The Rams defense is good, Anchor so good that they held one of the more overpowering o“ensive lines in college football to 6 of 19 on third-down attempts. Last week CU ran all over a UMass team that won a whopping three games last season in the Mid-American Conference. The Bu“s won’t come anywhere near 400 yards on the ground against Tyson Summers’ tenacious de- fense. While this is a rivalry game, and anything can happen in rivalry matchups, the Rams should pick up the win and claim Colorado for the second-consecutive year.

Score: 24-16 Rams Geoff Huebner Prediction: CU isn’t Minnesota, it’s just that simple. Colorado Football had a cupcake game against UMass last week and if it thinks this week Reporter is going to be the same result, you can forget it. Minnesota had mas- sive players all over the field, and CSU was able to match them blow- for-blow until the very end. CU doesn’t match up well with CSU. The defensive line will be all over the field to stop Colorado’s run game on Saturday, you watch. Also look for Martavius Foster and Joe Kawulok to make some big plays in pass rushing situations. It looks like Nick Stevens will get the nod to start again at quarterback, so I’ll look for him to rebound from last week, and show that he is capable of leading this team. collegian.com The Rocky Mountain Collegian | Friday, September 18, 2015 15 Los Angeles Times Daily Crossword Puzzle 11 Metes out 12 Bygone pump word 13 Middle Ages colony residents 21 Sugar su£ x 22 Marx of lesser repute 24 Provide, as with talent 25 Lifestyle magazine 26 Host noted for a 1960 on-air resignation 29 Was loquacious 33 Classic military text by Carl von Clausewitz 35 Legislative VIPs 36 Touristy viticultural valley 37 Indecisive comment 38 Hardly fascinating 41 Capital of Cyprus 42 Statistical matrix, e.g. 43 Cruise partnership nickname 44 L’Oréal competitor 45 Altered, as a map 47 Mental wherewithal 48 GI grub 50 Wield power 52 Endangered Sumatran 54 Mythical troublemaker 57 Compact Cadillac sedan 58 Dustup Across 48 “Twelfth Night” servant 59 Hook relative 1 *Dejected 49 Deserve credit, perhaps 5 *Sledding spot 51 “Yes” 10 *Waterloo 53 Ancient Iranians Yesterday’s solution 14 Enclosed in 54 Thing on a bob 15 Electrical component 55 “__ guy walks into ... “ 16 Seaman’s direction 56 Actress Russell 17 9-Down sensors 57 Dinnertime attraction 18 Midwestern tribe 59 __ stick: incense 19 Show appreciation, in a way 60 Rare blood type, briefl y 20 “You shall hear more __ morn- 61 Memento ing”: “Measure for Measure” 62 Fifi ’s BFF SUDOKU 21 Shows a preference 63 *1964 Grammy-winning rock 22 Amethyst source ‘n’ roll song 23 Prognosticate 64 *Decrease 25 Struggling engine sound 65 *Musical starting point Yesterday’s solution 27 Me.-to-Fla. highway 28 Freudian subject Down 30 ‘60s radical gp. 1 “Watch out!” 31 *Data transfer 2 Spanish sherry 32 Crockett’s Waterloo 3 Rush hour timesaver, hopefully 34 Annoyed moviegoer’s shout ... 4 QB’s stats or what’s needed to make sense of 5 Feel one’s way the answers to starred clues 6 Took it easy 39 Onetime Silly String maker 7 “Fate is so cruel!” 40 *Faster way to fl y 8 Peer of Trygve and Kofi 43 Seafarer 9 Looker? 46 Bygone dentifrice 10 Aspect
