Who will be the starting placekicker for CU this year?
- Alejandro Mato ... Mato made 12-of-13 field goals and 50-of-51 extra points (with both misses coming on blocks). Oh, and he played for Coach Prime last year at Jackson State (40%, 81 Votes)
- Cole Becker ... Oh, wait, Becker is kicking for Utah this season. I'm still waiting to see if either of these kickers will be good enough to justify losing last season's starter (31%, 63 Votes)
- Jace Feely ... Feely comes to CU from another Power Five program (Arizona State), and, oh, he has known Coach Prime for longer than Mato (father Jay worked with Coach Prime at the NFL Network) (29%, 60 Votes)

What will Travis Hunter have to do to be considered as a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate?
- It's not going to happen this year. CU will have to have a decent season, and Travis will need to have a good (injury-free) season ... and then he'll be a legitimate candidate in 2024 (56%, 115 Votes)
- He needs to have an amazing pair of games to open the season. Lead CU to wins over TCU and Nebraska on national television and the candidacy will take care of itself (26%, 54 Votes)
- He'll have to earn first-team All-Pac-12 honors as both a cornerback and a wide receiver. Already a first-team preseason All Pac-12 CB (and honorable mention WR), he just needs a breakout season (18%, 38 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??? 🙂
