• Still to early to judge. If the Buffs are completely dominated by Texas A&M (read: embarrassed), I can see the season going south pretty quickly. If CU can hang with A&M, we're back on track (46%, 149 Votes)
• No. It's the first game of the season, and it was Brandon Lewis' first career start. The Buffs will improve, and it's not like other teams in the Pac-12 are dominating their first opponents (41%, 134 Votes)
• Yes. If the Buffs can't dominate the line of scrimmage against a mediocre Big Sky Conference team, it's going to be a long season. Probably looking at 3-4 wins max (13%, 41 Votes)

• What I'm taking from this: Brendon Lewis made a few plays, but he's a freshman, and will learn. Clean up the stupid penalties, and move on. 1-0 beats 0-1 (ask CSU) (49%, 166 Votes)
• Yuck. I know that a 28-point win is not to be scoffed at, but anyone who watched that game knows is was a disaster for the offense ... and 117 yards in penalties. A&M is going to kill CU (37%, 126 Votes)
• I know there will be hand-wringing over this game, but the defense (253 total yards - including 17 rushing yards - and only seven points), and special teams gives the Buffs something to build on (14%, 49 Votes)

• CU may not cover the spread (35.5 points is a lot!), but this will be a comfortable win. Buffs will go up by two scores early, then slowly but surely pull away for a three- or four-score victory (49%, 180 Votes)
• Okay, I'll admit it: I'm a little concerned. Not that CU will lose, but that the game will be like CU/UNC in 2017 - a 28-21 game in the third, CU pulling away late for a 41-21 win. A nervous night (35%, 129 Votes)
• Zero fear of this game. UNC is predicted to finish in the bottom half of the Big Sky Conference, and this Buff team has something to prove. CU in a rout - and that will be clear in the first quarter (16%, 56 Votes)

• I like the Mustafa Johnson news. Even if Johnson won't be on the field for a few weeks, if he can be there for most of the Pac-12 campaign - that's huge. One of the best 2020 defenders back? Yea!! (71%, 250 Votes)
• I like the Nate Landman quote: “I’m definitely not the same player ... I think I’m a better player". Landman was playing at an All-American level last fall before he got hurt - and he's better? (16%, 56 Votes)
• I like that we now know for sure that we will have a Ralphie VI this year. It seemed like that was a real issue, so it's nice the tradition will continue (and the video? First rate!!) (13%, 47 Votes)

• Can the Buffs win big? Sure. Will they? I don't know. Dorrell took the pedal off the gas in a couple of wins last year, and he was McCaffrey's NFL coach ... he may not want to embarrass the Bears (50%, 147 Votes)
• Maybe, but that sounds like a tough ask. Isn't this the same CU offense which scored 28.5 points/game last year? I can see the Buffs winning handily, but I wouldn't bet on this offense to get to 40+ (36%, 106 Votes)
• Sounds about right. CU will be focused, and Northern Colorado, even with the transfers, is still projected as one of worst teams in the Big Sky Conference. Blowout or bust, Buffs! (14%, 40 Votes)
