Score Prediction: Colorado 42, Colorado State 20
There are a lot of question marks surrounding this Buffaloes team, but that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
First-year head coach Mel Tucker is a question mark that we like. Tucker comes to CU from the highly competitive Southeastern Conference where rivalry games are not taken lightly. The Rocky Mountain Showdown will be no exception even with the Buffs set to take on a struggling CSU team that has lost the past four encounters.
Leading the charge for Colorado will be fifth-year senior quarterback Steven Montez, playing in his third showdown.
