Yesterday was quite the day. So glad the Buffs won in an exciting game.

The QB talent on display for the rest of the afternoon into the evening was breathtaking. Tennessee’s Hooker and ‘Bama’s Young put on a display for the ages. And the Pac 12, although not a powerful conference, can boast some real talent at QB. The Utah game against USC, with Williams and Cam Rising battling it out, was also epic. Cam Rising is a deceptive incredible athlete and tough as nails. Along with DTR at UCLA, the Pac has QBs that play at a whole different level than CU. It’s just a fact of life. (Daniels at UWV and Slovis at Pitt are also Pac products.) It’s really quite remarkable, IMO.

Throw in QBs like the boy-next-door, Michigan’s McCarthy, and of course Stroud at OSU, among a pretty darn good list of others around the country, and fans have some real talent to view on Saturdays.

Terrific football Saturday yesterday. The NFL has nothing like it, IMHO.

I mean . . . I don't think Cal was all that good, but damn, night and day. Wilson should never be allowed to coach a DL or defense again.

Only issue I had with Defensive playcalling all day was on the last drive we played not to give up anything big and pressure was working all day. Other than that, pretty darn impressive showing.

Also, I'm pretty pissed if I'm Thomas, Chandler-Semedo, Lang because they showed what they could do today.

Let's see if we can keep that energy and pressure going forward.

We'll have a ton of content on the site on the days to come breaking down Colorado's first win of the season, but for now, we've got a transcript of everything Mike Sanford had to say after the victory

Hello everyone! Another beautiful day in Boulder for Mike Sanford and company to make their debut against the Golden Bears. Nothing too out of the ordinary today when it comes to the lineup. True freshman Van Wells back at center. Brady Russell who was day-to-day with a low grade ankle sprain is starting at TE for today's game.

Owen McCown making his third start today. JUCO transfer Jeremy Mack Jr. starting at free safety again, Isaiah Lewis is still out with a shoulder injury.

Trent Carrizosa is the Buffs' starting punter.

Good lord the P12 network is terrible

Great catch in the KU/OU game

By Kevin Warren? Sounds like the B1G could be getting some unwelcome pushback for raiding the Pac 12. Thoughts?

"So we’re going to have to be very intentional to make sure we integrate those relationships. The other thing is, we have to flawlessly integrate USC and UCLA. Because any further expansion – if we don’t handle USC and UCLA properly, then any further expansion becomes much more complicated than it should be."

KJ Simpson was the Buffs' explosive asset playing fearlessly and aggressively throughout his freshman season. Entering his sophomore season, HC Tad Boyle wants him to take a leading role.

"I think the biggest thing with KJ is he's got to bring the energy, open his mouth and lead this team," he said.

Joining Sam Houston and Jacksonville State who move up from D1AA next year

Went to my first High School football game since graduating myself. My 8th grader was at the Heritage game tonight checking it out as he decides which school to attend next year.
What a great atmosphere. So much fun with good ball being played, families having fun, cheer squad, band etc.
I can see the appeal. Definitely will do that again.
As an aside Heritage looks to have a few decent players.

We need a win - will we get it vs a weaker Cal team? Stay tuned.

Apologies for the delay on this. Had a few different things going on at once today.

But here, we answer the key questions facing CU heading into tomorrow's matchup with Cal. Will this team win a game the rest of the season? Who's CU's most logical coaching candidate? Who will win Saturday?

Tweet from Sowell's father:

Login to view embedded media
He finished the season with 2 catches and 23 yards. He's one of the many talented freshman who made their debuts this season. He's still eligible for a redshirt as he only played in four games.

Does Dorrell's departure change anything? No.

"No it doesn’t influence my commitment, I’m still committed to Colorado and I believe that Rick George will make the right choice. It sucks because I really liked Dorrell. He really brought me in and treated me like family, but it is what it is."
