The Colorado Buffaloes (1-0, NR Pac-12) took care of business in the Rocky Mountain Showdown last Friday and now move on to a first-ever meeting with the Idaho State Bengals (1-0, NR Big Sky). The Division II opponent comes to Boulder after a solid 47-3 win against Canada’s Simon Fraser University Clan and will face their first of back-to-back Pac-12 conference games (at Oregon State, 9/17).
Bengals quarterback Tanner Gueller threw for a career-best 338 passing yards last week against the Clan, just two scores shy of his entire total from last season. The win was also the first career start for the Rochester, Wash native, who grew up less than an hour away from the hometown of Buffs quarterback Sefo Liufau in the Seattle-Tacoma area.
