Quarterbacks Collin Hill of Colorado State and Steven Montez of Colorado say Rocky Mountain Showdown offers unique and special atmosphere. Kelly Lyell, kellylyell@coloradoan.com
Colorado quarterback Steven Montez feels like the team's old man that he is at times, a fifth year senior now in his third season as the starter.
At other times, he feels like he just arrived in Boulder from Del Valle, the young gunslinger with the golden arm who Colorado always felt like they were able to steal in recruiting simply because they were aware enough to recruit El Paso.
