,, in colorado, we stand together,

trump: oh, no. coffman: i don't know whether barack obama was born in the united states or not. coffman and trump are too dangerous for colorado.

if sunday was the super bowl and trevor siemian was the only quarterback on the roster, i think he could find a way to play but it's week five and the broncos have a capable backup. trevor siemian listed as questionable for sunday. my big question, why risk it? why not give paxton lynch his

few more days to get ready for the thursday game? gary kubiak says he will work siemian out again tomorrow, and if his shoulder holds up he could still start against the falcons. >> watching him move and make the full throes, we moved him around a little bit today. something we didn't do yesterday. go back and look at the big picture. will probably work him a little bit more tomorrow than we normally would. just to take a look. but he's made progress every day. college football, cu -- current buffs players were probably nine or 10 years old, at the time. as eric christensen reports a lot were fans of the 2005 heisman winner. >> going back to callie. not the end of the buffs like hearing. cu is 2-19-1 all-time in the golden state. doesn't matter where they play usc, the buffs are 0-10 versus the trojans. >> you always want to do something that's never been done before. so that adds a little more fuel

them? zero. we have to earn respect. broke a window in a place they never win just might do the trick. with the buffs, eric christiansen, cbs4 for speed -- sports. csu just 2-3 including losses to both cu and wyoming. hosting utah state tomorrow, rams searching for an identity and for some leaders. >> there comes a time when you just can't pat everybody on the back and say everything is i'm always a firm believer that difference between a good and a great team is player lead overcoats lead. we're not even a good football team right now. that burden falls on me as the head coach. finally look at these hockey players on the bench and look at the advertisement on the boards in front of them. do you see it? that's from a junior hockey league in pennsylvania. that had to be purposely placed in front of the visitors bench.

tell you it is just jaw- dropping to see the damage that matthew and least. the power is out here, so it's getting harder to look at the damage. you can see this building here clearly part of the roof was ripped off, there's a small boat in front of the building here. and further up the coast, matthew is not even done wreaking havoc. hurricane matthew pounded the florida coast with blinding rain and winds that gusted over 100 miles an hour. e moves north. >> it could be the worst part of this is still to come. >> reporter: hurricane force winds snapped trees and destroyed the side of a boathouse in smyrna. all over the state debris littered streets. >> i've seen trees uprooted. i've seen downed power lines. i've seen carports falling on cars. >> reporter: in jacksonville huge waves crashed sure. overtures are worried matthew
