4. Israel Antwine puts on a show in his debut

Not sure who Israel Antwine is? Well, the time is now to know. The 6’4 315-pound defensive end will be the first true freshman to start for the Buffs since 2015.

This is a testament to head coach Mike MacIntyre for finding gems on the recruiting trail that seemingly come out of nowhere.

I expect him to harass K.J. Carta-Samuels all game, totaling two sacks and a pass defensed in his debut game.
