Official CU vs. Baylor Score Prediction Thread
- Thread starter Duff Man
- Start date
I’ve been meaning to try their new and improved food post renovation.
It’s basically corporate conference food.
Rubber chicken breast goes well with an ass kicking.
Buffs 27-13 in OT. How is that possible you say?
Mata misses an XP late in the 4th that would have given us the lead.
In OT, we win the toss and take the ball 1st. The game thread and Reddit have meltdowns about how Prime doesnt know the first thing about game management. We score a TD and then go for 2, and convert. Travis seals the win with a pick 6, final score 27-13.
Shedeur attempts 55 passes, gets sacked 4 times. We run the ball 10 times for 69 yards in the first half. The first run play of the 2nd half goes for a 1 yard loss, and is our last rush attempt of the game.

CU can run on Baylor if they plan to. Whether they plan on it is another issue.
We ****ed
Wrong! We’re only ****ed if we knock the starter out of the game and the backup has to come in!

Or if the new QB was at another position on the depth chart
I think Baylor unfortunately is probably playing us in the wrong time. Week 2, this maybe a Baylor win 14-10.
In week 4 with the adjustments made and the defense understanding what they are. 28-6. I can see Baylor getting two FGs but it wouldn't shock me if we shut them out. This is the worst OL we are going to play this season.

I agree that this is a bad time for them to be playing us. Roberston is nowhere near the same threat as Finn is at QB. There's a very good chance we see a similar score to the Utah game. I provided 2 different score predictions based on who the QB was going to be and now I feel fairly certain were looking at 30-17 in this one.

It's going to be hard for them to score against us now that we know we are great at simulated pressures and you see we bring it now at 60%. Before it was at 20% and our defense struggled a bit for it.
Both teams are getting better based the on tape and both are talented. We are just far more talented. Both teams like simulated pressures. Both teams have solid depth.
Yep. Their D has not been tested much. Injured OL means that this is a must win for Colorado.
48 overall passing attempts. But 18 hurries, 2 hits, and 3 sacks is impressive. This is a game I expect Welch to shine. Baylor isn't great at tackling and while they are good at blowing up your running scheme, they leave 1v1 with angles to attack. A gifted runner could cook in this setting
Not sure where I got 35 from. Utah had 23 passing attempts. AF had 10 and TS had 15
To further the point about Baylor's OL problems:
It's also currently projected to be a rainy, sloppy and chilly evening. We'll see how that impacts our pass heavy offense and if we use this opportunity to actually become more balanced. Either way, with their backup QB not being much of a running threat and not a great passer, I think our defense will shut them down and offense will be able to do enough.
It goes against the conventional wisdom that playing in rainy conditions kills the pass game and forces a smashmouth battle of the trenches, but I disagree. As long as you don't have a QB with small hands who has trouble gripping the ball and being accurate when it's wet, the poor footing greatly benefits a pass offense because the WR knows where he's going and the DB can't plan his steps & break.

Tom Brady had a field day during a rain game a while back iirc
Backup QB NEVER benefits CU
Pocket QB/No threat to run benefits us greatly.
Toledo would like to speak with you
Calling my shot -> 3+ sacks on Saturday.
There is no shame in losing to Heisman winning QB, Aaron “the rocket” Opelt!
