Source?Sounds like Seaton is swimming in it
That game is sitting at an 8.5 spread...I would not be surprised at all if NDSU pulled a stunner here. It is about as two polarizing of programs as are out there. Small town team that develops and does all of the little things right vs the big-name flashy school with virtually no discipline.He's gonna face a 24 year-old All-American vs North Dakota State. I guarantee that will be an immediate step up in competition for him.
Why do you say that so confidently? Is Colorado better than last year?Colorado will cover that. I would rather they not galvanize anyway

Certainly have the advantage of continuity from last year -Not a professional scout but I think they're marginally better across almost every position group. Certainly have the advantage of continuity from last year which they didn't have in '23 and they brought in better transfers than they did last year too. Impossible team to project given the structure of their organization. They're still a case study
NDSU is getting overrated due to their recent stretch and general hype around this game. Bit of a tumultuous offseason. I like Polasek and heard him talk ball a few times when he was at Cockeye but they won't have the dogs to keep up with CU. Bad matchup for them

If I'm being honest, it's the one game all year that I want Colorado to win...barely.That game is sitting at an 8.5 spread...I would not be surprised at all if NDSU pulled a stunner here.

I want Colorado to win only so that it looks better when we beat the ever living piss out of them.If I'm being honest, it's the one game all year that I want Colorado to win...barely.
You wouldn't CU thinking that NDSU was their wake-up call.
... or create in-fighting and finger pointing and start the team crumbling one week in.If I'm being honest, it's the one game all year that I want Colorado to win...barely.

I actually think CU will beat NDSU by 21 or more.Not a professional scout but I think they're marginally better across almost every position group.

Certainly possible, the two biggest differences between FCS and FBS is speed and size, and Colorado has speed at WR that NDSU will have issues with.I actually think CU will beat NDSU by 21 or more.
As you mentioned, CU is a terrible matchup for NDSU. CU has a massive advantage at QB+WR positions. This means that CU doesn't even have to be that great in the game but they can break the game open with 5-7 30 yd plays (which they will get). Then CU's crowd will go nuts etc.
They'll hit on these plays and then the NDSU CBs and safeties will start doubting themselves and the crowd goes nuts and it will turn into a blowout.
It's the perfect type of game for CU.
Also this isn’t the NDSU from a few years ago.I actually think CU will beat NDSU by 21 or more.

As other have pointed out, what continuity are you talking about?
They return three starters from last years offense. On top of that, their offense is replacing OC Sean Lewis with Pat Shurmur (a notoriously bad NFL OC), and O'Boyle is out as their OL Coach and is being replaced by Phil Loadholt (first year as a position coach). In additon to a few other offensive coaching changes, they also will be breaking in a first year DC, who also has zero years of experience coaching in college.
Colorado lost their best WR to the NFL, lost their best RBs and are completely replacing their OL with a true freshman LT, a LG who was third-team all FCS, a center who did start two games for them last year (not a compliment), UTEP's starting RG, and Indiana's RT last year (best OL IMO). Their first year OL coach is going to be asked to be a miracle worker...

That will be used as a halftime motivational device…I enjoy the discussion, I will respond from the bottom up:
Gun to my head?
I think that game goes 4 quarters and CU has to fight all game long. I believe they will win, but there will be moments where the ESPN cameras pick up shots of CU players acting like they're on a Netflix show.
Certainly have the advantage of continuity from last year -
Going to have to explain this to me.
