BOULDER — The decision by Colorado State coach Mike Bobo to delay the announcement of his starting quarterback ahead of Friday’s Rocky Mountain Showdown doesn’t seem to be affecting the Rams’ rival.
“I think they’ll play Nick Stevens,” Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said Tuesday.
Whether it’s the incumbent Stevens, as the Buffaloes expect, or graduate transfer Faton Bauta, the Rams’ quarterback will face a stiff early test against a CU secondary that has a chance to be one of the Pac-12’s best units.
Led by do-it-all senior Chidobe Awuzie, who starts at cornerback but lines up all over the field, the Buffs boast experience and versatility in their defensive backfield.
