BOULDER — One matchup that will have everybody's eye in Friday night's Rocky Mountain Showdown will be Colorado's veteran receiving corps against a CSU secondary that starts a pair of sophomores, including one converted wide receiver.
The Rams do have a pair of relative veterans in senior cornerback Kevin Nutt Jr. (12 career starts) and sophomore safety Jamal Hicks (six starts). But they are paired with sophomore Anthony Hawkins (first career start at corner last week) and senior safety Jordan Fogal (first career start last week).
The Buffs, meanwhile, bring a veteran receiving corps into the game, a group that includes seniors Shay Fields, Devin Ross and Bryce Bobo, along with junior Jay MacIntyre.
