Stanford offense presents challenge for young CU Buffs defense

This is not the Stanford of Andrew Luck or Christian McCaffrey days, but when the Colorado Buffaloes host the Cardinal on Saturday, they’ll face a team that really hasn’t changed much in the past decade.

CU (3-6, 1-5 Pac-12) will look to snap its five-game losing streak when Stanford (4-4, 3-3) visits Folsom Field for a 1:10 p.m. kickoff (TV: Pac-12 Networks), and it’s a testament to Cardinal coach David Shaw that this is considered a down year for his program.

“He does a great job with offense and obviously what Stanford has been able to do for a long time offensively and their belief in running the football,” CU defensive coordinator Tyson Summers said.
