Sunday's Selection ...
Note:
As I said on the outside, just hate to follow up a 3-0 sweep like I had on Friday with a losing day on Saturday. Hate to give the momentum right back.
No worries, love the challenge of having to step up and deliver back-to-back winning days to get my 8th straight winning week. Believe me I love the challenge.
Now the focus is a winning Sunday and Monday. I do that, and I get winning week # 8 in a row. I like my chances to do just that with this 10 dimer on Colorado and a Monday winner waiting after that.
Have to have a winning day today. Simple as that. Have to have a winning day.
Let's get to the Sunday game.
10 DIMER - COLORADO BUFFALOES - Usually this game is played in Denver but tonight it's on the home campus of the Buffaloes in Boulder.
Now last year on a neutral field Colorado hammered this CSU team 38-17. They led 21-14 at the half and proceeded to outscore them 17-7 in the 2nd half including 10-0 in the 4th quarter.
Getting them at home tonight it may get even worse.
Huge advantage for the Buffs at the QB spot as Cody Hawkins returns along with Tyler Hansen versus the inexperience of Grant Stucker of Colorado State and if that isn't enough, 7 of their top 8 running backs are back highlighted by Darrell Scott and Rodney Stewart.
To make matters worse for the Rams and their defense - which has only one starter back on the defensive line - they are facing perhaps the best offensive line Coach Hawkins has had since coming to Colorado.
With Hawkins on the hot seat, in his 3rd year, he finally has control of the program with his recruits and this is a great spot for him to give the alumni and the home crowd a big season opening victory.
In the Sonny Lubick era, these games were competitive but with Sonny gone, they blew them out last year and will do it again this year.
Buffs roll by 21 or more again.
