Are there lines out yet 2 weeks ahead of the games? This one a pick or do the Buffs get the nod? Gotta be close right?

Psssht. What does Vegas know? A visit to Ramnation will tell you that this is an easy 10-20 pt Ram win.

Man that felt good to belt out

Apparently they don't like their WR's being called pedestrian. I only remember that WR/punt returner being a big issue. Isn't he gone? and didn't that fancy SBN preview note the WR's were just average anyways?
Is Cartwheel still there? I mean Cartwright?

Yep he is.
I like their WRs and TEs. Grayson can get them the ball.
There's not much else I like about their team this year. Solid players sprinkled throughout the position groups, but no units that jump out. Lots of holes and lack of depth.
it is literally unpossible to be anything else but figuratively. years are 365.25 days long. you literally cannot have a long or short year. it's just a year - literally.

He had a hell of a game. 91 yards receiving (8 catches), 92 yards on punt returns. The Kick return guy, Coffman, he's gone though. Either way, sounds like a WR corp that can hurt you, but not a particularly deep or dangerous one compared to what we will see most of this year. Just looked up the preview. Yup, lots of WR's returning (4 of top 5, including a TE), even though almost all of them are possession guys.
Strength against strength. I like our CBs/S in this matchup. Only one seemingly deep threat, and their top WR is the MWC version of Nelson Spruce. Should allow us to get some good pass break up/interception return opportunities from sitting on routes.
Wildcard: TE. We just don't have an effective one in practice to go against. Might hurt us, especially early.
To quote the late great MLK. "I have a pond" dammit+
I like where your head's at on this.
Too bad Orms isn't here anymore. I know Cartwright was looking to practice his aerobatics again.
Leap year (I'm Ron Burgundy)??
lol
I think where I come from with this game is kind of how I felt before big exams in college. That is a fear of failure. I think it's critical that CU is successful in our first 6 games. Losing to CSU, to me, would be almost devastating. I know some will disagree, but that is how I view it.
OTOH, a win for CSU would be gravy for them. A loss would not be nearly as big a deal. They lost last year and still made a bowl game. To have a snowball's chance in Hell to make a bowl game, we HAVE to win.

I remember these same things being said in 2009 and 2012. I tend to think we have superior coaching than either of those years. As has been said, we have superior talent than CSU (which shouldn't even be a question, ever). Every time we seem to struggle we lose the big play battle, turnover battle, and LOS battle. Win 2 of 3 and game won't be close. Lose all 3 and we are in trouble.
Not sure what to think of CSU this year. Grayson is seasoned and won't make mental mistakes. As been said, we need to get great pressure with our DT's as I don't see it with our DE's. I also expect CSU to throw everything in the play book at the Buffs. Still think we win by double digits, but don't have the confidence yet to make that prediction.

The only reason the rammies had a chance last year were due to special teams breakdowns. All the camp updates, understandably, focus on offense and defense. But, hopefully, with better overall talent, our ST's will be greatly improved this year.
Gotta be honest - I love this enthusiasm. I have seen this many AllBuffers this confident/positive since ever.
If there was a year for them to beat us it was last year. They're worse this year and we'll be better than last year
Aaaand the party-pooper chimes in...:lol:
It wouldn't surprise me if this offense took a few weeks to gel. We're really young on that side of the ball and the identity is changed from last year's "find a way to get P-Rich the ball if you want to score" attack.
Three offensive TDs. One defensive or one where the defense creates a TO and puts the O in good position to score. One FG. 31-13
