What to Know
Colorado is 2-0 with a 14-13 road win at Georgia Tech and a 52-21 win over Weber State. The Georgia Tech result is the better one by a distance, and scoring 14 points there means the offense is unproven against a real defense. Northwestern has played exactly once, beating South Dakota State 34-18, and has been off since September 5. That two week gap this early usually helps the team taking it, though rust cuts the other way.
The full breakdown is on our Colorado vs. Northwestern page, and the rest of the weekend is on the Week 3 schedule.
The Bottom Line
Colorado plays at Northwestern on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET on FOX, at Martin Stadium rather than Ryan Field.
