Just two games into the season, the Colorado football team is already facing some of the same questions it faced a year ago, especially up front on offense. CU (1-1) will visit in-state rival Colorado State (1-1) in Fort Collins on Saturday (5:30 p.m., CBS) and the offensive line will be in the spotlight again.

By MICHAEL PHILLIS Warm water in the Gulf of Mexico helped quickly strengthen Hurricane Francine, creating danger for Louisiana residents rushing to buy supplies and secure their homes ahead of the storm’s landfall Wednesday.

Mid-September is typically the peak of hurricane season and Francine moved through a part of the ocean that held an exceptional amount of energy. As of Wednesday afternoon, Francine had strengthened to a Category 2 hurricane with sustained winds of nearly 100 mph (161 kph). Hear’s how high Gulf of Mexico water temperatures are effecting Francine and the hurricane season: HOW HOT IS THE WATER? The Gulf of Mexico doesn’t need record setting temperatures to form hurricanes this time of year.
