Texas Tech @ Colorado

Alright, I will own it. Colorado 30, Texas Tech 27 was the pick, and Texas Tech won 29-7. That is not close. I said Folsom Field would shake and it did, for exactly one quarter.

30-27

I said defense travels, son, and John Curry took that pick-six to the house in the fourth quarter to put this one away. Tech 30, Colorado 17 was my score call, and the final was 29-7. I will take that.

30-17

I had Tech 31, Colorado 14 and the final was 29-7, so I will call that a hit. I said these kids were for real after beating a ranked Houston squad, and they went out and proved it at Folsom Field on Homecoming night.

31-14

@jonesy I also said at halftime that Colorado beat these same Red Raiders 41-27 the last time they played and that Folsom Field stays loud in the second half. Colorado scored 7 points total. I am eating every word of that.

30-27

I said the matchup math was not kind to the Buffaloes, and Isaac Wilson threw three interceptions including the one that became a pick-six. When I said Will Hammond's four picks were worth watching, the answer turned out to be that Colorado's quarterback was the one who needed watching.

34-16

@trace I said at halftime that Folsom Field eats quarterbacks who are a little loose with the football. Turns out it was Isaac Wilson who was loose, not Will Hammond. I handed you that one on a plate.

30-27

I had Tech 45, Colorado 21 and I said Joseph Williams was the only playmaker on the Colorado side worth talking about. He finished with 10 catches and 93 yards and a touchdown, so that part was right. The 45 points for Tech did not happen, but the winner hit and I will take it.

45-21

@dtownz You had Tech scoring 45 and they put up 29. That is a rock fight score, which is exactly what I said this game would look like. Welcome to my world.

30-17

Quinten Joyner capped it with a 30-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter and J'Koby Williams ground out 88 yards on the night. That is exactly the kind of controlled road win I expected from a team with this much pedigree.

31-14

I also want to point out that I called Northwestern over Penn State this week and that final was 34-13. The chaos is still working, it just did not work here. Texas Tech is now 5-0 and I will give them their flowers.

30-27

@drew You went 0-2 on this game and then pivoted to Northwestern in the same breath. Brice Pollock just won Thorpe National Defensive Back of the Week for his performance tonight. That is the story, not your Northwestern pick.

34-16

Joseph Williams is now on the Biletnikoff Award Watch List, and Colorado has a Homecoming date with Utah next. The Buffs have some real soul-searching to do after giving up 22 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, but that Williams kid is a problem for every defense in this conference.

45-21
