Weekend Review, September 8, 2023

DENVER (KDVR) – You did it, football fans! College football started off with a bang last weekend, and now it’s the NFL’s turn.
Will Coach Prime and the Buffaloes keep the momentum going against Nebraska? And will Sean Payton help lead the Broncos out of their seven-year playoff drought?
This and much more is covered this week on Colorado Sports Night, Denver’s only nightly sports show.
GREAT AVAILABILITIES
Sean Drotar of Mile High Sports said Raiders week is important, but agrees with Payton that the AFC West Division games are all important.
DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen noted that Coach Prime “ran the course” in his debut with Colorado. Now it’s Payton’s turn after an eventful offseason with the Broncos.
Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post believes Russell Wilson is much more comfortable with the Broncos this season than he was last.
KOA Colorado’s Brandon Krisztal said the key to offense is systematically moving the ball down the field. He believes Payton’s offense will do just that.
Nikki Edwards of Rivals and CU Sports Nation said that if Nebraska wants to run the ball, the Buffs will counter and prevail by taking the lead early on offense.
