Colorado Buffaloes cruise past Idaho State in final tuneup before facing Michigan

BOULDER — The bigger, faster, stronger Buffaloes once again breezed past an overmatched opponent on Saturday.

Now, it’s time to find out whether the team coach Mike MacIntyre calls his best during his four seasons at Colorado is ready for the spotlight.

Using the new-and-improved tempo it debuted in a rout of Colorado State last week and leaning on defense that kept its opponent from crossing midfield in the first half, CU cruised to a 56-7 victory over Idaho State at Folsom Field.

It was a dress rehearsal disguised as a home opener in front of 39,505, and the Buffs nailed all their lines.
