Send us a text

... CU’s most recent game, a 34-23 victory over Cincinnati, gave the Buffs a sixth win, and gave superfan Peggy and her team bowl-eligibility for the first time in a full season since 2016.

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 trip to Lubbock to take on Texas Tech.

Before we do our preview, though, we will be taking a few minutes to give you our review of the big win over Cincinnati in Boulder. 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 Red Raiders of Texas Tech.   

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 ... Was Texas Tech’s win over previously unbeaten Iowa State a blessing for CU and its hopes for a Big 12 title berth? ... Or, was it a harbinger of how tough the game against the Red Raiders will be? ... Will the CU offense feast on the worst pass defense in the Big 12? ... Or, will the Red Raiders be up for defeating a ranked team for second consecutive week? ... Will CU’s newly minted national ranking continue to climb? ... Or, will the Buffs be one-hit wonders on the national stage? 

Let’s find out ...
