The first night of the 2015 college football season concludes with Colorado traveling to Hawaii in a critical non-conference matchup for both teams. The Rainbow Warriors and Buffaloes combined for a 6-19 record last season, and a win in this contest would help both teams build momentum for a run at a bowl game this fall.
Optimism was the offseason storyline for both teams. Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre enters his third season at the helm in Boulder, and despite last year’s record (2-10), all signs point to the program trending in the right direction.
