The game of the weekend (sorry Broncos) is in prime time on ESPN. The Colorado Buffaloes will face a reeling Oregon Ducks team at Folsom Field in Boulder with a chance to put years of futility in the rearview mirror.
No. 1 – Oregon @ Colorado
Oregon is not only 4-0 vs Colorado since they joined the Pac 12 they have won the 4 by an avg score of 54-10 and are +345 ypg.

Phil Steele paints a pretty bleak picture for the Buffs, but this is a new year and the Ducks are coming off an embarrassing loss at home against Utah.
Many experts peg this as CU’s best chance to reestablish themselves in the recruiting world and to give fundraising a boost with a good showing on national TV. And an injury to a key player for Oregon could open things up for the Buffs’ passing game.
Whatever plans you might have had for Saturday night, scrap them in lieu of this. This game will determine much about what the future holds for Mike MacIntyre and the Colorado Buffaloes.
