INSIGHT 02

The Buffs can't find points

Colorado has lost four of its last five, and the offense scored 10 at Arizona State last week. Isaac Wilson has eight touchdowns and eight picks. Joseph Williams is the bright spot with 853 receiving yards, and he can’t do it all.

INSIGHT 03

Houston already won in Manhattan

Colorado’s last win was 27-24 in overtime over Kansas State. Houston went to Manhattan and beat that same Kansas State team 35-16. Gideon Lampron has 99 tackles and 5.5 sacks for the Buffs, and he’ll need a monster night. Houston by more than 10.

HOW THIS BLOWS UP ON ME

What scares me: a cold, late night at Folsom.

An 8:15 local kickoff in Boulder in mid-November is no picnic for a team from Houston. The Cougars lost 21-13 at Utah, their other trip to the mountains. If Folsom gets loud early, this stays close.

WHO YOU GOT?

Can the Buffs hang with Houston at Folsom?
