The defense

FWIW, 12 interceptions would have tied for 10th in the PAC-12 last season.
 
It will be close. CU's ineptitude at forcing TO's was our biggest issue last year. It's not a coincidence that the game we won we had 2 INT's and a fumble recovery

Yes, but most of the other teams in the PAC-12 had the benefit of playing us.

I'm not sure how you see this team getting from 3 to 12 but maybe it was all schemes last year. Under is a pretty safe bet.

Getting the completion percentages against our defense down a bit would be nice.

I would go slightly under, but I do think scheme played a large role.

For as much as Brown's defenses were termed "aggressive," I rarely saw CBs turning around to actually play the ball and not the man. Greg Henderson alone in 2011 (as a true freshman no less) was not looking on several pass completions that he was in position to stop. Interceptions tend to come in bunches (think 2007 against TT), so 2-3 games is all it takes to get near double digits.
 
Under. Lots of good passing teams and our secondary is, how do you say... Suspect?

O/U remains at 12. Place your bet.

(Buffs have 3 interceptions through two games)
