Buffs fan here. Appreciate the takes here in regard to not being blindly hateful. Talking ball, even with your Baylor lean. Excited for the game, go buffs!

[@Colt_Barber]

Thanks for listening!

[@Moneymanmac30]

I respect that yall take but the stats yall pulled up doesn’t tell the full story on defense we stopped the run in all those games besides the qb scrambling & 1 or 2 maybe even 3 plays that were big runs due to mis assignments. I think for yall to win yall will have to pass the ball at a high lvl & stop our newly reformed run game with new pieces on the offensive line.

[@jeong-suhan7264]

Colt and Grayson~ ya'll are a great combo~ very insightful~ keep up the outstanding work!

[@user-qh5rm4hi4k]

Colt and GG - you forgot to mention Baylor MUST come ready to play first half! BU cannot sleep walk thru Q2 and win - looking at you, offense; and, ZERO Baylor turnovers.

[@DonPeezyWeezy]

Im 100% sure y'all are underating CUs defense. They have allowed 9pts in the last SIX quarters. This includes the 2nd half of Nebraska

But Colorado had higher attendance last year than Baylor. Plus given the "Prime effect" I'd guess Colorado has double the fanbase than Baylor, maybe more.

[@oldsoulfull]

I suppose you really aren't familiar with the viewership numbers for the Colorado buffaloes football games last year or this. You could get informed.

[@oldsoulfull]

One of the very first things said on this video is that Baylor is going to get a prime time TV viewership spot because they are playing Colorado....

[@get2aaron]

The fact is, Colorado didn’t previously DECIDE to commit to running the ball. This will be different moving forward. They WILL run the ball for a more balanced attack. Still heavy on the pass 😂

[@Colt_Barber]

Will be interested to see if they do that. 19 carries against CSU was the least amount of carries for Colorado this season.

Bro y’all killing me lol y’all played against Air Force who threw the ball 2 times the entire game… Not to mention you didn’t score almost the entire first half. I’m pretty sure Colorado’s defense is better the airforce ??

Buff fan here great take, excited for the match-up against a good Baylor football team. I do have to say, if you think the defense is the weak point of colorado you might need to look at another ranking system and compare.

[@bayodaman]

Fair takes but I feel like a lot of the stats you guys threw out were a little skewed. The sack numbers are only high because of Nebraska. I also don’t think Baylor and Nebraska D line are on the same level. Nebraska D line did the same thing to Michigans O line last year. Like it’s not even close. Also I just don’t think you guys are very good on offense. Qb is inaccurate he’s not getting close to that 75% number

[@Colt_Barber]

Nebraska didn't sack Michigan's starting QB a single time in 2023. Nebraska's passing game plan was primarily short passes with Raiola. No idea what Baylor will try to do, or which QB it will start.

[@bayodaman]

@@Colt_Barber watched BuffedinPrimes video on Nebraska D line. Absolutely dominated that O-Line. You don’t need sacks to dominate an opponent, that’s just a weak take. It doesn’t matter what Qb plays neither are good. Whoever played against Utah can’t hit a wide open pass if his life depended on it. I’m not even watching the film on air force the Qb had less than 25 passing yards or something like that 😭

[@jacepierce28]

lol some of these comments are wild. Def will have to watch the game intently on Saturday. We will see if Colorado can stop our rushing attack and if Baylor can stop Colorado’s pass game. Worried a bit about the secondary, but hopefully Aranda will have them ready. Good to see an old Big 12 matchup again.

[@chrissswilliams12]

Exactly! Colorado/Shedeur doesn't want to run the football. He will check out all run plays so he can spin it 50 times.

[@justicebinion8109]

Yea he def want to throw that thang non- stop

[@MLawrenceKey]

Baylor men have to start fast and strong and keep the pedal down the whole game. Otherwise we’re gonna get overwhelmed by their offense. And we gotta have better ball security and NO penalties! Sic ‘em!

[@saintdominicsrosary]

Colorado offense is not that good. Colorado State is a terrible football team. Nebraska blew the doors off them and They almost lost to FCS North Dakota.

[@outof_mymind]

Good breakdown, but you’re selling your community a dream. We haven’t allowed more than 10 pts in 6qtrs, but we don’t allow points in the second half much at all. Our safeties want you guys to think this way. Carter Stoutmire and Cam are NASTY. Gotta watch the film again guys.

[@Colt_Barber]

Alternatively, Baylor is allowing just 9.7 points per game this season and has given up just two defensive touchdowns in three games. Baylor has given up 3 points in three second halves this season. Should be a fascinating game to see how it unfolds.

[@DevDude2023]

Baylor doesn’t have a win now agenda and can’t attract the caliber of transfers that CU does that’s why they do it the trad way. They have 2 top draft picks that may never be duplicated at CU. ALSO THE TEAM was 1-11 and losing by 25-30 points, last year’s team was 4-8 and 6 of the games was by less than a score.

[@rhinoreselling414]

Bears will be flying high after this win

[@JesusLovesU]

Nice job Grayson and Colt! My take is that our OL has started to gel much more and that has resulted in a more balanced attack. I believe Washington is a nice addition, but we also have 3 other good backs. Dawson's fumble was completely not the norm for him. I watched the CU Nebraska game and was impressed with Matt Rhule's tough football that we all remember. I think Sawyer is just beginning to come into his own at QB and will continue to improve during this game. I know that our defense can cause any team great problems. This is winnable for Baylor if they execute. Sic'Em Bears!

[@Drizzle_Drizzle78]

All this talking. All these stats all these numbers. Numbers and stats don't play football players do

Colorado only gave up 1 sack to NDSU and 1 against CSU and that sack against CSU was not on the Oline it was a busted play and Shedeur gave himself up behind the line and of course 6 against Nebraska but to say 2.67 sacks a game is crazy I know everybody do averages but that is misleading if you actually watch the CU games
