Coach Prime had Camden "The Governor" Dempsey get up in front of the team to talk about the history of the CU/NU rivalry. Thoughts?
- Love it! Even with a number of holdovers from last year, it's important for the new players to understand exactly how important this game is to the fans - and how fired up the Cornhuskers will be (42%, 95 Votes)
- Good idea, but it should only be the start. There are plenty of former Buffs (including some in the Champions Center) who should be talking to the team every day. This game can't be undersold (39%, 89 Votes)
- Shouldn't be necessary. If these players can't get up for a game on national television, with 90,000 screaming fans cheering against them, then no speeches will help get them ready for Lincoln (19%, 44 Votes)

Joel Klatt: Colorado has two elite players, but the same old problems. Thoughts?
- Not an overreaction. If not for Shedeur and Travis, CU would have lost to an FCS team, and facing a bleak 2024 season ... not to mention being skewered in the national media this week (49%, 142 Votes)
- Nothing to see here. Klatt had CU with eight or nine wins, so he's just trying to establish some cover if the Buffs don't come through. If CU beats Nebraska, Klatt will be back in CU's corner (32%, 93 Votes)
- An overreaction. Yes, Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter are elite talents, but to say that CU hasn't improved its level of talent and has the same old problems is a stretch (19%, 57 Votes)

Colorado opens as a 6.5-point underdog on the road against Nebraska (Saturday, 5:30 p.m., MT, NBC). Thoughts?
- Can CU develop a run game in a week? The Buffs barely beat North Dakota State, and Memorial Stadium will be as loud as the Buffs have ever encountered. I'm not feeling good about this game ... (39%, 99 Votes)
- Sounds about right, actually. This will be a close game, so it would be a smart move to take CU, but I'm not ready to say that the Buffs are going to win this game (36%, 93 Votes)
- Take Colorado and the points! This line is going to move down over the next few days, as the nation realizes the Buffs are going to win this game! (25%, 63 Votes)

Which of the following Neill Woelk Takeaways from the ND State game to you is most on point?
- The Buffs learned a great deal, and still picked up a "W". ND State proved to be a good first game opponent - tough, but the Buffs were able to start 1-0 and build from there (55%, 123 Votes)
- Unforced errors were kept to a minimum. Only three penalties (none on the offensive line); one (fluky) turnover. Discipline helped keep the Buffs in the game long enough for CU's talent to take over (24%, 54 Votes)
- CU's depth has dramatically improved. The Buffs had some injury issues, but the backups stepped up. Defensive line depth helped in the second half, with NDSU having a big edge in time of possession (21%, 47 Votes)

Prediction after Game One: Will the Buffs be going bowling in 2024?
- Much too early to determine. This is Week One, which means that this is overreaction Week One. Let's see how the Buffs do against the Cornhuskers and Rams before making this call (69%, 159 Votes)
- Yes. CU has a very good offense, and good pieces on defense. There aren't too many games CU will not have a chance in, and the Buffs only need five more wins to get to a bowl (22%, 50 Votes)
- Only if you are talking about going to a bowling alley. North Dakota State is a good FCS team, but is an FCS team. If the Buffs were on the brink against the Bison, where do you see five other wins? (9%, 23 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??? 🙂
