100% agree with this. I have no specific reasons to think this, I just really feel it. And I think that the players realize that both of their losses were without Liufau (as great as Montez played, and he will do even better next year).

i was wondering when you would start posting again....
If the Buffs had played Rutgers and Washington had played at Michigan, we'd be the 11-1 team and they'd be the 10-2 team. I really don't think there is a lot separating these teams. The Buffs have had a few more games where one or two phases of the game weren't quite clicking. If they are firing on all cylinders, I think they win. Defense wins championships and I love this defense.

I don't feel great about this matchup. It will be won in the trenches and U-dub seems better on both the O and D-lines.

There is a big talent disparity here... Two solid running backs with different styles, 3 stud WRs, 2 with elite speed, great special teams and a defense that causes opposing teams to not want to get hit anymore. Your QB will get pounded when he tries to run...
This is the best Husky team since the early 90s. Your team is good but we have much better athletes across the board and we will shut down the run and make your QB throw....to our secondary that has 3 NFL players in it right now....
Where we are vulnerable....mobile QBs, throwing to TEs.
41-13 dawgs. Probably close at half.

Just out of curiosity, have you watched a full CU game all year? I'm predicting 24-17 you guys, but there is no way I see that big of a blowout. Michigan didn't even beat us by that much when we are on the road. You guys are more talented than Michigan?
Wow lol.
It is clear most UW fans haven't watched the Buffs
You're in a for a treat! We don't have a particularly mobile quarterback, and we've thrown to a TE, like, three times all season!
Also, welcome to Husky 1992.
I find this "wear you down with better athletes narrative" interesting. No doubt that UW has some great athletes. But our teams have managed very similar statistics (CU is slightly better defensively, and UW slightly better offensively) while playing in the same conference (though I'm sure you'd acknowledge that our OOC schedule was considerably more rigorous).
My question is, how do your reconcile your narrative with the statistics, which say it should be a very evenly matched game? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm simply trying to understand your logic.

No, no there's not. If games were won by recruiting rankings, we'd be 3 and 9 this season.

We are just happy to be here. Win by as many points as you want! We definitely backed into the conf championship with an easy OOC and easy conference slate with our less athletic team.

Yes I have watched multiple condensed games on the Pac-12 network. More talented than Michigan -- I don't know about that but from a matchup perspective, we will shut your run game down and force your QB to throw and it won't end well.

I have watched games and have seen your QB, even in HS. Stats are great but if you want to understand my basis, look at how the huskies have fared against opponents when we were able to shut down the run game. Rule out SC who has a good QB and the Arizona game which was simply a bad game for us all around. You will get behind, you won't be able to run and you'll have to rely on a passing offense...again throwing into a secondary with 3 players who are likely to be drafted in the NFL and one player who was freshman defender of the year. Simply put, it's a bad matchup for you guys.
When you played a great defense like Stanford, look at your score. Look at what we did to stanford ( again, shut down their running game and forced them to throw ).
Mcaffery and Freeman both took multiple weeks to return to form after they played against our defense. It's about the matchup.

I hope your attitude pervades the entire team.
We play our best as underdogs. Ask vegas.
