Wake Up, Bronco Nation: 9-4-14

Colorado State with key injuries for Boise State matchup

Colorado State defeated in-state rival Colorado last Friday, but paid the price with some key injuries. LT Ty Sambrailo and TE Kivon Cartwright will be held out of Saturday's game and both are key contributors for the Rams as well as preseason award watch-listers (Lombardi for Sambrailo and Mackey for Cartwright). It also looks like CSU will be without the services of linebacker Kevin Davis this weekend.

What do Jim McElwain and Bryan Harsin have in common?

They both played for the late Pokey Allen.

"He'd give you anything. He never asked for anything in return. Players who played for him loved him."

Jeremy Ioane and his majestic beard

Mmmm. Flounder.

In the post-Kellen era, the Broncos have scored just 8 TDs in 90 attempts against Power 5 conference teams. That's bad.

I answered some questions from CSU blogger Nolan Lees

"Queries" more accurately.

Still tickets left for Saturday's game

A lot of tickets, in fact. Grab a few.
