CU Buffs & CSU Rams BOTH 2‑0 for First Time Since 1994: Who looks better in Week 3?

On The Drive, we break down two massive Colorado football storylines.

First, can CSU pull off a shocking upset against the #11 ranked BYU Cougars? Jim Mora’s Rams have shown surprising speed and RPO creativity, and the betting spread has already moved from 21 to 17.5 — a sign that professional bettors see upset potential. What would it mean if CSU hangs tight or even shocks BYU in Fort Collins?

Then, we dive into Coach Prime’s mindset at CU. Deion Sanders isn’t satisfied with highlights or player‑of‑the‑week awards — he’s striving for ultimate victory. What does his drive for greatness reveal about the Buffs’ future, and how could his vision reshape expectations for Colorado football?

This is the full breakdown of upset alerts, betting intrigue, and championship ambition in Colorado.
