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)

Coach Prime: "I had a private, personal meeting with the whole offensive line. I have the utmost thought process that those guys are going to step it up tremendously". Thoughts?
- We'll see. Prime & Co. knew the line was the weak link, but not only didn't the line improve after the bye week, it digressed. That doesn't give me warm fuzzies about the rest of the season (59%, 132 Votes)
- Glad to hear it. After calling out the offensive line after the UCLA, and intimating that the current players would all be replaced, it was a good idea to have Prime meet with them and show support (27%, 61 Votes)
- Too little; too late. You can't call the line garbage and then say that they are all doing well. These young men aren't stupid, and Prime's words could hurt morale the rest of the way (14%, 32 Votes)

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!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
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??? 🙂
