Colorado...the trappiest of trap games...
- Thread starter 79COUG
- Start date
I have faith this staff is up to the challenge. Since the bye week we have come out charged up every single game. I think player motivation, individually, is as high as its been since the early 2000's.
I posted the same thing last week. If there's one universal truth on message boards, it's that fans are great at predicting that upcoming opponents might be overlooking us or that it's a trap game for THEM, but when the shoe is on the other foot, no way would WE suffer a letdown or come out flat vs. an inferior opponent. That only happens to other teams.
Home vs. Colorado....Facing their backup QB...Coming off a huge win vs. UCLA...Playing as heavy favorites....No chance of a letdown.
It's the crazy season in college football. All teams, including us, should beware. Sincerely....
Utah vs. Arizona
USC vs. Colorado
Clemson vs. Syracuse
TCU vs. Kansas
Michigan vs. Indiana
Oklahoma State vs. Iowa State

We had our letdown week in week 1.
Problem we'll have this week is that Colorado lost Liufau for the season, so we now have almost nothing on their starting QB for game prep.
Considering the difficulty we've had all year covering the QB on the run, I hope CU's new guy is like that big inflatable mascot the Shriners bring to Pullman every year.

In an analogy, they are, where we were, last year. Lots of stuff were VERY positive, just didn't translate into the "W" column
I don't think the kids let this get in their heads..... they know they have to fight for what they get..... I don't see them disrespecting Colorado. They have been Colorado and haven't forgotten where they came from. It's called class. Bring your lunch pails Cougs and go to work!
I don't think that trap games can be avoided. Obviously the coaches and players are going to be motivated at practice this week. They're going to take the field excited to play. Sometimes though, you just aren't as "up" for certain games.
This is the classic trap game. On the heels of a huge win, and right in front of the Apple Cup. It's going to be very cold, possibly rainy/snowy, with an empty student section. Players are students, and this time of the year, they're thinking about Thanksgiving break and the Apple Cup, not Colorado. That's my concern. Not really sure how you coach that out of them.
