For the second straight year, the football teams of Colorado and Colorado State will battle on Sunday evening, this time to accommodate television.
This year’s game was moved to Sept. 6 — instead of Sept. 5 — and will be played on CU’s Folsom Field. FSN Rocky Mountain requested a 5 p.m. kickoff, which was granted.
The 2008 meeting at Invesco Field also was televised by FSN Rocky Mountain.
According to the network, it registered a 12.3 rating in the Denver area, the highest rating ever for a college football game on FSN Rocky Mountain. It also became the most-watched regular-season game for any sport on the network.
Colorado won last year’s meeting 38-17.
Last year’s game was moved to Sunday because of the Democratic National Convention, relieving emergency personnel.
CU leads the all-time series with CSU 59-19-2, dating back to 1893. The Buffs have won five of the past seven games, although six of those games have been decided by seven points or less.
