Colorado vs. Stanford: TV Schedule, Radio, Game Time and More

Colorado will travel to Stanford to take on the No. 7 Cardinals. Colorado has been abysmal this season and Stanford is right on track to earn a BCS berth.

This will be the first time these two teams have met as conference rivals and this is just Colorado's second Pac-12 game.

They were welcomed to conference play last week with a tough 31-27 loss to Washington State. I am sure Stanford is anxious to show them the best the Pac-12 has to offer.

BCS/Top 25 Poll Implications

This game will only have implications if Stanford loses or struggles. They could win by 80 and not improve their perception in voters eyes. 


Key Storyline

This game will be an excellent chance to watch the best QB prospect in all the land Andrew Luck strut his stuff. Stanford should have their way with Colorado and Luck is going to pick this defense apart.

There is the very real possibility that Luck will have more touchdowns than incompletions in this one.

What They're Saying: Both of these programs have first year head coaches. ESPN speaks about the different challenges facing both of them.

"Shaw took over when Jim Harbaugh left to coach the San Francisco 49ers. The former Cardinal offensive coordinator inherited a team that went 12-1 in 2010 and became a preseason national contender when Heisman Trophy runner-up Luck opted to return to school.

Embree, meanwhile, was hired to resurrect a program that had endured five straight losing seasons heading into its first year in the Pac-12.

Colorado Player to Watch: Tyler Hansen

Colorado is suffering through a miserable season, but luckily their QB has had a decent year. He has thrown 1325 yards and 11 touchdowns and only two interceptions.

Stanford Player to Watch: Andrew Luck

Luck is the marquee player in college football. Watch him every chance you can get.

Key Matchup: Stanford vs. Themselves

There is no reason for Stanford to do anything but dominate. The only reason they won't is if they come out asleep and overconfident.

Prediction: Stanford 49, Colorado 17
