This years Rocky Mountain Showdown is my game of the day.
Colorado State
This is my game of the day because it is a huge rivalry game and both teams look very good. Colorado State is coming off a huge victory against the Oregon State Beavers. Colorado State did not look rattled starting off the season, they took what they wanted from a PAC 12 school and they outperformed them in every way. Colorado State beat Oregon State 58 - 27 and quarterback Nick Stevens had a great game with 334 yards passing and 3 touchdowns. They are looking to go 2-0 against PAC 12 schools and it couldn't make them happier to beat their biggest rival. Colorado is the favorite in this one but I think Colorado State can beat them but it will be a close game.
Colorado
Colorado is the favorite to win this game by only 3.5 points. Colorado has nothing but talent their quarterback Steven Montez is now the starter and he does have some great stats. Last year against Oregon he threw for 333 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he was the backup QB. He will be one of the biggest weapons for the buffs. The offense for Colorado is not the problem it is their defense. Colorado lost a lot of starters to the NFL last year, so their defense is pretty young. Aside from that they are a spectacular team who will be contending for the PAC 12 Championship this year.
Wrap Up
Im just going to say be prepared for a Rocky Mountain High shootout. Because both offenses are going to light it up. I personally think Colorado is going to win this one because they have pure talent on that team. But I would not be surprised if Colorado State wanted it more and takes advantage of the young Colorado defense. You can watch this game at 5:00 PM Pacific time on the PAC 12 Network.
