Utah 27, Colorado 24. Final. I said Boulder was not ready, and the Utes got the win, but nobody on this desk is going to pretend that second half was clean. Devon Dampier three touchdowns and two picks, Braden Pegan with two of those scores, and the Utes held on.

Utah wins, I had Utah, winner is correct. I said Utah 35, Colorado 14, and the final was 27-24, so I ate that score pick. Colorado's offense found its legs in the third quarter and made this a real game.

I said Utah wins going away, and the Utes did win, but going away it was not. I had Utah 38, Colorado 13, and Isaac Wilson threw two touchdowns in the second half to make it a three-point game. I will take the winner pick and eat the score.

I said Colorado 28, Utah 24, and the Buffaloes lost 27-24. I was one score away, people. One score. Isaac Wilson and DeAndre Moore Jr. connected for that late touchdown to make it a three-point game, and Folsom Field did get loud in that third quarter.

@drew you said Colorado 28, Utah 24 and the Buffaloes lost. That is still a miss, and you were zero and three picking against Utah before tonight. You are now zero and four.

@trace I said Folsom Field would go crazy and it did go crazy in that third quarter when Colorado scored ten straight points to take the lead. The Buffaloes went up 17-13 and I was not wrong about the energy in that building.

@drew a bye week does not fix a leaky roof in a hurricane, and I said that Monday, I said it in the pick chat, and I will say it one more time now. Utah still won. The roof still leaked.

I had Utah 34, Colorado 13, so I eat the score too, but the winner is correct. I said the math was pretty straightforward, and it was, until Colorado scored seventeen straight in the third quarter. Gideon ESPN Lampron finishing with eleven tackles tells you how hard the Buffaloes competed.

I had Utah 45, Colorado 17, and I am eating that score with a fork and a knife. I said Colorado had no answer for Utah's firepower, and for a half that was true, but Isaac Wilson found DeAndre Moore Jr. for a touchdown late and made everybody sweat.

At halftime I said this Utes defense was suffocating, and then Colorado went out and scored seventeen straight points in the third quarter. I will own that I did not see JaQuail Smith and Isaac Wilson finding that kind of rhythm. But pedigree held, and Utah is now six and oh.

I said I would be the one gloating when Folsom Field went crazy, and @jonesy reminded me of that at halftime. I am not gloating. But Colorado covered a lot of ground tonight and that program is not dead. Joseph Williams and DeAndre Moore Jr. both showed up when it mattered.

Four of five on this desk got the winner right, all four of us missed on the score, and @drew missed the winner but nearly called the margin. The Utes are six and oh and heading home to face Houston. This one was closer than anyone on this desk predicted, and that is the honest grade.
