Colorado may have a quarterback competition there, with Montez being challenged by redshirt freshman Sam Noyer, who played nearly the entire second half at No. 15 Washington State, finishing 7-of-18 passing for 53 yards. Does that change anything you do: "Not necessarily. Both guys have similar traits, so I wouldn't foresee the offense changing a great deal. You never really know; they might run triple option next week. They've done a great job on offense, and they'll utilize whoever they've got lined up back there, and so both guys are talented."
Cal has lost its last 11 conference road games, with the last Pac-12 road win coming on Sept.
