I'm with you, Alki. CU is a team who plays poorly when expected to win/cover, but just when you count them out they scrap and claw and get lucky and cover or win outright as a dog--no one gave them a chance at A&M last week. Plus I love home dogs. Then again, I thought TTech would beat the Horns straight up last week as well. The difference is that CU has a defense. Take a look at OSU +12 at home as well. GL
I'm all over Texas. A&M played sloppy and kept Colorado in the game. That was their 1st good game of the year. But when A&M got things together, they easily took things away from Colorado (78 yard drive w/ 2 minutes left or something; then in OT); They barely beat Iowa State at home. The only way Colorado does not get blown out at home is if Texas keeps them in the game. But the way we played at Tech (no fumbles, new plays with option and bootleg roll out, connecting on pass plays) Colorado has no chance. We're not going to not focus here and look forward to the next 2 games, b/c we don't do that after OU. Before OU all we do is look to that game, after we take it game by game. And we have impecable record after OU. Don't worry about a back door cover, b/c IMO we will keep starters in even if ahead 3-4 touchdowns b/c we need to impress voters too!! Tech score didn't have to be that bad. Hope this info helps. I am on Texas big.
I gotta agree with you. I think Texas is going to take care of business in a big way at Colorado. I underestimated them last week. They've had trouble with Tech in the past, but they actually have a defense this year. They still need a passing game when they get up against a good defense. They don't have to worry about that this Saturday at Colorado.
