BOULDER — For the first time this season, the Colorado Buffaloes find themselves in the role of a heavy favorite Saturday when they play host to rival Colorado State in an 8 p.m. game at Folsom Field (ESPN).
Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders' 18th-ranked Buffs (2-0) are solid three-touchdown favorites over the 0-1 Rams, who opened the season with a 50-24 loss to Washington State, then took last weekend off to recover.
But it's a good bet Coach Prime won't allow his team to overlook this one. All he has to do is remind the Buffs that they were in the Rams' position just a couple weeks ago — and heavy underdog Colorado shocked the college football world by knocking off then-No.
