Which of the following quotes from Coach Prime's press conference for you gives you the most optimism going forward?
- "I don't see quit in the guys. They worked their butts off today. I'm proud of them ... (Other teams have rebounded from slow starts), why not us? Why can't we turn it around (and go 10-2)?" (63%, 80 Votes)
- “I’m just as upset as some of you watching, or more, because I know what’s supposed to be happening. I hear (the play as it) goes in and I know what’s supposed to be happening, and it don’t happen" (24%, 30 Votes)
- “I know we have the young men inside that locker room and the coaching staff to get it together ... Leadership and consistency. That’s it. That ain’t much to ask for, is it?” (13%, 17 Votes)

CU opens as a 14.0-point home favorite over Wyoming (Saturday, 8:15 p.m., MT, ESPN). Thoughts?
- If you watched the Houston game, you know that nothing about CU is sure. I'm not predicting a Buff loss, but this will (again) be a very uncomfortable game for the Buff Nation (57%, 174 Votes)
- Both teams have issues moving the ball, which will keep it close (for far too long). But, like the Utah game (3-0 at half; 31-6 final), CU will pull away late (but not by that much) (30%, 93 Votes)
- I like it. Wyoming has no offense to speak of, and, if the Buffs are going to have a dominant win, it's going to be Saturday. Buffs roll (nice to be able to say that) (13%, 39 Votes)

A quarter of the way through the season, how many more wins do you project for the Buffs in the final nine games?
- Three or four. Just from talent alone, CU will win some more games. Probably come down to the final two looking for a sixth win and bowl eligibility, and failing ... just like most of the last decade (44%, 85 Votes)
- One or two. Wyoming will be a win ... then what? Arizona was supposed to be an easy win, and they are 3-0. West Virginia on the road? Maybe. Tough to find wins left on the schedule (32%, 62 Votes)
- Five or more. This team is still going bowling. There is plenty of time to correct mistakes, and plenty of other Big 12 teams with warts. CU still has five home games, and will get better. Courage! (24%, 48 Votes)

Houston 36, Colorado 20. Thoughts?
- The offense is stagnant, the defense can't tackle, and the game plan is uninspired. Hard to see a bowl bid out of this team. Wyoming seems like the only sure win on the rest of the schedule right now (69%, 144 Votes)
- I'd like to say I have faith in what Coach Prime is doing. He has earned the benefit of the doubt, but this team is underperforming, and that starts with the head coach (24%, 51 Votes)
- There were some positives (yes, you have to squint). We'll see how Houston does the rest of the season. The Buffs made the Cougars look good - learn from it and move on (7%, 15 Votes)

It's time! Your prediction for CU at Houston, Friday, 5:30 p.m., MT, ESPN
- The line has bounced between 3.5-points and 6.5-points, and for good reason. CU remains an unknown, without an established quarterback. I foresee a close game, but I'm not sure if the Buffs will win (44%, 86 Votes)
- This is going to be more fun than many Buff fans believe. Remember the September road trip to UCF? CU was a 13.5-point underdog, and won, 49-21. Sit back and enjoy CU's coming out party! (39%, 76 Votes)
- CU has failed to impress the first two weekends, and it will come back to haunt the Buffs on the road. I'm very uncomfortable about this game, and wouldn't be surprised if the Buffs were to lose big (17%, 34 Votes)

I like the question about SS’s negative coverage. Personally, I think the see-saw coverage is mostly about “stirring the pot” and/or getting clicks. SS is this year’s draft soap opera–a love/hate fest For one negative story there is a more positive one. Some stories are just hit jobs (anonymous NFL assistant/exec), others just cover every minutia of his life. Yesterday, Kiper has him still going early.
SS is an intriguing draftee warranting discussion, however the extensive overall coverage on every detail for one QB prospect seems over the top. NFL teams have their draft boards, needs, and evaluations and they make decisions based upon that. I’ll be glad when SS and TH are picked today and the focus will be on our team.
The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
