SB Nation Big 12 Preview: Colorado Buffaloes Team Capsule
The Ralphie Report —
... Sept 11th - @ Toledo Rockets: the proverbial trap game with only five days rest. It is a Friday night game on the road against a team with a new coach; yes, a little scary. Like Colorado State, Toledo returns a lot of offensive line experience. Couple all of that with the dismal road record under Dan Hawkins (only 2 wins in three years) and the Buffs could be in more trouble than we would like to believe. That being said, Colorado has the more talented team and should win by double digits. Prediction: W (2-0) ...

... and the Toledo Rockets . I know that some aficionados have picked Ohio - namely Phil Steele - but even before his publication came out this spring I liked Ohio to win everything. Why? I really like their QB Boo Jackson. I know they have an open competition right now but I expect him to come out on top. I saw him nearly beat my CMU team - Boo was stripped in the end zone in the final minutes of the game to preserve our win. And I watched him dismantled an Akron team that was playing for an outside shot to MAC Championship game in November. With Toledo they bring so much talent ...

... and Toledo Rockets. There’s only one player in this game that’s highly regarded at his position and that’s Toledo safety Barry Church. At 6-foot-1, 219 pounds, Church has transformed his game from a playmaker to a steady defender who’s solid against the run. He’s an intelligent player that positions himself to consistently make plays and gives maximum effort down after down. He’s disciplined in his approach and keeps the action in front of him. He shows good awareness in the secondary, provides help over the top in ...

Four Years Later, This Isn't Right
The Ralphie Report —
... The Toledo Rockets continued to send the Colorado Buffaloes football program into a tailspin, beating the team from Boulder 54 - 38 in a game that wasn't even that close. Toledo quarterback Aaron Opelt amassed 428 total yards and six touchdowns. There were a few plays that could be labeled as embarrassing last night for the Buffs but none more shocking than Opelt, who would probably tell you he is not the world's greatest athlete, ran 61 yards, right through the middle of the Buffs defense for six points. Untouched.
