We have officially hit the three-week mark in our countdown to Colorado Buffaloes football. As we roll into the weekend, it would be the best time to highlight what a Friday night home opener means to CU.
The Buffaloes have opened on a Friday seven times in their history, going 5-2 in that stretch, and winning the last five games under the Friday night lights. Here are some other tidbits courtesy of CUBuffs.com:
This will be the eighth time in school history the Buffaloes will open a season on a Friday night, the first time back in 1964 at USC; but it’s only the second time that Folsom Field, entering its 99th year, will host a Friday season lid-lifter. The other time was last year against Northern Colorado; the other five all took place in Denver against Colorado State.
