Colorado will take aim at containing Washington running back Myles Gaskin this week.
BOULDER — Run the ball and stop the run.
No matter how the game of football changes, no matter how many exotic offenses and corresponding defenses are created, no matter how many different ways coaches try to spread the field, the ability to win the battle in the trenches is far more often than not the deciding factor.
Saturday's game between 3-0 Colorado and 3-0 Washington at Folsom Field (8 p.m., FS1) will almost certainly fit that bill. The last time the two teams met, in last year's Pac-12 championship game, the Huskies rushed for 265 yards; the Buffs ran for 82.
