FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Colorado State fans have been waiting over two decades for the chance to host the Rocky Mountain Showdown.

BOULDER — Dimitri Stanley will be a major piece of Colorado's offense.

As a redshirt freshman in 2019, Stanley started nine games at wide receiver for the Buffaloes, catching 24 passes for 236 yards and a pair of touchdowns. On top of that, Stanley learned a few lessons.

"I just learned how much faster the game is — like what pace I have to play and the standard I have to hold myself to, being able to be accountable and have my teammates relying on me to make big plays," Stanley told reporters Thursday.

Then he paused.
