Homecoming

Through The Uprights
- Junior kicker Jamie Falloon took over field goal and PAT duties for the team. Falloon came up big in his first game as the kicker, making two FG's one from 28 yds and the other from 38 yds out. Falloon is now 3-3 on the season.

Back To The Future

- The Bears have good fortune on games played on Oct. 17. They sit with an all-time record of 8-2, including winning the last three matchups. The most recent win came in 2009, downing Idaho State, 30-7.

Break Ups
- Junior Safety Taylor Risner has five PBUs on the season with six games left to play.

Is It Fall Yet?
- Colorado is still boasting perfect weather in Mid-October. The high for Saturday's kickoff is 74 degrees with a low 43 and 0% chance of rain, so no need to break out the winter jackets yet.
