Offerdahl slated to start for Colorado

Charlie Offerdahl is currently the starting running back for Colorado, per Steven Corder of StarLocalMedia.com. Offerdahl has competition in the backfield, including sophomore transfer Dallan Hayden and freshmen Brandon Hood and Micah Welch, but Offerdahl appears to be leading the pack as the 2024 season draws closer. The 5-foot-11 running back has gone through multiple injuries over the past year after missing the final four games of the 2023 season with a leg injury and missing the Buffaloes’ spring game with an intestinal issue, but it appears the junior may finally be in line to get his shot.

North Dakota State vs. Colorado Betting Prediction

Take North Dakota State. For a second straight offseason, Sanders overhauled his roster through the transfer portal. They’re extremely talented at the skill positions, but they’re weak in the trenches…again.

As for the Bison, they have proven over the last 15 years that they’re a fantastic program. They’ve won nine of the last 12 FCS national titles and will give the Buffs a game tonight. They might not be a powerhouse like they have been in the past, but CU has more questions than answers heading into the season.

North Dakota State vs. Colorado Prediction: NORTH DAKOTA STATE BISON +9.5
