“We ended up walking out of there with a victory, so that’s really all that matters to me, to be honest.”
True, getting the win was the ultimate goal, and the Buffs have accomplished that goal every week to this point. Yet, Saturday’s game — combined with a couple of shaky wins against Colorado State and Texas State — didn’t do much to raise the confidence level of Buff fans.
Sixth-ranked Washington will be in Boulder next Saturday to open Pac-12 play, and that’s a scary proposition for a CU fan base that just watched its team battle to beat UNC, which isn’t projected to finish in the top six of the Big Sky Conference.
The Buffs, however, aren’t feeling the same trepidation after their three nonconference games.
“We’re going to be ready for Pac-12 play,” head coach Mike MacIntyre said.
