Year four of the Mike McIntyre era at Colorado will start on Friday, about 40 miles from Boulder at the home of the Broncos, Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver. This may be the biggest game in McIntyre’s tenure at Colorado, a rivalry game against the pesky Colorado State Rams of the Mountain West Conference.
While most Colorado fans don’t want to acknowledge that this game is a rivalry game, players on both teams and the Colorado State fan base sure believe it is. There are multiple things the Buffaloes must show to walk away with a win in the 2016 season opener.
