What do you like best about the potential starting lineup on defense for the 2023 campaign?
- That the influx of defensive line recruits (nine since the Spring Game) has helped turn the front of the defense from a huge concern to a potential strength (41%, 80 Votes)
- That other than Travis Hunter and Cormani McClain, all of the projected starters are upperclassmen (and I can live with having that pair of shutdown corners take the field as underclassmen) (35%, 68 Votes)
- That there are pass rushers aplenty in the front seven, some of whom had more sacks in the past year than CU posted as a team in 2022 (9 - dead last in the nation) (24%, 49 Votes)

Dan Patrick: "What if [Deion] goes 0-5? And he might. But that doesn’t mean that he won’t be successful”. Thoughts?
- I'm just enjoying CU being a part of the national narrative on a daily basis. You can't please everyone, so just ignore the noise and enjoy the ride! (62%, 157 Votes)
- I guess I must have missed out on "The Rise" in Ft. Collins. But the fact remains that CU has three ten-win teams and Nebraska in the first five games. A 1-4 start is not out of the question (26%, 67 Votes)
- What a joke! Yes, CU has to play TCU, Oregon and USC in the first month, but 0-5? Anyone who says "hey, they were 1-11 last year" has no clue about the 2023 Buff roster (12%, 29 Votes)

What do you like best about the potential starting lineup on offense for the 2023 Buffs?
- A no-brainer: having a quarterback with legitimate NFL aspirations in Shedeur Sanders. Last year, CU started four different QB's - none are even on a Power Five team this fall. 'Nuff said (52%, 129 Votes)
- Quality depth along the offensive line. CU may not have the best set of starters in the conference, but it is miles ahead of what CU had last season, and that is going to make a huge difference (25%, 61 Votes)
- Skill position talent. Four-star wide receivers and four-star running backs aplenty. I can't wait for Sanders & Co. to show how well they can run the fast-paced Sean Lewis offense (23%, 56 Votes)

The Pac-12 will be having in-game coach interviews and halftime locker room cameras. Thoughts?
- Not a fan. If you have seen the 30-second useless "interviews" with coaches as they walk off the field at halftime, you know how little value "in-game" interviews will have in the heat of battle (49%, 101 Votes)
- I like that this will give Coach Prime and some of his media savvy players get some more air time. This will only help CU and its efforts to stay on the national stage (44%, 91 Votes)
- I like it. Expanding the fan experience will help expand the game, and will help fans understand how games are unfolding in real time. A smart move (7%, 16 Votes)

What's been the best news so far in this busy week for CU and its fans?
- That CU received a commitment from Houston transfer running back Alton McCaskill. The running back room needed a strong, experienced back ... and they got one! (67%, 197 Votes)
- That CU received a commitment from four-star athlete Aaron Butler ... one of the highest-rated high school recruit in school history! (20%, 58 Votes)
- That Fox Sports has announced that the CU opener at TCU will be a part of its "Big Noon Saturday" production. Not bad for a 1-11 team! (13%, 37 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??? 🙂
