Coach Prime and Buffs face two key games in control of Big 12 race
The prognosticators got one thing correct about the initial Big 12 conference season with four newcomers, including the Buffs. Most so-called experts believed the season would be a dogfight between four or five schools. That was spot on.
With two games remaining, the trio of schools have what all desire this late in the season, control of their destiny. The Sun Devils host the Cougars this weekend. An Arizona State victory would give coach Kenny Dillingham’s team, with two conference losses, the tie-breaker against BYU. Kansas has played TCU, Houston and Iowa State at Arrowhead this season. Average attendance? About 46,000. In a 76,000-seat stadium. Who knows, with the “Prime Effect" and a chance for Midwesterners to see up close and personal Travis Hunter, this season’s clear Heisman Trophy favorite, it might draw a crowd of 50,000 or more.
The words of former Colorado head coach Rick Neuheisel ring in my ears: “If ‘if’s’ and ‘buts’ were candies and nuts? We’d all have a Merry Christmas!” Amen, buddy.All the accolades will take care of themselves if Colorado keeps winning. CU’s defense has emerged as a real strength of the team. First-year defensive coordinator Robert Livingston and staff have taken a ton of transfers and transformed them into a formidable force which surrendered only 31 rushing yards to Utah.
