Colorado Football: 3 bold predictions vs. Colorado State in Week 1

Colorado football has won four straight in this interstate rivalry. Will Colorado State end the streak, or will the Buffs make it five straight?

This rivalry is a case of big brother and little brother with the Buffaloes playing the former role and the Rams as the latter.

Colorado has won four straight meetings in this rivalry game. In fact, the Buffaloes are 7-3 in their last ten meetings against the Rams. Will big brother win for a fifth consecutive time, or will little brother bow up and beat big brother?

Mel Tucker has preached being physical since his press conference. He wants his team to fly around the football and hit people. He wants to be disciplined and physical on both the offensive and defensive lines.

They are going to play tough, especially on defense and they are facing a Colorado State team with a lot of question marks. They will be without their top two receivers and most of their offensive line.

The Buffaloes’ depth along their defensive line will overwhelm the Rams and their inexperienced offensive line. You will see a physical style that was missing the last few seasons.
