What worries you most about the Nebraska game?
  • Adversity. The Buffs haven't experienced it yet. There will be bad plays, bad calls, and bad bounces. These young Buffs will need to stay poised and focused to pull out a win in Lincoln (44%, 173 Votes)
  • The Scott Frost factor. Never under-estimate emotion. The Nebraska players believe in their new coach - and emotion counts for a lot in college football (36%, 140 Votes)
  • The fact that Nebraska hasn't played a game. The Buffs have no film to work from with this coaching staff, giving the Huskers the element of surprise (20%, 81 Votes)

The quote from Tuesday's press conference that I liked best:
  • Bill McCartney on CU coaching staff: "These guys are good. They have character. They are the real deal" (38%, 143 Votes)
  • QB Steven Montez: ""We obviously didn't run very much of the offense (against CSU). I thought that was fairly obvious" (36%, 135 Votes)
  • RB Travon McMillian: "We are not done. It was just one game. We are going to come to work every day" (26%, 95 Votes)

CU opens as a four-point underdog to Nebraska (now up to five points). Thoughts?
  • Take the Buffs straight up! Nebraska has a true freshman QB and a porous defense! Buffs re-introduce themselves to the nation! (50%, 199 Votes)
  • The line is about right. The game will come down to who wants it more ... I hope it's the Buffs (36%, 144 Votes)
  • If we're being honest, Nebraska is a safer wager. Remember that CU under Mike MacIntyre is 6-20 on the road. This will be a large - and loud - crowd (14%, 56 Votes)

Colorado will be Nebraska's first opponent after Nebraska/Akron game cancelled. Thoughts?
  • Advantage: Colorado. The Huskers are starting a true freshman at quarterback. It will help that he doesn't have a MAC tuneup before facing the Buffs (51%, 195 Votes)
  • Makes no difference either way. Once the game starts, football is football (35%, 134 Votes)
  • Advantage: Nebraska. The Huskers have game tape on the Buffs; the Buffs have nothing on Scott Frost's new team (14%, 51 Votes)

Which player impressed you the most in CU's opening win?
  • Laviska Shenault - His 211 yards receiving are just a sample of what he will produce this year (55%, 219 Votes)
  • Nate Landman - His 16 tackles are just a sample of what he will produce this year (25%, 99 Votes)
  • Steven Montez - Almost perfect from the field, Montez has become the leading man we've been waiting for him to become (20%, 79 Votes)

  1. 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!!

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

  3. 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??? 🙂
