Game predictions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Matt Schubert, sports editor:<\/strong> This place is ready to explode. Will the Buffs deliver in Coach Prime’s debut? That probably boils down to this: stopping Nebraska’s run game. Given what happened last week against TCU, that’s not a given. But …\u00a0Colorado 27, Nebraska 21.<\/p>\n

Kyle Newman, sports reporter:<\/strong>\u00a0 It comes down to the wire and the Huskers physicality is all the Buffs can handle. But ultimately, the Colorado defense shows some backbone in the second half and Shedeur Sanders\u2019 late TD pass to Xavier Weaver is the difference. CU 28, Nebraska 27.<\/p>\n

Pre-game updates<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fashion critique (9:08 a.m.):<\/strong> Love CU’s black jerseys, but are we sure this was the game to break them out for? The sun is absolutely baking. Feels like white would’ve been the way to go today. — Matt Schubert<\/p>\n

(9:01 a.m.):<\/strong> Historically the Buffs have been the little brother to Nebraska, who owns a 49-20-2 mark against Colorado including 23-11-2 in Boulder. But CU has won both meetings since both teams left Big-12 in 2010, the last one 34-31 in OT in 2019. \u2014 Kyle Newman<\/p>\n

(8:50 a.m.):<\/strong> Matt Schubert is \u201cguaranteeing\u201d that the Folsom Frenzies will storm the field if CU wins today, by blowout or by last-second dramatics. I would probably also put money down on that prop. \u2014 Kyle Newman<\/p>\n

College rules (8:46 a.m.):<\/strong> The student section is roughly 75% full … and they are IN A LATHER more than an hour before kickoff. Over\/under on hours slept over the last day: 0.5. And I’m taking the under. — Matt Schubert<\/p>\n

Early arrival (8:16 a.m.):<\/strong> As of 7:20 a.m. US 36 westbound was already backed up slow-and-go 10 miles outside of Boulder. Gonna be a packed day at Folsom Field and the land surrounding. \u2014 Kyle Newman<\/p>\n
