Friday night marks the 90th meeting between Colorado and Colorado State, a tilt that will take place once again in Denver. Colorado leads the all-time series 65-22-2, with the Buffs winning the last 3 games in the series, including a 17-3 win in 2017.
The two sides did not meet between 1958 and 1982, did not meet in 1984, and had two other hiatus periods, but have played now every season since 1995. During the current run (1995-2017), Colorado has won 15 times, with CSU winning 9 times. CSU last won a game in the series in 2014, a 31-17 win for the Rams.
Colorado has won 11 of the 17 meetings between the schools at Mile High Stadium in Denver.
In 2020, the schools will go back to a home and home format, and will be playing these games in Boulder and Fort Collins.
Colorado is 3-3-1 in games played in August all-time. The series is tied at 2 in games played in August.
Colorado is just 19-21-1 all-time playing in NFL venues.
Colorado State is coming off a 43-34 loss to Hawaii in zero week, a game in which the Rams were favored to win by double digits. They were down 37-7 before starting a rally that fell well short.
This will be just the 2nd time in CSU history that the Rams will have played twice in August, the first time coming in 2002, when CSU defeated Virginia and Colorado. The Rams are 8-3 all-time in the month of August.
