SportsTranscript
00:00It is Colorado hosting FCS power North Dakota State. A 9.5
00:07point spread in favor of CU. The over under slightly on the
00:11uptick at 59 and a half. Donnie, you have called this
00:14game and I think correctly so. A referendum entering year
00:18number two of the prime era under Deion Sanders in
00:21Colorado. What will the referendum say on a Friday
00:25morning following tonight's season opener for Colorado? I'd
00:29be hard pressed to see if they lost because also keep in mind
00:32maybe you would expect this loss last year in the Deion's
00:34first season, but you had that entire off season to get this
00:37team ready to go. You have a quarterback that's supposed to
00:39be probably a top five player, if not higher in the draft,
00:42you're supposed to win these football games going away
00:44against lesser competition, but you can also say where are the
00:47issues last year been on the Colorado squad? It was on the
00:51offensive line. They just couldn't block so then you take
00:53a look at their supposed starters this year. No
00:56returning starters back so it's a complete line change on that
00:59offensive line to see if these guys can actually block. Now,
01:02again, if you have a quarterback of that talent, two
01:05starting wide receivers coming back that should be able to get
01:07open against anybody. You should be able to move the
01:09football at will tonight and even if your defense isn't that
01:12great, you still should be able to put this team away and also
01:15if Colorado does win tonight, they don't get any bonus points
01:18for being an FC beating an FCS team. They're supposed to do
01:21that on their home field, but if they do lose that sends things
01:25maybe spiraling for the rest of part of the season, but for my
01:28money and this isn't coming from hey, I dug into the X and
01:31O's Colorado is supposed to win the football game and I would
01:33be really surprised if they didn't.
