Rooney: CU Buffs passing eye test amid Pac-12 South Division woes

No offense to the visitors. Especially when its a credible foe that has reached FCS playoffs for 14 consecutive years.

Nevertheless, if the Colorado Buffaloes match the effort and intensity they displayed during the season's first two weeks in the home opener Saturday against New Hampshire, the Buffs will finish 3-0 in nonconference play with a bye on the horizon and a world of momentum on their sideline heading into Pac-12 Conference play.

A 3-0 start would have the Buffs needing just three wins in nine Pac-12 games to return to a bowl game for the second time in three seasons.
