Colorado (1-1, 0-0 Pac-12) versus Colorado State (1-1, 0-0 Mountain West), 5 p.m., Saturday, CBS Sports Network, Sports Authority Field at Mile High, Denver
The 87th Rocky Mountain Showdown is set to be renewed this weekend as Colorado State faces off against Colorado at Mile High Stadium.
Colorado is coming off a comfortable 48-14 win over Massachusetts, where the Buffs accumulated an impressive 390 rushing yards on way to the victory. The Colorado offense was far too powerful for an overmatched UMass side, and the Buffalo defense did a steady job in forcing two interceptions. Star wide receiver Nelson Spruce had six catches for 64 yards and a touchdown, as the Buffs looked much improved coming off an embarrassing week one loss against Hawaii.
Colorado State is coming off a hard-fought overtime loss versus Minnesota, losing 23-20, on a game the defense shined and offense floundered.
