“We’ve been thinking about this game for a long time,” stated Rams’ defense back Jack Howell, talking about rival Colorado before the start of the Rocky Mountain Showdown. Hope you got a sense of how intense today’s game between the Buffs and Rams will be. The players are really pumped up and ready to go.

The last time CSU hosted the Rocky Mountain Showdown was in 1996. More than 36,000 fans watched No. 5 Colorado win 48-34. Well, for years, the Buffs have been on top. Even last year, they beat Colorado State 43-35 in double overtime. Now, this season, CSU has a chance to get back at CU for their previous loss. But you know without a sports commentator or analyst, the fans would find ‘The Game‘ boring. Because commentary breathes life into the matchup and engages the viewer. And here comes the broadcast crew, ready to call this exciting rivalry game.

This season, the Buffs’ broadcast team features play-by-play announcer Mark Johnson, color analyst Gary Barnett, and sideline reporter Bobby Pesavento to keep the games exciting. Barnett, the former coach with experience at Colorado, is sure to bring his unique perspective. Meanwhile, the Rams’ crew includes Brian Roth (play-by-play), Ricky Brewer (analyst), and possibly Marty Cesario or Kevin McGlue on the sidelines, adding a fun twist to their coverage.

These crews help us catch every detail of the game—from player names and scores to remaining time and more. You can catch this exciting matchup on CBS, Fox, or ESPN this Saturday at 5:30 p.m. MT. Well, both Colorado Buffaloes and Colorado State come into the game with a 1-1 record, putting in their best effort to make it 2-1. It’s sure shaping up to be a great weekend treat for college football fans!

Colorado Buffaloes Vs. CSU Rams

Coach Prime and the Buffs recently suffered a humiliating 28-10 loss in Lincoln to the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Albeit, the team won their first game this season. Likewise, the Rams defeated Northern Colorado 38–17 to record their first victory of the year. But they lost one game against Texas. Now, the scenario is equal for both teams, so winning this game is mandatory for them to stay in the race of winning.

And how can we forget the incredible moments from last year’s matchup? Almost a million people tuned in on ESPN, with a total of around 9.3 million viewers, making it one of the most-watched college football games of the year. Could it bring the same excitement this year? It’s definitely possible, especially with the intensity of a rematch. Even CSU’s head coach, Jay Norvell, said, “A game we should’ve won,” hinting at a bit of payback, much like Nebraska.

So, get ready for a thrilling Saturday night—it’s bound to be full of surprises and lots of fun!
