Colorado will once again have the chance to capture the college football world’s attention with its Thursday opener against North Dakota State and Week Two showdown at Nebraska.
The Buffs will be better than their 4-8 record last year, but they’re not a top-tier Big 12 team. ‘Locked On Buffs’ host Kevin Borba joins the show to discuss.
On today’s episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by ‘Locked On Jayhawks’ host Derek Johnson.
Their schedule aligns for a real path to the Big 12 title game–if Jalon Daniels stays healthy. Arizona State was picked LAST in the preseason media poll entering their first season in the Big 12.
The Sun Devils’ schedule makes it hard to reach a bowl game amidst their rebuild, but they should be able to win more games than last season.
‘Locked On Sun Devils’ host Richie Bradshaw joins the show to predict ASU’s record. (22:25)
