News Junkie
At least once a year the football world is treated to a FCS/1-AA school surprising one of the BCS giants on their own field. *We saw only one last week (Youngstown St over Pitt by 14 points), and almost witnessed a few more (Maryland barely squeaked by William and Mary 7-6, and Northern Iowa almost shocked Wisconsin, for example). *It's happened to almost every FBS school over the years, with CU famously being party to it on a couple of occasions.

Sacramento State pulled their own David vs Goliath parable last season when they sneaked past Oregon State in the Beaver's 2011 season opener 29-28. *The final overtime possession looked like this:

It's up to the BCS heavy-weights to take these games seriously. *Some FCS teams are more than happy to collect their check and move on, but others live for the opportunity to grab the upset and see their highlights on SportsCenter. *There's no reason a FBS school with a full compliment of 85 scholarships should ever lose to a FCS school, but it does happen. *Hopefully the CSU loss provides*more*than enough motivation for the*Buffs*to prepare to beat the team in front of them, rather than look ahead to the road trip to Fresno St.

--

On Saturday, the Buffs return to beautiful Folsom Field for the first time in 2012. *I can wait to see the old girl in her sun-splashed gameday best once again.
No stadium finer in all the land.
Kickoff with Sacramento State is set for 1pm. *Television coverage can be found on the Pac-12 Network (if you get it). *Radio coverage, with the dulcet tones of Mark Johnson, can be found on 850 KOA.

I'm not saying it's automatic. Hell, they were within striking distance of NMSU at the start of the 3rd quarter. But, if the Aggies can roll to a 30-pt win, we should be able to win by a few scores as well.

We should have been able to beat a bottom tier MWC team as well.
