Good content… nothing wrong with rooting for your team and predicting them to win! I appreciate the fact you didn’t throw shady or hate on Colorado like all the other opposing teams podcast do!!

[@TheBackTo12Podcast]

@@terrell757 appreciate the kinds words. Yeah I’ll admit Colorado has proven me wrong in multiple ways. They’ve improved significantly this season. Can hate on them for that.

CU 45 TT 17.....CU's defense will learn from the K-State game (Giddens) and severely slowing down the run game.....and Travis Hunter will shut down their top receiver. The stadium will be rocking, but CU will put it all together against TT.

[@SsgtTimothy]

Travis hunter is one of those players you can’t stop you can only hope to limit his production and slow him down he will get his touches and his yards

We’re gonna need most of the questionable defensive players back to win

[@davidtaylor7105]

Nah. I hope they get better soon. Coming from a Buff fan!

[@Davinchi-v7x]

I like your take. Texas Tech is a pretty good team, especially the offense. With that being said 51-13 Colorado

[@Josh.Carnes]

Debating on going back to Lubbock for Big Noon & the game. Seeing Hunter and Sanders play would be cool too. Excited for this one to say the least. Tech taking a W for this one

[@TheBackTo12Podcast]

I'll be there this weekend. Can't wait to see the environment

[@iamlucero3779]

As a CU, fan this game makes me nervous. It’s obvious TT will bring more rushers than the CU O-Line can block. CU’s run game on offense is so generic. I’ll take the CU receivers over TT DB’s all night. The question is, will Shedeur have enough time to get the ball to Hunter, Wester, Horn, Shepard, Miller. CU’s defense is decent, Taj Brooks has the opportunity to extend drives. 1st and 3rd down are crucial for the defense. Special teams could be the deciding factor in this game. CU 33 TT 31

[@TheBackTo12Podcast]

@@iamlucero3779 you bring up all fair points. I 100% agree on the 1st and 3rd downs for both defenses. Whoever puts the other team in more 3rd and long situations has a much better chance at winning even with this high powered offenses

[@k2peak360]

How's that obvious when TT has no pass rush at all? They're one of the worst pass rush defenses in the country. Just look at the yards that they give up against the pass to QB's who are not named Shedeur Sanders. 😂😂

[@johntaviousslaton80]

They ranked next to last against the pass so if they do that 2 will have a field day

[@iamlucero3779]

@@johntaviousslaton80 I want CU to win so bad. I highly doubt TT is only going to rush 3 or 4 and let Shedeur pick them apart. What CU needs is to use D. Miller (hot route) as a receiver out of the backfield on 2nd and/or 3rd and longs when TT brings the heat. This game is very winnable even by double digits. All comes down to play calling and execution. Go Buff$!!!!!!

[@Samkhatha]

CU got this. Just win out baby. Go Buffs!

[@TheBackTo12Podcast]

Interesting Joey McGuire stat: Joey McGuire as the head coach of Texas Tech has a 9-2 record (.818 winning %) in games played in November or December

[@nichernandez19]

I can’t wait to be at the game this weekend!

[@TheBackTo12Podcast]

Same!

[@shinnerbeer]

Texas Tech 35 Colorado 32... assuming Lux plays. I think Rodriguez is our best player on defense, but Lux us our most important player on defense.

[@uncletubgaming]

This game will be over at halftime CU wins going away to much firing Power and the D is strong against the run. T. T. has to throw the ball then they fall right into CU hand. That man will give T.T. Fits...

[@TechSportsFan1]

RC, I’m nervous about this one 😅

[@TheBackTo12Podcast]

I don’t blame you at all. Should be a really fun game overall

[@k2peak360]

Colorado doesn't has only played 1 game all season that was decided by 3 pts or less. So good luck TT with being the kings of winning close games.

[@TheBackTo12Podcast]

I mean one possession isn’t just 3 points. Colorado is 2-1 in one possession games ie 7 points or less (NDSU, Baylor and KSU)

The best quarterback in college football, with the best wide receiver room in the country... versus the team with the worst pass defense in the entire country. When has the defense ever won that matchup?? CU will control this game from start to finish with their passing game. Does anyone even see TTU stopping Colorado more than once in the game?? How?? This could get ugly, if TTU doesn't run the ball more than their normal 40% of the time.

[@sh80611]

Idk 🤷 shall see I guess

[@1JamesHunter]

@sh80611 CU last 3 road games... Wins by 19, 27 and 27.... I like TTU, but CU gets better every week. CU 45-24

[@sh80611]

@@1JamesHunter it’s a fair assumption. There definitely isn’t a lack of CU fans giving us every reason in the world about how and why they’re going to put a beat down on Tech- at this point it just seems like a community effort to create a psych out with the Tech fans and players. We’re big boys and have been in this league for a long time with much bigger/better opponents-we can figure out how to win, but we can also take a loss and move on. I’m honestly concerned about what will happen with the CU fanbase when the other shoe drops (maybe not this week, maybe not next, but at some point it will happen)

[@1JamesHunter]

@sh80611 these Colorado players now realize they are not famous because of their coach, they're not on national tv every week because of their coach... These players realize they are good and famous because of their work and effort. Now, one of the most talent laden teams in America, Colorado, has something to play for every week. CU last 3 road wins by 19, 27, 27... What do good teams do to bad teams?? They squash them! TTU is not a good team. TTU os the very bottom of pass defense. Do you think they want that title? Hell, no! Can they change that over night?? If Shedeur played for Iowa State, State would have won by 3 tds... TTU, to their credit, kept stopping Iowa State in the redzone. Colorado is motivated. Talent that is motivated is pretty unbeatable. And, TTU doesn't have the team to stop that... Colorado is now a player led team. Now, even though every game they play is the other teams big game, Colorado players get to play against teams who also share in that pressure 🤔 Colorado 45 TTU 24 It will not be close... because Colorado is a very good team.

Colorado 52 - Tech 30. Game is over midway through the 3rd.

[@TheBackTo12Podcast]

This prediction gives me more confidence in Tech given your prediction record this year haha Just messing around 😂

[@Nathaniel_Randall_Beady_III]

ESPN has Colorado at -3.5, as a ttu fan I’m shocked they have it that close. I hope I’m wrong, but I just don’t have confidence that the ttu defense will get enough stops for tech to win. TTU 34, buffs 48.

[@TheBackTo12Podcast]

I think that’s definitely fair on defense side of things. I think Tech offensively could be great too. That said, the 3.5 is because it’s a Tech home game and they get 3 points traditionally for being the home team.

[@masonracer5518]

Like the saying goes, that's why they play the game. We will see what happens Saturday you cocky buffs. I hope your team underestimates us like y'all do!

[@wesatkinson9947]

Not sure about this one. Their passing game is going to eat Tech alive. Just have to hope Tech offense comes to play to keep up with them and CU makes some mistakes. Don’t forget Tech will be in the Mahomes jersey!

“False stats” is a really funny thing to say because in their very definition stars are in fact well true. Could Colorado win? Sure, no one is saying otherwise, but you’re seemingly severely underestimating Tech in a lot of ways which is fine

@TheBackTo12Podcast really? That's why they have played 1 real offense with a good qb and got over 250 yrds and 3 td on that defense by Baylor ? Same Baylor that had 148 yrds passing and 2 td against the buffs right? Better try actually watching games instead of box score watching 😂
