Rooney: CU Buffs take care of business, now true test begins

The Colorado Buffaloes took care of business. Now the fun begins.

If there was a script for a letdown for the Buffs — a mighty big if, mind you — there were elements in place Saturday at a sun-splashed Folsom Field.

There was an underwhelming opponent one week after an emotional rivalry battle, and also one week ahead of a road date against one of college football's all-time programs. Plus there was the specter of Idaho State coach Mike Kramer having done it before, authoring one of the more forgettable days in CU football history when his Montana State club escaped Folsom with a 19-10 win on opening day in 2006.
