The Colorado Buffaloes will take on the Northern Colorado Bears on Friday, Sept. 3, in their home opener at Folsom Field. Colorado is 10-2 all-time against the Bears with their first meeting dating back to 1900. Friday will mark the Buffaloes’ 132nd season opener and they currently stand at 82-44-5 in those games.
After a COVID-shortened six-game 2020 season, the Buffaloes will play a normal 12-game season. While the Buffaloes had a shortened season last year, Northern Colorado did not play a single game. The opener will make it 650 days since the Bears last played in a football game.
