I got the feeling in each of the last 3 games that CU would have won the game is they had one or two more minutes.
They were close to breaking through the ceiling last year. They lost the UCLA by 4, lost to USC by 3, Utah by 6, and Arizona by 7. They got boatraced by Oregon, Stanford, Arizona State, and Washington State. The loss to Hawaii was inexcusable.
But they are making progress. I predict the Utah game will have them on the edge of bowl eligibility, and they will be playing for their lives. If we are c**ky despite being injured (like last year), we will lose.
