Too bad Travis Hunter will miss the Oregon and USC games. Hope the young man is ok. Looks like the Buffs will still have some talented kids but that young man is Him.

The dude that hit him went around his team mate and leveled Hunter on an obvious late hit with intent. Should have been DQ imo. I did like the way he avoided the helmet to helmet but the obvious intent and way he avoided his team mate tells me that kid knew what he was doing all the way. I do not think he was trying to hurt Hunter but he definitely was trying to make a statement.

And speaking of sarcasm, I said to myself when we got the ball on the 2 yard line at the end of the 4th that "we had them right where we want them". I had little hope that we'd get it done...but we did. It was an amazing performance.

I couldn't watch the game, but listened to it until it was 28-17? I think. That was around 11:30pm or so where I live, so I gave up, figured CU lost, went to bed. Happy to see this morning they came back and pulled out a win.
From what I heard, the OL is bad, gave up some sacks and Sanders was pressured all game, the run game needs to be better, they seem to be relying on QB Sanders too much. The defense did not do well against the pass, surprised me against CSU.
Next week against Oregon will be very tough. If they don't play better than they did last night they will get blown out. I am hoping for a close game (maybe the USC game will get on national TV? if they play well in Oregon) but, I will be surprised if they get the win in Oregon.
Maybe the Buffs were looking past CSU with Oregon up next? If that is the case, maybe they will play better than I expect against Oregon... I hope so.

Buffs are now 19 in both polls. But this will likely be the last ranked week of the season as they likely have to drubbings coming up.

yeah it was interesting. as a fan of both and not rooting for anyone i was happy that it was a game. wonder how many east coast people stayed up until 2 am watching the game.

I’m central and was up until 1:30. But I also grew up a Buffs fan. Don’t think many neutral fans stayed up.

Me. But I'm usually up at that time anyway. Just glad I had the game on.

i dont know...there was a lot of hype around that game. thats why im glad it was a battle and not a blow out

[Hadez]

On west coast. Easy for me to stay up. Glad the game was exciting. Super fun to watch! Hope the Buffs can keep us entertained.

From what I've read on social media there were a lot of non-CU/CSU fans that watched the game and even a lot of non-football fans. That game broke a late night CFB record for viewers.

Coach Prime knows entertainment. Bringing a lot of viewers.

He is also using this moment to not only bring in recruits for the football team but also attract recruits for the other sports teams. Women and men.

Coach Sanders is the real deal. We lucky to have him coaching for Colorado.
