CU opens as a 9.5-point underdog to No. 23 Arizona (Saturday, Noon, MT, Pac-12 Networks). Thoughts?
  • Senior Day, and the Buffs finally have a home game which is not 10:00 a.m. or 8:00 p.m. With a second straight home game, I'm looking for CU's best game in a month ... and a win! (46%, 108 Votes)
  • Sigh. Another week, another ranked opponent. Arizona has been playing very well of late, and just beat up on a UCLA team which had no issues with beating the Buffs. Take Arizona and give the points (37%, 88 Votes)
  • This is CU's sixth game against a ranked opponent, and the smallest line in those games. CU has beaten the spread the last two games, and will cover the spread this weekend as well (17%, 41 Votes)

No. 16 Oregon State 26, Colorado 19. Thoughts?
  • Ironic that it was a poor coaching decision (passing the ball right before the half), which helped lead to the Buffs' demise. I wonder what new wrinkle Coach Prime & Co. will come up with next (40%, 94 Votes)
  • As the saying goes, you are what your record says you are, and the Buffs are now under .500 in Year One. Can the Buffs end the losing streak before year's end? I guess we'll find out (32%, 76 Votes)
  • I was actually encouraged by the defensive effort. Holding two straight ranked opponents under 30 points, and giving your team a chance to win, is a good place to start (28%, 65 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for Colorado v. No. 16 Oregon State (Saturday, 8:15 p.m., MT, ESPN)
  • Having Shurmur calling the plays may provide a jump start for a series or two, but the offensive line still has to block the play called. Buffs cover the double-digit spread, but this is a loss (43%, 94 Votes)
  • Taking a coach who gave up a head coaching job to be your offensive coordinator, and then throwing him under the bus? Reeks of desperation. Looking for an OSU blowout, and getting to bed early (31%, 68 Votes)
  • Look out, college football world. The change in play-callers may be what the Buffs need to jump start the offense, and reclaim momentum. Buffs like late night overtimes - this one's a win! (26%, 57 Votes)

Coach Prime: “It’s a struggle to run the ball. And we’ve got to figure that out because now you’re one dimensional and it’s easy to stop a team when they’re one dimensional". Thoughts?
  • It's nice that the problem has been identified. The question is whether the coaches are going to do anything about it. Nothing changed after the bye week, so I'm skeptical we'll see anything new (45%, 90 Votes)
  • Thanks, Captain Obvious! Only the 1984 team (which went 1-10) has averaged fewer yards per rush. Here's an idea: Try putting more than a handful of rushes into the game plan (33%, 66 Votes)
  • Coach Prime continues to throw the offensive line under the bus. These are his assistant coaches and his recruits ... where is the accountability for "outside in" development isn't working? (22%, 43 Votes)

Which of the following to you is the most interesting when it comes to CU's 2024 schedule?
  • That other than a road game to Central Florida (which will be good for recruiting. Thanks, Big 12!), CU's road games (Arizona, Texas Tech, Kansas) are more than reasonable (63%, 104 Votes)
  • That four of CU's five Big 12 home games - Utah, Baylor, Oklahoma State and Kansas State - are former Big 12 rivals. Only Cincinnati will be a new foe for Folsom next year (25%, 42 Votes)
  • We knew the Big 12 wasn't going with divisions, but also not going with pods. CU will play Utah and Arizona next season, but miss Arizona State and BYU (12%, 20 Votes)

  1. The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
