More Buffaloes than the last three weeks AND we're at home? I hope heaven is better than this. But you know what? Stranger things have happened at night in Boulder (I'm talking football here, obviously a lot of strange crap goes down around Boulder every single night).

 Not happy that our punting average dropped a bit. I want top ten nationally in something positive. 

 It's no surprise with Matt Barkley behind center and Robert Woods lining up wide but the Trojans can fling the ball around. The Buffaloes want to compete in this game, slow down (cause there most likely won't be any stopping him) the Barkley to Woods connection. Also, I obviously represent the Woods last name better than Rob. 

 The Trojan pass defense hasn't really been anything special. The numbers are somewhat skewed because of the huge numbers put up by Arizona and the shootout with Stanford, but not enough to make it irrelevant. Let's hope Richardson returning helps get the passing game going.

 Increasing the chances of Colorado being able to throw the ball a bit is USC's ineffectiveness getting to the quarterback. They haven't been in the backfield too much this season. Unfortunately, for us they have done a fantastic job protecting Barkley, so if the weather is not a big factor, there is a very good chance that we could be seeing a lot of touchdowns. tonight.
