When:<\/strong> 5 p.m., Sept. 2.<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> Canvas Stadium, Fort Collins<\/p>\n Lowest get-in price as of Week 1 (VividSeats.com):<\/strong> $36<\/p>\n Why you can\u2019t miss it:<\/strong> Jay Norvell\u2019s Rams have had payback on their minds, and their lips, for the last 10 months. Wazzu blitzed CSU by 31 points last September in Pullman, so we\u2019ll find out just how far the Rammies have come in Norvell\u2019s second season right from the jump.<\/p>\n CU vs. Nebraska<\/strong><\/p>\n When:<\/strong> 10 a.m., Sept. 9<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> Folsom Field, Boulder<\/p>\n Lowest get-in price as of Week 1 (VividSeats.com):<\/strong> $260<\/p>\n Why you can\u2019t miss it:<\/strong> Come on. Do you even need to ask?<\/p>\n CU vs. CSU<\/strong><\/p>\n When:<\/strong> 8 p.m., Sept. 16<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> Folsom Field, Boulder<\/p>\n Lowest get-in price as of Week 1 (VividSeats.com):<\/strong> $128<\/p>\n Why you can\u2019t miss it:<\/strong> See Week 2. First Rocky Mountain Showdown in four years (thanks, COVID). First Rams visit to Boulder in 14 years. While the Buffs are riding a five-game win streak in the series, and the last two Showdowns (\u201918 and \u201919) have gotten fairly ugly, Rams fans are hoping to spring a trap on Big Brother: CSU gets a bye before this one while the Buffs are busy entertaining the Huskers (and Nebraska fans).<\/p>\n CSU Pueblo vs. Mines<\/strong><\/p>\n When:<\/strong> 2 p.m., Sept. 23<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> ThunderBowl, Pueblo<\/p>\n Lowest get-in price as of Week 1 (for an adult, via CSU Pueblo athletics):<\/strong> $9<\/p>\n Why you can\u2019t miss it:<\/strong> The two best teams in the Rocky Mountain Conference \u2014 and two of Division II\u2019s elite gridiron programs \u2014 also happen to be one of the best local options during a wild weekend, given that CU is at Oregon; CSU is at Middle Tennessee; and UNC is visiting Cody Hawkins\u2019 squad at Idaho State. The Orediggers have won six of the last eight in the series, including four straight, and haven\u2019t lost to CSU Pueblo on the road since 2017.<\/p>\n CU vs. USC<\/strong><\/p>\n When:<\/strong> TBD, Sept. 30<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> Folsom Field, Boulder<\/p>\n Lowest get-in price as of Week 1 (VividSeats.com):<\/strong> $128<\/p>\n Why you can\u2019t miss it:<\/strong> CU has never beaten USC in football. Deion Sanders has never faced USC as a head coach. Lincoln Riley vs. Coach Prime is going to have the networks salivating, even if the Buffs happen to be 1-4 or 0-5 going into the weekend. And they shouldn\u2019t be.<\/p>\n Wyoming vs. Fresno State<\/strong><\/p>\n When:<\/strong> TBD, Oct. 7<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> Memorial Stadium, Laramie, Wyo.<\/p>\n Lowest get-in price as of Week 1 (VividSeats.com):<\/strong> $20<\/p>\n Why you can\u2019t miss it:<\/strong> The Pokes haven\u2019t beaten the \u2018Dogs since 2014. They haven\u2019t scored a touchdown on Fresno since 2017. And they haven\u2019t won a game in this series in Laramie since 1996. Something\u2019s gotta give, right?<\/p>\n CU vs. Stanford<\/strong><\/p>\n When:<\/strong> 8 p.m., Oct. 13<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> Folsom Field, Boulder<\/p>\n Lowest get-in price as of Week 1 (VividSeats.com):<\/strong> $142<\/p>\n Why you can\u2019t miss it:<\/strong> Welcome to Friday the 13th, under the lights, and welcome to what might be the only home Pac-12 game in which the Buffs are actually the favorites going in.<\/p>\n Western Colorado vs. New Mexico Highlands<\/strong><\/p>\n When:<\/strong> 1 p.m., Oct. 21<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> Mountaineer Bowl, Gunnison<\/p>\n Lowest get-in price as of Week 1 (for an adult, via Western Colorado athletics):<\/strong> $10<\/p>\n Why you can\u2019t miss it:<\/strong> Western wideout Victory David is a threat to take it to the house \u2014 and get you out of your seat \u2014 every time he touches the rock. The Nevada speedster, who also ran track for the Mountaineers as a freshman and sophomore, led the RMAC last fall in kick return average (32.0) and longest return (100 yards).<\/p>\n CSU vs. Air Force<\/strong><\/p>\n When:<\/strong> 5 p.m., Oct. 28<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> Canvas Stadium, Fort Collins<\/p>\n Lowest get-in price as of Week 1 (VividSeats.com):<\/strong> $31<\/p>\n Why you can\u2019t miss it:<\/strong> Good news for Rams faithful? Over the last 20 tussles in the rivalry, dating back to 2002, whenever CSU scores at least 28 points, it\u2019s got a 5-1 record in the series. Less good? CSU\u2019s managed to hit that mark just three times since 2010 and has averaged just 18.3 points vs. the Zoomies over its last four meetings.<\/p>\n CSU at Wyoming<\/strong><\/p>\n When:<\/strong> 5 p.m., Nov. 3<\/p>\n Where:<\/strong> Memorial Stadium, Laramie, Wyo.<\/p>\n Lowest get-in price as of Week 1 (VividSeats.com):<\/strong> $27<\/p>\n Why you can\u2019t miss it:<\/strong> Because even if Norvell and Wyo coach Craig Bohl seem to like each other, their respective fan bases absolutely, unequivocally, do not. And never, ever will.<\/p>\n Air Force vs. Army<\/strong><\/p>\n When<\/strong>: 12:30 p.m., Nov. 4<\/p>\n Where<\/strong>: Empower Field at Mile High<\/p>\n Lowest get-in price as of Week 1 (VividSeats.com)<\/strong>: $40<\/p>\n Why you can\u2019t miss it<\/strong>: Two games in one weekend? Well, when the service academies meet at the Broncos’ stadium \u2014 an Empower Field first \u2014 with the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy potentially on the line, that’s a can’t miss.<\/p>\nWeek 2 (Sept. 7-9)<\/h4>\n
