Colorado 31, North Dakota State 26. Thoughts?
- No such thing as a bad win. Hoping the Buffs build on the good and work on the bad ... two tough road rivalry games ahead. Still, 1-0 is 1-0 ... I'll take it (54%, 187 Votes)
- The Buffs have an elite passing offense, and the defense came to play in the second half. Tougher than expected, but glad the Buffs came through with a big win! (27%, 92 Votes)
- The naysayers are going to have a field day. This was likely the least talented team CU will play all year. It's early, but it may be another disappointing season ahead (19%, 66 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for the first game of the 2024 season. Colorado v. North Dakota State (6:00 p.m., MT, ESPN)
- I can see North Dakota State keeping it close for a half, but the Buffs will (eventually) take care of business. The line is 9.5, and the Buffs will cover in the end, but it won't be easy (52%, 155 Votes)
- It's been a long off-season, and it's time for Coach Prime and the Buffs to show how improved CU is ... Buffs in a rout! Enjoy the pleasant evening, Buff Nation! (27%, 81 Votes)
- It's the first game of the season, and the Bison will be highly motivated. Don't underestimate the underdog. Not necessarily saying NDSU will win, but it will be close. Take the Bison and the points (21%, 63 Votes)

The 2024 season marks the 30th anniversary of the record-setting 1994 team. Your memories?
- Like it was yesterday. The Miracle in Michigan, Rashaan Salaam's run to the Heisman, Coach Mac's surprise announcement, thumping Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl ... A memorable season! (84%, 218 Votes)
- Not really in my memory banks. Yes, I have seen Kordell Stewart's pass to beat Michigan, and Rashaan's 64-yard run to the Heisman, but I'm more of a 62-36 win over Nebraska guy (13%, 34 Votes)
- Way before my time. Happy for Buff fans who got to live with CU being a dominant team, but I am too young for these games to be anything stories from CU's storied past (3%, 7 Votes)

North Dakota State to start three red-shirt freshman on its offensive line. Thoughts?
- Probably too deep a dive for my taste. Let's just strap on the helmets and play some football. Either the Buffs are ready to play (and dominate) or they're not ... time to find out! (71%, 170 Votes)
- Well, one's a redshirt sophomore who hasn't played, but I get the idea. CU's defensive line will have a field day ... and I'm looking forward to watching the carnage (15%, 36 Votes)
- The two offensive tackles do have plenty of starting experience, so it will be up to CU's interior line to make NDSU pay ... and I'm not convinced CU can take advantage (14%, 33 Votes)

What is the biggest matchup issue concerning you as the North Dakota State game approaches?
- North Dakota's experienced defensive line v. CU's revamped offensive line. Can the CU offensive line protect Shedeur, and create holes for the running game? Fingers crossed (48%, 127 Votes)
- North Dakota State rushing for over 230 yards per game and having a rushing quarterback. Can the improved Buff defensive line keep the NDSU offense from controlling the ball (and the game)? (32%, 85 Votes)
- Honestly, I'm not worried about any of the matchups. Coach Prime has created a lineup which will challenge the best teams in the Big 12. NDSU is a good FCS team, but the Buffs will dominate (20%, 53 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??? 🙂
