Can the Buffs beat the Bruins?

The UCLA fans at my gym are already ready to ride Mora out on a rail. If they lose to the Puffs they are going to be livid.
Mora sold UCLA a bill of goods. He has more talent at his disposal than 90 percent of college programs and is the epitome of an underachiever.
Mora's not a bad coach. His OL totally sucks this year so having a healthy Rosen wouldn't help as much as one would think.
The Buffs are better than expected this year.... So much so that I expect them to challenge the Huskers in a serious way next year. (It is next year isn't it?)
The better they are when we beat them, the better it is for Husker nation. Go Buffs!

That's nothing. My Raiders got 23 penalties vs. the Buccaneers this last weekend.

Ucla is an awful team, Mora needs to be gone after this year. They have a lot of talent and he just keeps making them worse. Colorado won the personal foul battle, seems the buffs are getting back to their cocky selves we first saw back in the late 80's and into the 90's. Thought I was watching a vintage Miami team last night.
Wisconsin hasn't had that many in the past decade.
CU is pretty much in the driver's seat to win the Pac-12 South. They have some tough games coming up vs Wash. St. and Utah to end the year, but both of those are at home.
It is not too far off to say you could see a Nebraska - Colorado match up in the Rose Bowl.

First step in possibly playing in the Rose Bowl is to win in Columbus tomorrow night.
Losing the B1G CCG and finishing 11-2 would more then likely get us to Pasadena.
Buffs have a pretty decent recruiting class going too. 21 so far, and quality not much behind ours.
And you should hear how cu fans still talk about Nebraska. Many of them on the local sports talk shows here in Denver are foaming at the mouth with the buffs new found success, and Nebraska is mentioned quite often. In a few years, for those of you who venture into boulder for the "big" game, you will once again be reminded why cu fans were the most despised group of fans in the B8 and B12.
Still plenty of chatter on their message boards as well, and now that buff fans see their team as being on the rise, they often turn their hatred towards the Huskers with their usual banter and "can't wait until Nebraska comes to boulder" talk. Those of you who were old enough to remember what it was like after 1988 with cu fans know what's coming again, and in boulder, you better have thick skin when you go to the game, it may not be very pleasant. Times may change, but cu fans won't, and you can bet in 2018 they will be at a fever pitch. If you've never been to a game there, you will get the best and worst of things. Nice surroundings to be sure, and a great game day atmosphere as well, and if cu is winning, it gets loud, real loud.
But you will also incur the wrath of more than a few fans as you make your way to the stadium and even once you get inside. Like I said, you better have thick skin, it's going to challenge what you believe a fan should be and show you what bad fans can turn in to. And it will be here before you know it!

Utah and Colorado are similar, in that they are vanilla on offense and good on defense. Utah, is a better version though, and shouldn't lose, despite it being a road game.
Buffs looked awful Thursday night and were fortunate to win, but they are putting together a good season. I've always felt McIntyre was a good hire for CU, if they gave him time to clean up the absolute dumpster fire he took over there. CU was probably the worst Power 5 program in the country when he arrived in Boulder.
Being a complete jerk in the post game press conference didn't sit well with Bruin boosters. I've said for some time Mora is lazy and his team follows his lead.
If Mora is a bad coach, and I'm by no means denying what seems to be an accepted fact, than how bad does it make our former goon squad look that UCLA twice pushed their collective feces back in.
I was at both those games. The deal was at about first quarter Mora adjusted to Bo's defense, Bo had no answer, and Hundley then ran and passed all over the field. Say what you want about Banker, but the guy can at least make adjustments at half.
Oh, and BTW in the game in Lincoln T-Mart was injured and due to no QB recruiting/development, they left him in to try to be a pro qb and get murdered by the pass rush.
He is still recruiting against the New Mexico States of the world. The offer lists on their recruits is not impressive at all. They would have their normal record if the P12 wasn't an absolute disaster this year. They haven't caught up in the least...the others all have fallen off this year.
So given where the CU program was four years ago, who should they have hired instead of McIntyre?
