By the time CBS was able to switch from the Syracuse game to Colorado’s game against Colorado State last Friday night, the Buffs were up 14-0 and well on their way to a blowout victory over their cross-state rivals. An impressive start, to be sure, but it needs to be tempered by the knowledge that Colorado State is really, really struggling this season. The week prior, the Rams used the “Week Zero” rule to open the season against Hawai’i, who has resurrected their explosive run-and-shoot attack that got the Warriors to the Sugar Bowl during the BCS era. Hawai’i rolled up over 600 yards on the Rams and took a commanding 37-7 lead in the third quarter.
