Avoid Mental Mistakes
Again, this Colorado team isn’t super dangerous on either end of the ball. If Oregon finds itself in a close game, it is very likely because it let Colorado hang around due to mental mistakes.
No need to force passes into double-coverage. No need to run loose with the football. No need to gamble on an interception without help on the back end.
Oregon has gotten better at avoiding these kind of mistakes as the season has gone on, and Colorado probably will not test them too much, but in a game like this it makes very little sense to put yourself in a position to make mistakes like these.
