So glad Texas missed on bear and the Colorado / Florida cb. Definitely didnt fit the culture and work ethics

[@darc5394]

Finally someone not giving these players an excuse! They quit on their team it’s that simple

[@GetbusyAup1226]

If you’re looking for Colorado prediction go to 44:10 save yourself the time

[@HighlimitSR]

[@SimplyNeema]

Thank you! I came to the comments just for this.

[@virionspiral]

​@HighlimitSR yeah seems like there's a ton of bandwagon Deion dick riders lately

Go Canes

[@Mr.conserv]

Will shep is scared to great I feel like

[@4yourEyezTV]

He’ll step it up. Too good not too

[@Bradyb11]

Jesse is such a tough listen

[@DinglebeanMcFlanergan]

He picks Georgia lol who would have thought that. This dude kisses UGAs tail every chance he gets. I’m not sure he even watches the games.

[@chacaabbaylee768]

Great stuff as always JD. Hey, how about the awesome scheduling on Tennessee's behalf?!? That bye week is super timed up. Arkansas sandwhiched between an Oklahoma win and Florida coming to town was a trap game for days. Bye week should help that focus and carry us through Bama. And speaking of Bama, i got em 31-17 this weekend. Show me some offense georgia

[@Sportsfan0099]

Players dont play for a reason

[@stephenvols]

on3 sucks

[@messagetous]

Go Blue 😂

[@LoveSportsTv83]

Yo this channel is good, and I respect it, but just to see all the Colorado is going to lose every single week come on guys its your opinion but what if they win this week 🤷🏽‍♂️ then what no change huh? Just gonna stick to them losing again and again lol. My problem is y'all pick them to fall every week but then again money off of them by betting on their players to cover and be a success 🤡 👈🏽 for that in my opinion sorry if your gonna bet against them, then don't gain off of them period.

[@holdengamble]

He picks against them bc they’re terrible and every game they’ve won has been against a terrible opponent or they barely beat a team that is mediocre. No real college football fan takes Colorado seriously.

[@MrMadskillz407]

Their Oline is horrible. Shedeur cannot keep taking those hits. If it does not change, he will not make it through the season.

[@BrandonColePhotography]

Lets come on over to the hate of On3 because they never give CU the credit and and they love to leave out details when it comes to CU and im here to tell you the REAL keys on why UCF hasn't played an offense like CU and how CU will win this game easy. First What we fail to mention is that UCF does NOT get after the QB and they are HORRIBLE in the secondary and covering WRs. UCF QB has thrown less than 55 passes in the last 3 games!. LOL Check the stats. Can UCF cover Hunter, Shepard, Wester, Miller, Horn and more?? The fact that you FAIL to realize that CU has over SEVEN #1 WR's that can outright KILL any team they play is CRAZY. UCF HAS NO SECONDARY and cannot defend. And given that UCF has no DBs rated in the top 100, while Travis Hunter will be the best player on the field and will take away UCF's best receiver, the Knights only shot at winning I'd if they run for over 250 yards. Otherwise, if KJ Jefferson is forced to match Shadeur Sanders throw for throw, CU will win by double digits. UCF is not good against the pass first of all. Second, UCF doesnt have the QB or WRs and the Buffs SECONDARY is amazing. UCF IS THE MOST 1 DIMENSIONAL TEAM IN FOOTBALL. Third. No team has scored over 7 points in the second half vs the Buffs have we forgotten that. CU defense is actually very very good and coming together nice. CU's linebackers are rated by PFF as 3rd in the nation vs the RUN-take away the NDSU game, CU's LB's are #1 in the nation All people talk about is UCF run. They cant pass and they cant cover and have no secondary. Its gonna be in Florida, good weather and CU plays GREAT when its day time games like this. I cant wait.

Miamis getting all those sacks without Bain who might be back
