Unless it gets picked up by a big network, when CU is the home team it is on Pac-12 and when the Rams are the home team it is on CBS Sports Net.

Game Week - CSU
- Thread starter Buffnik
- Start date
Wouldn't expect them to release it anytime before they have to. Also when they do going to see a lot of the or listings so they don't have to commit to anyone. CSU had the advantage of a game to work out the kinks, CU isn't going to give up the advantage of surprise in terms of who is starting. Even though with all the packages and situational substitution the depth chart isn't all that useful anyways.
They released one last week. I really doubt it changes much between then and game time. The starters have been pretty set for awhile.
At this point, if you still have DTV, you are not a Buffs fan, you are an NFL Fan first. Quit bitchin'!
Now seeing the LB corps I'm a little more concerned than I was during camp. I'm expecting some things to change there and have more of a rotation. Honestly, I haven't seen much but based on previous observations and some camp reports I have a feeling we may not get the pressure we are used to or had last year.
Anybody know the status of that monster RT for CSU that got hurt?
Per Bobo during his presser, RT Knox is doubtful.
Offense:
1. focus on establishing that ground game first and foremost. I don't believe CSU is deep enough up front, nor fast enough at the LBs to handle our ground game, which will include those quick passes to the outside. We are deep enough at WR, and athletic enough with Montez, to create some problems there. Can CSU handle the zone-read with a stud like Montez running it? I see this as a big problem for CSU. Hat-tip to Duff here.
2. Their DBs are prone to mistakes, that OSU failed to capitalize on except perhaps 1 time. Expect Lindgren to have designs here.
3. We score often if Montez can make good decisions and we avoid turnovers.
Defense:
1. Can we pressure Stevens without bringing extras? He is not a threat to run it.
2. Can we hold up to their power running attack, especially the Fullback leading into the hole to take on our LBs? (I respect their stable of RBs who show both power and agility. But every RB needs a little seam, which they did not get in this game last year).
3. Will expect CSU to attack with TE drags that were so effective (by Michigan), play action, and lots of fullback led running plays.
3. Can our DC make necessary adjustments? I am not concerned about game-planning as I know this was always HCMM's area. But in game adjustments?
Special Teams:
Kickoffs will be a non factor. Both sides should bury the ball into the end zone.
Punts, avoid big-play mistakes.

If I recall correctly, that means Golditch slides to RT and Trae Moxely goes in as LT.
Mtn, they are not trying to hide much of anything.
A lot less ties than I had expected to see and as I mentioned doesn't say much anyways. How many plays a game are all 11 guys on the field the ones listed as first team on the depth chart? I would guess a fairly small number.
That depth chart tells you who is going to play a lot, it tells you plenty.
Good post. I would expand on that last point to say we need Kinney to set a standard early this season that he can be an effective punter because we need him to help the defense with field position.
Anyone who's been to the scrimmages and seen him punt this year, are they going with the Rugby style or traditional?
Traditional.
Both feet?
Good. Not a huge fan of the rugby style.

That RT was big, but he sure looked lost. Too bad he's not playing us.
I'm going to assume he was the best option for them at RT, or else he wouldn't have been the starter in week one

Well if he was lost, how bad is his backup?
I live in a rural part of town, no cable or dish or anything else. The only high speed internet options are DSL (not fios) and satellite, so the streaming tv is questionable at best.
Dish is a satellite service. You know that right?

You can get Hughesnet internet, DISH doesn't offer TV here. You can't even get DSL here anymore, I got lucky on that one. Cable is a no go unless I pay them to run it down the street a couple thousand feet at the cost of a few thousand dollars.
Trust me, I've tried it all. My BIL works for frontier, I've tried to get him drunk enough to do it, but he always says some stupid **** like "I'd get fired." Worthless.
and my DSL is so **** I've been told by computer people the streaming tv would be garbage.
never live in the unincorporated area people. never.

Probably bigger and I bet more talented than backup, but I think he is new to the program and maybe not as game ready.

If we have a year like 2015 with injuries on the OL, how do we like a couple of our back ups? We don't seem that deep on 2nd team, one Jr. on the whole unit with limited experience behind the 1st team?
Mtn, they are not trying to hide much of anything.
Supposedly both Kaiser and Middlemiss made huge jumps in fall camp, especially Kaiser. And Tonz is supposed to be a player (and he should have been at OG from the day he got to Boulder). But I agree that it's not a lot of experienced depth.
