This week, I will preview the 2016 football schedule and impact roster for the Colorado Buffaloes. The Buffs will be losing running back Christian Powell and wide receiver Nelson Spruce. Spruce leads the Pac-12 in all-time receiving yards, despite not making even one appearance in a bowl game. Colorado will bring back quarterback Sefo Liufau, running back Patrick Carr, and wide receiver Donovan Lee. However, Texas Tech quarterback Davis Webb will transfer to Colorado and may assume the starting quarterback job over Liufau.
Colorado opens the season with the Rocky Mountain Showdown against Colorado State. Colorado is used to playing against Power 5 teams unlike Colorado State. The Buffaloes will pull away with the victory 34-27. Colorado will get to relax against FCS Idaho State, winning 48-0. This would be a well-scheduled games, because Michigan is up next. Michigan will probably crush Colorado 42-7. Colorado will prove to be more formidable than last season. But Oregon will add to the losses by beating the Buffs 40-37 in a shootout. Colorado will get another win against Oregon State 35-24. USC will defeat Colorado 42-27, a much larger margin than last season's 27-24 USC victory. Arizona State will also beat Colorado 38-14. For the first time this season, Colorado will be below .500 winning percentage, now at 3-4. Stanford will blow out Colorado once again, 38-7.
After their bye week, the Buffaloes will play against the UCLA Bruins. In each season, Colorado just kept getting closer and closer to beating UCLA, but that will end with a UCLA 48-10 win. Arizona will beat up Colorado again 45-14. The Buffaloes will lose their final two games against Washington State 35-20 and Utah 34-24.
There is nothing new to expect here, CU fans. I predict that the Buffaloes will go 3-9 during the next season, another disappointment. Stay tuned, Pac-12 fans, for next week's preview on the Oregon Ducks!
