WSU hosts OSU and UCLA visits to Utah as conference play begins in force.
The hottest story in college football faces one of the coolest programs in the sport Saturday when Colorado visits Oregon in the conference opener for both teams.Will coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes produce another massive TV audience?
We prefer to focus on an issue that has received little attention but will determine the course of the game: Are the Buffaloes capable of holding their own at the line of scrimmage?Using the starting offensive and defensive lines last week , we examined the personnel with an eye on two items: body size and recruiting stars.— CU's offensive linemen average 300 pounds per man, while Oregon's defensive linemen average 306 pounds. Yes, the Ducks are bigger.
