BOULDER — If you're aching to see the Colorado Buffaloes muscle their way back to relevancy, you couldn't ask for a better season opener than Friday night's kickoff against Texas Christian.
This is not the time for cupcakes.
This is an opportunity for Colorado, a game against a well-respected program from a Power 5 conference and a chance to build some critical early season confidence and momentum.
No doubt, the cards have been dealt in the Buffs' favor: at home, under the lights, national television, and what will surely be a raucous Folsom Field crowd.
