BOULDER – The Colorado Buffaloes now have kickoff times for their first three games (essential) and TV networks to broadcast those contests (not as essential.)

Colorado will open their season against Colorado State on Friday, Sept. 1, and that will kickoff at 6:00 p.m. MDT. The game which will be played at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver will be televised nationally by the Pac-12 Network. The Buffs own a 64-22-2 lead in the series including a 44-7 win last year.

The Buffs return home to Folsom Field for a matchup with the Texas State Bobcats on Saturday, Sept. 9. That game and the next one against Northern Colorado on Saturday, Sept. 16 will both kickoff at Noon.

The rest of the scheduled kickoff times will be announced as the season progresses.
