As we did throughout there preseason here on Stampede Blue, it’s time for our first regular season edition of Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down. It sure was an ugly 28-16 loss for the Colts in their opener, dropping their eighth straight to begin a new season.
What stood out, the good and the bad? We’ll cover the bases here, so let’s dive right into it!
