Separation time has arrived in the Pac-12 Conference South Division.
If all goes well on Saturday and coach Mike MacIntyre's Buffaloes post their second consecutive win against one of the splashy new coaching hires in the Pac-12 Conference, the CU football team will have begun the most demanding stretch of its schedule on the right foot.
Win or lose, Buffs fans should have plenty to look forward to, this season and beyond. The arrival of ASU's Herman Edwards one week after Chip Kelly and his extensive UCLA rebuilding project rolled through town got me wondering about the allure of big-name coaches compared to what MacIntyre has built in Boulder.
