ESPN reports Ryan Staub will be the starting quarterback against Houston. Thoughts?
  • Like it. Ryan Staub has the confidence of the team and of the coaching staff. If Staub gives CU the best chance to win, he should be the starter ... and the coaches should know (61%, 104 Votes)
  • What really caught my eye was Coach Prime's quote that he doesn't want a merry-go-round at QB. As opposed to, say, last week? What will this do to Salter's confidence? (32%, 54 Votes)
  • Not a fan. Staub didn't get his first TD pass until after two incompletions and a long run gave CU new life, then a long pass on third-and-six. Not sure that's enough of a resume to start (7%, 13 Votes)

Kickoff time for next Saturday's home game against Wyoming finally set: 815 p.m., MT, ESPN. Thoughts?
  • It's the way of the world, at least until the Buffs start winning some games. ESPN/Fox will want CU on the air, but if the Buffs aren't relevant, late night it will be (59%, 105 Votes)
  • You're kidding, right? Parents' weekend game a late night kickoff? I hate having games end at midnight, and I'm sure it will cut back on attendance (36%, 64 Votes)
  • I like it. If it cuts down on attendance, it will likely be from Wyoming fans selling their tickets because they don't want to get home at 2:00 a.m. Plus, the student section will be "primed" (5%, 8 Votes)

CU opens as a 4.5-point road underdog to Houston (Friday, 5:30 p.m., MT, ESPN). Thoughts?
  • With the three-point home edge, Vegas is telling us that this is a pretty even game. A toss up game which could go either way in the fourth quarter. I hope the Buffs pull this one out (46%, 87 Votes)
  • I like this line. The Buffs will play with a chip on their shoulder. Houston was a 4-8 last year, and hasn't been tested. Buffs will show they are good team, and pick up a road Big 12 win (33%, 62 Votes)
  • I'm surprised the line isn't higher. The Buffs are in disarray, and the Cougars will be ready to exploit CU's weaknesses. This will be a tough one to watch, as the Cougars pull away late (21%, 40 Votes)

Colorado 31, Delaware 7. Thoughts?
  • Who will be the Buffs quarterback going forward? Will the Buff defense learn how to tackle? Two games in, and there are more questions than answers (69%, 204 Votes)
  • The Buffs barely outgained the "Fightin' Blue Hens", and it took three turnovers and a missed field goal to beat the spread. Color me unimpressed (17%, 50 Votes)
  • Let's see ... Offense scores 31, defense holds the opposition to 7 points, and the Buffs were again 3-0 in turnovers. I'll take it! (14%, 41 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for CU v. Delaware, Saturday, 1:30 p.m., MT, Fox
  • I can see the Buffs pulling away for a comfortable victory in the end, but there will be a few tense moments early. CU wins, but I'm not sure about covering the 23.5-point spread (52%, 68 Votes)
  • Most pleasant afternoon of the season. Buffs come out hot, starters rest in the second half, and CU fans get their first look at the future in Julian Lewis at quarterback. Blow out for CU! (34%, 44 Votes)
  • Remember the North Dakota State game, which went down to the final play? Remember CU being gashed for 320 rushing yards last weekend? Not predicting an upset for Delaware, but too close for comfort (14%, 18 Votes)

  1. Stuart:

    I like the question about SS’s negative coverage. Personally, I think the see-saw coverage is mostly about “stirring the pot” and/or getting clicks. SS is this year’s draft soap opera–a love/hate fest For one negative story there is a more positive one. Some stories are just hit jobs (anonymous NFL assistant/exec), others just cover every minutia of his life. Yesterday, Kiper has him still going early.

    SS is an intriguing draftee warranting discussion, however the extensive overall coverage on every detail for one QB prospect seems over the top. NFL teams have their draft boards, needs, and evaluations and they make decisions based upon that. I’ll be glad when SS and TH are picked today and the focus will be on our team.

  2. The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!

  3. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  4. Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
