Colorado's run game is key matchup to watch against Weber State
Colorado's rushing attack could be the difference against a Weber State defense that allowed over 300 yards on the ground in its Week 1 loss.
The Colorado Buffaloes, riding high from their season-opening victory over Georgia Tech, will host Weber State in their home opener. The Buffaloes are heavy favorites in Week 2, with one crucial aspect to watch being their running game against Weber State's run defense. Weber State, currently at 1-1, recently struggled allowing a massive 368 rushing yards and 514 total yards against Southern Utah.
In contrast, Colorado has shown a strong emphasis on their rushing attack, rushing for 183 yards on 48 attempts in their previous game. For Weber State to stay competitive, they'll need to significantly curb Colorado's running game. Offensive coordinator Brennan Marion is expected to make early moves, and if the Wildcats' run defense falters as it did earlier, Weber State will face a tough day at Folsom Field.
Running back coach Johnnie Mack hinted at a possible rotation of backs, though he didn't predict it would be extensive. Expect a close game from Buffaloes Wire.
