Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on College Football’. Tonight, it is a Mountain West-PAC-12 football game, between Colorado State Buffaloes (0-1) and Colorado Buffaloes (2-0).

Coach Prime (Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders) has the college football world buzzing. He has got his Buffaloes defeating at TCU and a home victory vs. Nebraska. Now they get to play their in-state rival Colorado State, whose Head Coach took some jabs at Coach Prime.

Rams Head Coach Jay Norvell criticized Sanders for always wearing a hat and sunglasses. Deion is hoping that it will be chalkboard material. It will be a tall order for the university from Fort Collins.

Colorado State will look to Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi to lead the Rams in the passing game. Avery Marrow leads the Rams in rushing. While Justus Ross-Simmons leads the Fort Collins school in receiving.

For the Buffaloes, they are led by Shedeur Sanders in passing. Dylan Edwards leads Colorado University in rushing. While Xavier Weaver leads the Boulder University in receiving.

It is Colorado State Rams and Colorado Buffaloes, coming up shortly.​

Rams are in their traveling white jerseys, gold pants, and green & gold helmets. While the Buffs are in their home black uniforms.
