The Angle(s): The rivalry battle for the Bronze Boot kicks off Week 1 with maximum stakes, as Colorado State enters a new era under head coach Jim Mora and begins its inaugural season in the Pac-12. Despite the home-field buzz and “Stripe Out” crowd expected at Canvas Stadium, I like the road underdog in this matchup.
Wyoming shutout Colorado State 28-0 in their previous meeting, physically dominating the line of scrimmage and completely stifling the Rams’ offensive rhythm. While CSU undergoes a major schematic overhaul under a new coaching staff, Wyoming brings back established core defensive continuity. In a high-emotions rivalry game where points are traditionally at a premium, catching a full field goal with the defensive side that dominated this matchup recently is a great position.
