Here's everything you need to know about the Colorado vs. Colorado State rivalry.

Who you got, first-year head coach Deion Sanders at Colorado or the vilified sunglasses-hater Jay Norvell at Colorado State?

The Colorado Buffaloes and Colorado State Rams will face each other on Saturday for the latest edition of the Rocky Mountain Showdown.

On one side, you have Coach Prime and the 2-0 Buffaloes, who are looking to continue their hot start to the season with a win against their in-state rivals. On the other, Colorado State lost its season opener to Washington State and has had a historically tough time against ranked teams (Colorado is ranked No. 18).

Saturday's matchup at 10 p.m. ET marks the first on-campus meeting between the Buffs and Rams, who previously played at the Broncos stadium for a decade. This year's game will take place in Boulder while the 2024 Rocky Mountain Showdown will take place on CSU's campus in Fort Collins.

Who will come out on top? Here is the matchup history between Colorado and Colorado State.
