Another year, another Colorado victory over Colorado State in the Rocky Mountain Showdown. The Buffaloes didn’t play their best all-around game in their season debut, but the defense was incredible as they worked their way to a hard-fought 17-3 victory.
Rocky Mountain Shootout is what we expected, but Rocky Mountain Shitshow is what we got. The Colorado offense is as loaded as it’s been in a long time and Colorado State looks lethal themselves, so it was only natural to expect both offenses to pick apart the opposing defenses in a high-scoring affair. But the Colorado defense, the Colorado offense and the officials all denied that emphatically.
