"T.I.P.S." Preview for Colorado v. Cincinnati / Review: CU's Romp over Arizona

... Another Big 12 road game, another CU blowout win. A three-point underdog against Arizona, the Buffs started fast, and never looked back in a 34-7 romp over the Wildcats. Don’t look now, but CU is 5-2, one win away from a bowl game for Peggy. 

I am pleased to be joined for this review/preview episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we will be giving you our “T.I.P.S.”, our preview for CU’s Family Weekend “Blackout” game against Cincinnati.

Before we do our preview, though, we will be taking a few minutes to give you our review of the blowout win in Tucson over Arizona. We will be discussing “The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly”, with, as you might imagine, a fair amount of time spent on “The Good”.

Then, we will move on to the Bearcats of Cincinnati.   

Our format is to give you our “T.I.P.S.” for the game, broken down into categories:

T- Talent - What CU’s opponents are bringing to the game; which matchups may prove crucial;
I - Intangibles - What off the field issues may impact the outcome;
P - Preparation/Schedule - How the calendar and the weather may play a role; and
S - Statistics - Which numbers should Buff fans be on the lookout for in determining the outcome.

After going through our preview, we will each give you our predictions for the game. 

So ... Will Cincinnati’s offense, with a balanced attack and a mobile quarterback, be able to keep the ball away from the CU offense, frustrating the Buffs? ... Will CU’s offense, going up against a Bearcat defense giving up less than 20 points a game, be able to take advantage of opportunities to score? ... Will the Buffs, late on Saturday night, become bowl-eligible in October for the first time since 2016? ... 

Let’s find out ...
