Arizona is a good/mediocre team in the 40s in fancy rankings. CU is worse than mediocre. They have a QB. We do not.
Prediction: frustration.

Zona @ CU Pregame Thread - 5 PM Saturday Nov 1 on FS1
- Thread starter Darth Snow

Way less doomy than Utah, but still doomy. That performance was pure 2022 distillation of quit. Whatever is going on inside the football program, something is terribly broken. I'm struggling to motivate to go to the game.
Dead cat bounce? Scrape a win so Prime feels vindicated and no changes are made. Hopium tanks refilled.
A win here and a win at WVU secure maximum pain of 5-7. Just enough for apologists to blame injuries, schedule, players, and anything besides face the coaching staff issue head on. Another offseason of hope the new transfer additions will overcome the lack of coaching… “this time it’ll be different”, we tell ourselves
Doom is a marathon, not a sprint
So it is written and so it shall be

Best case scenario
If there aren’t enough 6-6 teams they take the highest APR programs at 5-7 I believe.
I actually think ASU at home is winnable, especially if Leavitt continues to be banged up or misses the game. They aren’t good without him
most of these players have lived off their athletic skills for years. Respect of peers, teammates, getting dates, attention from coaches, colleges, etc.
now, they are widely being branded quitters, losers
when does personal pride, self-respect kick in? how can people with these backgrounds rollover in very public view?
at this point we need a good motivational speaker to talk to these kids regarding what life is about. CP and this program have been all about celebrity, media, clicks - and that doesn't cut it on the field.
I am dismayed, sad about my Buffs

Is Tyson done for the season? Leavitt didn’t look very good on Saturday without him.
I agree with this wholeheartedly. For all my doom and gloom, I still think there's an opening to a bowl game. This Saturday is the lynchpin. Win that and I think we'll be re-motivated as a team. Beat a sh!tty WVU squad and then November 22 becomes HUGE.
Lose Saturday however, and there's a very good chance we finish 3-9.
No hyperbole, but HCP & Co. are coaching for their futures this week.
Just find a way on Saturday.
Last week was one of those games that lights a fire but it's 50/50 whether it's in a positive way or whether it's going to burn things to the ground.
I'm looking at this game as a major inflection point on whether the Prime CU era is going to succeed or fail.

Like a more depressing version of last year's CSU game.
I agree, but to be clear, Deion Sanders will be the HC of the Colorado Buffaloes in 2026 unless he decides to resign/retire. Obviously, his staff (or maybe just a few) is coaching for their futures with the program but let's not start thinking CU is going to fire Prime. Not happening.
This is an inflection point in the 2025 season for whether they can show some fight and finish with momentum, or run the season into the ground and finish at 3-9/4-8. However, no matter what happens on Saturday, he will have the opportunity to right the ship in the offseason and turn it all around in 2026 because short of him retiring, he's not going anywhere.
This. The decision is 1000000000000% on him and only him.
You'll know by 5:00 Thursday.I’m out if it’s Salter. I want Staub until JuJu can play.
Anybody who thinks Prime is on the hot seat is a certified moron.
if CU averages 22 and scored 7 last week, logic clearly says they will scored 37 this week to maintain that average. stats do not lie
Watching limited UA film and analyzing their season so far, this should be a double-digit win for the Buffs. I'm dead serious. We match up well and we're at home with a ton on the line.
It's straightforward: Don't turn the ball over, don't let Fafita get too comfortable, and for one time this entire goddamn season, our DBs come to play.
We'll probably lose by 24...

If you see Salter trot out there to start the game and then Shurmer has them run between the tackles for 2 yards on the first play, you have your answer
I actually wouldn't mind that as much as I will if I see the defense unable to stop the run, allowing TEs and RBs to be uncovered in the passing game, no penetration (catching blocks) and our CBs unable to defend a 50/50 ball without collecting a PI.
If they want to thang their hats on this being an OL game on offense with Salter being told to decisively run if his 1st read isn't there on passing plays, I can accept that (as much as it sucks).
