keeps it really interesting." Coming into the night, Color

BOULDER, Colo. -- A night game televised nationally on the conference network. Largest Folsom Field crowd expected in nearly five years. At least a share of the top spot in the Pac-12 South at stake.All just more signs that Colorado (4-2, 2-1 Pac-12) has its football program trending in the right direction as the Buffaloes host Arizona State (5-1, 2-1) on Saturday.Colorado is counting on plenty of Folsom Field clamor against a Sun Devils team thats 7-0 all-time against the Buffs and has outscored them by an average of 26 points. There could be more than 46,000 fans for this homecoming game in a stadium that should be much louder since the completion of the Champions Center on the northeast side to trap the noise.I love night games, and I think most of the guys on the team love night games, and that kind of atmosphere, Colorado receiver Bryce Bobo said. Were just trying to come out with a big win.Big wins have been rather rare for the Buffaloes since their last bowl appearance in 2007. This team, though, has been making strides all season, such as earning the Buffs first ranking in 11 years before falling out of the polls this week after a 21-17 loss to Southern California.The turnaround in Boulder has certainly caught the attention of Arizona State coach Todd Graham.Theyre a football team thats playing very hungry, Graham said. This team is capable of big plays and they have been playing very well at home. So, we need to go out there and find a way to win.Both teams enter the game with QB quandaries. The Buffs will decide between freshman Steven Montez and senior Sefo Liufau, whos dealing with a sprained ankle thats sidelined him for the last three games.The Sun Devils may have Manny Wilkins in the huddle again. He missed last weeks 23-20 win over UCLA with a leg injury. Theyre also preparing Dillon Sterling-Cole and Jack Smith with Brady White out for the season after suffering an injury against the Bruins.We dont really worry about (whos at quarterback). We worry about us, Colorado safety Afolabi Laguda said. We have to come out there and worry about filling our gaps right, covering the right people and making plays.Here are some other things to watch as the Sun Devils try to spoil Colorados homecoming:THE LOCAL KID: Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre had a simple answer for stopping the Sun Devils version of the Wildcat formation.Tackle No. 7, MacIntyre said.That would be Kalen Ballage, who the Buffaloes know very well after heavily recruiting the 6-foot-2, 227-pound running back from Peyton, Colorado. Ballage had eight total TDs in a game earlier this season against Texas Tech -- quite a few off direct snaps out of the formation they call Sparky.The main thing is No. 7. Hes pretty wicked, MacIntyre said.FOOT NOTE: The Sun Devils have one of the best kickers in the game in Zane Gonzalez, who connected on three field goals last weekend to become the NCAAs all-time leader. He has 89 career field goals, moving him by Florida States Dustin Hopkins, who had 88 from 2009-12. Gonzalez is nine points away from breaking Hopkins FBS record for career points (466) by a kicker.THIS & THAT: With a win, the Sun Devils would move to 6-1 for the second time in the past three seasons. Whats more, Graham would pick up win No. 40 at Arizona State.SEFOS NUMBERS: In three games against Arizona State, Liufau has thrown for 836 yards, which is the most versus one opponent in school history. Its one of 78 school marks that Liufau has either set or tied.ATTENDANCE SURGE: The Buffaloes are averaging 43,172 at home this season -- a figure sure to climb after this weekend. The last time Colorado averaged more than 40K was 2012.Its going to be a tough test for us here. Im glad were playing at Folsom, MacIntyre said.

They realize, however, that they let an opportunity get away on Saturday night as they lost 2-0 to the Colorado Rapids and dropped in the Western Conference standings. "Obviously tonight was a chance to really put Colorado in a really tough spot because were running out of games," Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie said. "What it does, it keeps everybody in it and keeps it really interesting." Coming into the night, Colorado and Vancouver were tied for second place in the jam-packed conference. The Rapids now have sole possession of second place. The Whitecaps slipped all the way to fifth with the Los Angeles Galaxy and Portland Timbers also picking up wins and passing them. "Definitely it was an opportunity tonight to cement a place in the playoffs, come to a tough place against a good team," Whitecaps forward Kenny Miller said. The Whitecaps, however, were unable to keep the momentum going after picking up four points (1-0-1) in their previous two games. Colorado keeper Clint Irwin helped stop that momentum. He saw just three shots on goal -- stopping them all -- but also made solid plays to halt other Vancouver chances. "The man of the match tonight was their goalkeeper and probably rightly so," Rennie said. "We h
