CU is a mediocre team. They are clearly not an 8 win team, but they aren’t a 4 win team either. They have 3 more games that should be considered winnable, 2 that are probably no-hopers, and 1 that I believe CU can steal if they bring their game. That was the first game of the year that didn’t go the way the oddsmakers thought, so to get back to even in that respect, they gotta get one that they shouldn’t.
I said it last night, but I’ll reiterate that CU’s defense simply isn’t good enough or disciplined enough to stop that kind of offense and that dynamic of a player. They are much better suited to stop/slow down the pocket passing QBs, so I still think this team can play effective, complimentary football going forward. Not to say they are going to be dominant, but I still expect them to be competitive in the remaining games, and if the offense keeps clicking like they did last night, I definitely see 6 wins.
