Which position would you most like to see bolstered this weekend as CU coaches turn their attention to the defensive side of the ball?
- Defensive tackle. If you don't have a run stopper in the middle of the line, everything else gets difficult. If you have a beast in the middle, other defenders are freed up to make plays (57%, 178 Votes)
- Linebacker. Perhaps the weakest unit on the defense. The unit which needs the most improvement is in the middle of the defense, both in run support and defending the short pass (29%, 90 Votes)
- Edge rushers. If you can get after the quarterback, you can change an opponent's game plan. CU really needs some beasts to sign on and step up (14%, 44 Votes)

CU picks up a commitment from graduate transfer guard Matthew Bedford from Indiana. Thoughts?
- Really, really like this pick up. A four-year starter with experience everywhere on the line except center, and has is coming with a teammate, Kahlil Benson. One side of the line already in place? (55%, 143 Votes)
- CU is now up to 17 scholarship offensive lineman. A huge upgrade in the roster in just a week. How long before critics start wondering if CU has too many offensive linemen? (30%, 78 Votes)
- Last year, we had two teammates who came in from Kent State (who came with their line coach and OC), and, well, that didn't work out so well. Fingers crossed this pair will be better (15%, 38 Votes)

North Dakota State's head coach, Matt Entz, has been hired as an assistant coach by USC. Thoughts?
- I'm guessing/assuming that since Coach Prime coached at the FCS level, he will not be taking NDSU for granted, and will have the Buffs ready, whether NDSU is good or not (58%, 140 Votes)
- Not a story. Yes, CU has to play North Dakota State to open the 2024 season, but if CU has to worry about the Bison, then the rest of the season will be impossible (27%, 65 Votes)
- Good news. Buff fans will be learning over the next nine months that North Dakota State has won its last six games against FBS competition, so nothing can be taken for granted (15%, 36 Votes)

Travis Hunter named first-team Associated Press All-American. Thoughts?
- Well deserved. No other player in the country was on the field for over 1,000 plays this fall, so naming Hunter the best all-purpose player in the nation was a no-brainer. Congrats! (63%, 161 Votes)
- With the games Hunter missed, it boggles the mind what Hunter might do next year, with a better offensive and defensive lines making his production even greater (22%, 56 Votes)
- I'm just happy that CU finally has a first-team All-American again (first time since Nate Solder in 2010 ... the longest drought for the University of Colorado since the Great Depression) (15%, 38 Votes)

Which of the following events of the past week will have the longest positive impact on CU?
- Adding five-star OL Jordan Seaton and four-star WR Dre'lon Miller to the Recruiting Class of 2024 ... two of CU's highest rated recruits of all-time (plus Coach Prime proves he can recruit linemen) (47%, 158 Votes)
- Adding four offensive lineman from the Transfer Portal in one weekend. The line went from a weakness to a potential strength in one weekend. This could be a turning point for the program (34%, 116 Votes)
- The CU men's basketball team dominating No. 15 Miami, 90-63, in Brooklyn. Come March, we could be looking back at this game as the turning point of the season (19%, 63 Votes)

The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
