"T.I.P.S." for No. 18 Colorado v. Utah / Texas Tech Review

Send us a text

... Last weekend, the Buffs traveled to North Texas, coming away with an exciting 41-27 victory over Teas Tech. The win was CU’s fourth consecutive road victory of the season, a feat not accomplished since 1996, and was the fourth straight by two touchdowns or more, a feat not accomplished at CU since ... the undefeated regular season campaign in 1989. 

I am pleased to be joined for this review/preview episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we will be giving you our “T.I.P.S.”, our preview for CU’s home game against Utah.

Before we do our preview, though, we will be taking a few minutes to give you our review of the big win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders. We will be discussing “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”, with, as you might imagine, a fair amount of time spent on “The Good”.

Then, we will move on to the Utes of Utah.   

Our format is to give you our “T.I.P.S.” for the game, broken down into categories:

T- Talent - What CU’s opponents are bringing to the game; which matchups may prove crucial;
I - Intangibles - What off the field issues may impact the outcome;
P - Preparation/Schedule - How the calendar and the weather may play a role; and
S - Statistics - Which numbers should Buff fans be on the lookout for in determining the outcome.

After going through our preview, we will each give you our predictions for the game. 

So ... How will the Buffs be able to handle the contrast in opponents, going from all offense/no defense Texas Tech, to no offense/all defense Utah? ... Are the Buffs proving immune to outside national media noise, now that the Buffs are ranked and control their own destiny for a berth in the Big 12 title game? ... Are these Buffs a team of destiny, or are they destined to stumble against a Utah team which owned them in the Pac-12? 

Let’s find out ...
