BRONCOS WILL CONTINUE WITHOUT CHAMP
ENGLEWOOD (AP) – Champ Bailey is torn between gratitude and regret as he watches the Denver Broncos steamrolling opponents without him. The perennial Pro Bowl cornerback missed all of September after injuring his left foot in the second week of the preseason.As the first snow of the season blasted the Denver area on Friday, Bailey still wasn’t able to do everything at practice and was listed as questionable for the game at Dallas (2-2) this weekend.Coach John Fox stressed the Broncos (4-0) aren’t going to take any chances with Bailey at less than 100 percent.
CU BUFFS HOST NUMBER 2 OREGON SATURDAY AFTERNOON
BOULDER (AP) – The Colorado Buffaloes want to see Marcus Mariota play a full game because at least that would mean they’re still hanging around.The sophomore quarterback operates the fast-paced offense of No. 2 Oregon with such efficiency that he’s only played four complete games in his career – and none this season.Usually, Mariota’s chilling on the sideline for the fourth quarter after dismantling defenses. The Ducks (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12) are averaging nearly 600 yards of total offense and beating teams by an average of almost 52 points. Oregon is a 39-point favorite against the Buffaloes (2-1, 0-1) on Saturday.
