ucla, night game, national tv, thursday, folsom will be rocking, rocking. i think we win this one handily, but we can't let them feel like they have a chance-- they have a ton of athletes and can beat us for sure.

ua, we will roll them on the road. focus. it may not be pretty, but we'll get out of there with a win.

and, then, things get exciting...

wsu looks really good-- i am glad we have them at home, but this will be a big time game. the pirate has them on a roll. this is your basic late season big ****ing game that can change a season. we haven't played in one for a long time.

that leaves utah, again, at home. i figure we beat ucla and ua to move to 8-2, then wsu could go either way and the utah game likely decides the south. holy ****, friends. we are ****ing back.

this is going to be one helluva ride. i am frantically juggling travel plans as we speak to try to adjust for the holiday bowl or the rose bowl or, or or or. ****.
 
I haven't watched enough non-CU P12 games this year, but I did watch Oregon State vs Wazzu and Wazzu really didn't impress. They seem like they're the same old Leach team. Throw a ton, play **** defense, and he makes really questionable coaching decisions. He went for it up 4 on his own 35 or so on a 4th and 6. Luckily the Beavs aren't a really good team and didn't capitalize. I'm more worried about Utah and UCLA (and UW!).

i've watched a ton of p12 football. wsu is good. they are, in some respects, a lot like us-- well-coached, running a scheme they believe in, but without the warehouse of great athletes that some of the other p12 teams have. utah, i have felt from the beginning of the season is really good. and ucla are choking dogs as always but they have the athletes to beat us if they believe in themselves. this is going to be fun.

Tend to agree. Not that Wazzu will be easy by any means, but this Wazzu team will be well overdue for a loss by the time they roll into Boulder. With Arizona and Cal their next two games (both in Pullman) they likely roll in at 8-2. They're good, but this a team one stupid opening loss to Eastern Washington away from being 9-1? Seems a bit much. I also like catching them 6 days from the biggest Apple Cup maybe ever. Classic look ahead situation.

UCLA with their talent concerns me a bit if we aren't completely focused. Sure, 3-5, but with losses of 7 or less to @ Texas A&M (31-24), @ Wazzu (27-21), @ ASU (23-20) and Utah (52-45). They're a play here or there (not to go all Hawk) from being a 5-3 or 6-2 team and scaring the **** out of everyone. This is still a talented, dangerous group. We'd better be ****ing ready to go like the ASU game.

I'll take your word for it. Perhaps the game vs Oregon State wasn't their finest showing. I just felt like we'd capitalize on a lot of **** ups they were making. Falk threw a hail mary that Oregon State's DB should have had easily, but he somehow let it go right through his hands and into the Wazzu WR's hands for a TD. No way we let that **** slide.

I'm excited about this final month. 3 at home is really nice and the only away game is at a pretty defeated Arizona team. Sets up really well for a magical season for us.

To get way ahead of things and fantasize a bit...

How friggin' Allsome would it be if an 8-2 CU' had its last 3 games versus an 8-2 Wazzu, a 9-2 Utah and a 12-0 UDib? Run that table and the rank would skyrocket.

yes! we'd definitely be a top 10 team and making some noise. i am loving me some 2016 football.
 
The games I expect the Buffs to win, in descending order, are AZ, Wazzu, UCLA, and Utah. High degree of confidence in the first two, and feeling pretty OK about the Bruins. Utes will be a tough out.
 
I'm still not at the point of being confident in this team on the road. They didn't play well at USC offensively and struggled in the red zone against Stanford. That arizona game will still be close IMO.
 
Utah doesn't impress me. Sorry. They have some playmakers on defense, I suppose.

That said, they remain the toughest game remaining on our schedule.

Like Stanford, Utah dictates the flow of the game to their opponents. I am hoping at home CU can prevent that from happening.

That RB is good too. And their oline can block for him.
 
I may be way off base, but I think they're going to run the legs off of that kid. He had something like 40 carries against UW. If he doesn't beat you early, he won't beat you late. Not a lot of depth behind him, either.

Any offensive line that does that to Washington's front is elite. They had a very good game plan too where they were letting one inside guy get far up the field but trapping his gap and it opened up huge holes. That was an impressive performance in a loss but luckily we play them in Boulder.

Considering he was banged up and retired, I think you are right.

Ya they have to rely on Joe Thomas because that QB is extremely inconsistent. If they keep running him like they have, his legs are going to be dead.

Arizona ain't SC or Stanford, even on a good day. Before the season, very few picked us to win either of those games, but a bunch of people expected a win at AZ. Focus is key.

Thinking back to the beginning of the season when MacIntyre kept spouting his goal of becoming Pac12 champions, it sounded a whole lot different then than it does now. I almost felt pity at how he was embarrassing himself. Now, it's
respect - same for the other coaches and players.

True, I am just not confident in this team on the road yet. Arizona will prove a lot about this team IMO. Can we go on the road, while ranked and getting the schools best shot and come out with a victory? We shall see.

Utah's OL is really pretty average. I suspect injuries have something to do with it. USC's OL is by far the best we've faced all year.
