Should be a fun one! Here's to an injury free game for both sides!
I'm thinking Cougs 31 CU 27.

If you had to choose just one injury for CU, who would it be, and why?

I think this will be a great test for our secondary. However, I don't think WSU has faced a defense as capable as ours all season.
On the cougar forums they were saying how we squeaked past Stanford...well, we DID miss three field goals and gave up an intentional safety, otherwise that game ends at 19-3...so, yeah....we squeaked by 10-5 instead. For those who watched, Stanford only had one drive of positive yardage in the first 3 quarters, IF I remember correctly.
Our D is good.

So you're saying that Wazzu didn't screw up against Eastern Washington and that a FCS school is flat out better than the cougs? Good to know that we're playing the 3rd best program in the state of Washington.
If you have no clue about our OL and I'm guessing other teams' OL, then it's impossible for you to know that the Cougs has the best OL.
Stanford is ranked 2 spots behind WSU. Once we beat you guys, you're going to go from complaining about them falling off a cliff to complaining about them being ranked ahead of you.

lol, nice question. I would pick your D-Coordinator slip on the stairs on the way into the booth and roll an ankle. That would make him angry and thus overly aggressive which Falk could take advantage of.

I will love myself! Oh, that came out wrong...
What the **** is wrong with you!? I'd never wish injury on another team or staff!
Wazzu got to play against backups all over the Stanford team and that means the Cougs are the greatest.
Other things to know...
1) CU's defense sucks. Screw your facts!
2) good offense beats great defense every week!
3) Falk is better than Tom Brady because Brady has been beaten by great defenses; Falk is immune to great defense!
4) the cougs have a great defense. Bottom 20% is irrelevant!
5) elite athletes be damned. altitude has no impact on aerobic activity!

Interesting WSU advanced stats to me.
1) They've been very luck with turnovers. VERY lucky. (our luck has been neither good nor bad)
2) Their defense is not as good as they hype, efficiency wise. #67 according to S&P, and #43 in PPG.
3) Rushing attack is efficient, not explosive (leads me to think WR don't block well downfield);
4) Rushing offense is really good at not being stuffed behind the line. #1!
5) Rushing defense is really good at stopping teams for a loss or no gain. #3!
6) passing game is similar. very efficient, not explosive.
7) passing defense doesn't get a lot of sacks on standard downs OR passing downs.
8) Red zone offense is very good, #14 in the country at points per RZ trip. (defense is average tho).
Conclusions:
1) I feel relatively confident.
2) Whichever team avoids 3d and long is going to win the game.
3) I think our offense is going to be just fine. It won't score 49 points while looking out of sync (thanks AZ!), but I no longer am as worried about being stuck under 20 points.

Just steal all the Pepsi in Folsom Saturday morning. Unleash the Beast.
Somewhere, someone or someones who the books think are winners bet on CU at -4.5. It was probably at a sharp book so everyone else followed suit. Those people are just wasting their money because CU sucks and Wazzu can't lose.

Is it wrong to wish that Mike Leach comes into Boulder with those pesky wild hairs groomed from his nose and ears? I'd insist he uses tweezers in addition to an electric razor.

I don't like the combo of WSU's competent run game and extremely accurate QB. I don't like that they'll try to make it a shootout. And I generally feel that we're due for a letdown.
If it makes you feel any better, you're always wrong.

Much as I want to, I can't smack talk Washington State. It wasn't too long ago that we each were bringing up the rear in our respective divisions. There's a little something satisfying here about Washington State-Colorado being the game of the week in this league. As far as a pick, I'll go CU 45-41. Homefield makes the difference.
I'm guessing they read Bleed Crimson and Grey's post about WSU doom and didn't realize he was being sarcastic.
I dunno - I kinda feel like we've been letting down for a few weeks now. It could go that we're due for a lackluster performance actually biting us in the ass, or it could be that we're due for our first solid all-around performance since ASU.
Yeah, I feel like we're kind of due for a complete game
