CSU's starting quarterback against CU will be ...
- Don't know / Don't care. CU (unfortnately) has to prepare for all three (55%, 137 Votes)

Are you concerned about how the Buffs will react to adversity this weekend?
- No. This is a new coaching staff with a new attitude. The team is better conditioned to handle negative plays (45%, 121 Votes)
- Yes. The confidence of this team has to be fragile. I'm worried that a bad start could lead to a bad finish (44%, 120 Votes)
- Not a concern. There will be NO adversity this weekend. Buffs roll! (11%, 30 Votes)

What concerns me the most about the CU depth chart
- The Buffs have only 11 healthy offensive linemen ... and two of those are true freshmen (52%, 147 Votes)
- The backups for Derrick Webb at linebacker are two 200-pound true freshmen (24%, 69 Votes)
- The Buffs will be covering CSU's 6'6" tight ends with 6'1" (or smaller) defensive backs (16%, 45 Votes)
- Other (8%, 24 Votes)

The best aspect of the depth chart heading into the season
- There are only seven underclassmen starting (and five of those are returning starters). Buffs are finally gaining depth and experience (44%, 141 Votes)
- The Buffs, with Wood and Liufau, appear set at QB for the next several years (30%, 96 Votes)
- The list of injured players is mercifully short compared to previous seasons (26%, 83 Votes)

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.
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!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
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??? 🙂
