The Stakes
BYU arrives at 3-0, ranked 25th in the AP poll, with momentum from non-conference play. Jake Hatch notes: “Things are going well in Provo… The Cougars are excited to match up with the Buffaloes.” For Colorado, this game stings after a tough Alamo Bowl: “That bowl game, man, that was rough,” Manny reflects. “Buffs weren’t ready to go.” With Folsom’s energy, a closer game is expected.

Manny and Jake highlight the rarity of BYU playing at Folsom Field: “That’s older than me,” Manny chuckles. The Big 12 realignment revives this matchup, exciting fans. “I really like the new Big Twelve… It’s just a lot of fun,” Manny says.

What to Watch
The Buffs must halt BYU’s potent run game and leverage their home crowd. A major recruiting weekend adds to the buzz: “There’s a huge recruiting weekend in Boulder… Just a huge, huge weekend,” Manny emphasizes.
