This is a monster game for Colorado.
Are they the team that's won four games are the team team that did not look competitive against Nebraska Classic Deion Sanders press conference this week spent half of it talking about baseball, uh declaring not to compare him and Travis Hunter as who's the better athlete?
I would still give that to prime love you.
Travis Dion's message.
Coach Prime's message to the team.
Don't be surprised by the success.
How can you be surprised that you're winning in life?
How can you be surprised the expectations you have for yourself?
The only way you could be surprised is if you didn't expect it.
It's late night in Boulder and we have seen some stuff late night in Boulder the last two years in the Coach Prime era, they have had wild wild games in this time slot.
So I'm excited for that.
It is the extreme style of Colorado and the complete lack of style that is almost like Kansas state's vanity is its lack of vanity like we are substance.
We don't go away.
No gimmicks.
No nothing.
Chris Kliman, you know, salt of the earth, meat and potatoes up from North Dakota State.
I think this comes down to whether Avery Johnson takes care of the ball for Kansas State and they run successfully against Colorado.
Colorado's run defense is much better this season so far than it has been last season.
But I, I expect Kansas State to be fully dedicated to running the ball.
And if Colorado can slow him down enough and then turn this into a bit of a catch us.
If you can game where they're scoring and K state has to keep up, then the buffs could pull this off.
But if it's K state dictating tempo, grinding it out, run, run, run, run, run all night and Colorado can't stop them, then, then the Wildcats are gonna win and potentially win handily.
