Buffs know they have work to do in preparing for Colorado State
From CUBuffs.com … Guaranteed, the Colorado Buffaloes will be seeing plenty of film this week on Colorado State.
If the Buffs weren’t already impressed with the CSU offense, the Rams’ 58-point, 525-yard performance against Oregon State in Saturday’s 58-27 win no doubt did the trick. Every Colorado player who watched Saturday’s game — and it’s a safe bet that most Buffs were watching — now knows what they’ll be facing when CU opens its season Friday against CSU in a 6 p.m. matchup at Sports Authority Field.
The opener will no doubt be a test for both sides of the ball for the Buffs — but it is a defense that will be putting a host of new starters on the field that presents the biggest unknown for Colorado.
There are clearlyt a handful of veterans on whom the Buffs know they can rely. Players such as linebacker Rick Gamboa, safeties Afolabi Laguda and Ryan Moeller, defensive back Evan Worthington, outside linebacker Derek McCartney, defensive end Leo Jackson III and cornerback Isaiah Oliver are all proven players.
But the Buffs will also need some untested players to step up. That list includes redshirt freshman cornerback Trey Udoffia, who will be seeing his first collegiate action; and junior defensive lineman Jase Franke, a player who has seen some spot playing time in the last couple of years but will likely see that playing time increase in a big way this season.

Colorado State feels better prepared to face Colorado
From the Daily Camera … Colorado State could not have asked for a better way to open its brand new, on campus stadium.
Playing in front of a sell-out crowd of 37,583, CSU thumped Oregon State, 58-27 and then celebrated with students and fans in their new home.
“It was an awesome day to be a Ram,” head coach Mike Bobo said. “It was a test and it was a good test against a Pac-12 opponent in an opening of a new stadium, under pressure. Not just an opponent you were playing, but the pressure of having to win this ball game for your fan base and your community and for each other; that was a test. Within that test, you had multiple different tests.
“That was good for our team.”
This was more than just a good win for the Rams, however. This was a statement and a warning to their future opponents — starting with the rival Colorado Buffaloes — that they can’t be taken lightly.
