First Rocky Mountain Showdown in Fort Collins since 1996 today, and the Buffs have to have it. 1-2 with losses the last two weeks would be a disaster, so this is a big one. Buffs have won the last 6 in the series including the double OT thriller in Boulder last season.
Some injury updates:
Tory Horton is going to play for CSU, though it's unclear how healthy he is. Only practiced on Friday this week, so something to keep an eye on.
For CU, LaVonta Bentley (foot) is going to play.
Dallan Hayden never had an official injury designation, but looked like a lower leg injury late in the game last week that will keep him out tonight.
Shilo Sanders is out, Carter Stoutmire is the likely starter in his place.
Chidozie Nwankwo is out with that shoulder injury he suffered last week, a huge loss especially on early downs.
Cornerback and special teamer Isaiah Hardge is also out.
Keeping an eye on the offensive line as well and if they shuffle things around, especially on the right side.
