Stephens: Pencil in CU’s Steven Montez to win the Heisman. Lousy Colorado State is becoming a kingmaker

Steven Montez misled us.

Nay, he lied.

Tuesday, Montez, the CU Buffaloes quarterback, detailed how great Colorado State’s defense looked against Hawaii – the same defense that gave up 617 yards to Hawaii. They look good, he said. They’re fast, he said. It’s going to be a tough game, he said.

Lies. Lies. And give me a break.

His comments were gamesmanship, clearly. He’s sarcastic. Doesn’t take media obligations too seriously, wearing his backpack to the weekly Tuesday press conference and quipping one-liners at every opportunity. He’s the kind of guy we like to talk to, but smart enough not to bite when we push him to admit how bad the Rams are.
