Head coach Karl Dorrell and Colorado made the decision to start true freshman Owen McCown last week and while the final score was not much different than the last three weeks, it appears that Colorado has a quarterback.

Colorado is entering their third straight game of being at least 21-point underdogs this weekend when UCLA rolls into Folsom.

Colorado is seeking some revenge this weekend. This time last year, CU welcomed Minnesota to Folsom Field where the Gophers blew out the Buffs 30-0.

Be careful what you wish for. After a season opener in which Brendon Lewis played most of the game, Colorado fans and cognoscenti were wondering why J.T. Shrout did not play more.

It was a frustrating season opener for Buffs fans as Colorado kept it close in the first half but ultimately got overpowered by TCU in the second half in a 38-13 loss.
