Here's what we've heard so far from the Boulder Daily Camera:
Prince on Charles
First-year Kansas State coach Ron Prince will match wits with Hawkins and his staff for the first time Saturday, and Prince made no secret of identifying the one Buff who has caught his attention most in early film study.
"I see Hugh Charles as being one of the most dynamic running backs that I've seen in some time, for sure this year," he said. "He reminds very much of Leon Washington from Florida State and Frank Gore and some of those kind of running backs that I've been seeing in the ACC here from Florida State and Miami. Not only does he have phenomenal speed, but he's a very strong runner and he has tremendous lateral quickness and contact balance. He's a major concern in the game along with some other guys."

Prince said his team had its best week of practice of the season last week leading up to a victory over Iowa State. He said one of the Wildcats' goals this season has been to get to November with a chance to win the Big 12 North Division and earn a bowl trip. Both remain possible. ... The Nov. 11 CU home game against Iowa State will begin at 1 p.m. and will not be televised.
