I am joined for this episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we will review CU’s final trip to the Rose Bowl as a member of the Pac-12.

Our preview will look at the game from the perspectives of Talent, Intangibles, Preparation, and Statistics, before giving you our predictions for the game to be played before a sellout crowd at Folsom Field for Homecoming.

Or, will the national narrative about the Buffs continue to sour as the calendar turns to November? ...
Let’s find out ...
