CU Later - OU Preview

So you're wondering how the Colorado Buffaoloes match up to the

Sooners?

Offense

CU struggled mightily for points against FSU and Arizona State. OU has struggled to hit 70.

Defense

The Buffs aren't as in inept here as they are on offense. The shutout of the Redhawks was an anamoly.

Special Teams

OU is better in the return game. Hartley has yanked a couple of kicks, though. He needs to work on that before I go all 'Mike Gundy' on him.

Stadium Name

Folsom Field vs Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium at Owen Field. Folsom wins for simplicity.

Coaching

The over/under for Fox mentioning that Dan Hawkins used to coach at Boise State and that Boise State beat OU is 8. This is Division 1 Football!

Cool Alumni

Wikipedia does not indicate that Dr. Phil went to CU. CU does count as its former students Rick Reilly of SI, Chris Fowler of ESPN, Jim Barton (co founder of Tivo), and Larry Linville (Frank Berns on M*A*S*H). I have to give the nod to the Buffs for TiVo founder. That device is genius.

5th Downs Needed for Nat'l Champs

Sooners have won "fair and square". So to speak.
