Well, the Buffs have a chance but that half will surely be outlined by missed opportunities and a less than prolific offense by the Buffs. Hard to be satisfied with a 10 - 14 game when the Mountaineers turned the ball over three times and fumbled on a Buff turnover. The game has the feeling that Colorado is hanging on by a thread. Still have a chance, though.
