The 89th installment of the annual Rocky Mountain showdown kicks off this Friday. The Colorado Buffaloes football team will take on its in-state rival, the Rams of Colorado State, for the Centennial Trophy.
For the Buffs, hopes are high that the team can repeat its dominant performance over the Rams from a year ago when the Buffs walked out of Sports Authority Field at Mile High with a 44-7 victory. That game saw a Colorado offense firing on all cylinders and a defense that didn’t let CSU get a first down until the second quarter. After the dust settled, it was the beginning of a dream season for the Buffaloes.
