After a disappointing end to last season, the Colorado Buffaloes (2017: 5-7, 2-7 Pac-12) see opportunities in playing the role of an underdog going into 2018. Mike MacIntyre’s sixth season in Boulder starts with a battle in the Rocky Mountain Showdown facing in-state rivals the Colorado State Rams (2017: 7-6, 5-3, MWC). This is a matchup that has been dominated by the Buffs in recent years— holding the Rams to a single score with an average of five points per contest in the past two meetings. The Buffs ran over the Rams on the way to a 17-3 victory behind Phillip Lindsay’s 140 yards on 19 carries on the ground in last September’s game, with both teams held each other scoreless in the second half.
