BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Colorado quarterback Steven Montez revealed his true colors — the green of Colorado State and the red of Nebraska really aren't on his mind.

DENVER (AP) — Colorado quarterback Steven Montez's quip perhaps wasn't a show of disrespect toward Colorado State so much as a healthy dose of respect for his high-octane offense.
"There are a lot of weaknesses in that defense and we're going to try to exploit them as best we can," Montez said . "I expect us to score a lot of points."

This time, they came in as an 18-point darling against the Beavers (1-3, 0-1) and they handled their business.
