We are now through the first two games of the season and aside from high stress levels, it has been a perfect start. The Colorado Buffaloes decimated Colorado State in their season opener with a 45-13 win, during which Steven Montez carved up the Rams’s secondary with the Buffs’ deep receiving corps. In week 2, the Buffs traveled to Lincoln to face the Nebraska Cornhuskers and earned the victory in a crazy game, thanks to a playmaking defense and clutch offensive play from Montez and apparent superstar Laviska Shenault.
It’s too early to tell if this team is as good as their potential suggests — the defense did look shaky against Nebraska’s rushing attack — but two games is plenty to look at everyone’s stats and project them for the rest of the regular season.
