Arizona vs Colorado Game Preview

Why Colorado Will Win

Enough already, Colorado. It’s time to get the running game going.

Arizona might be playing well, and it might be doing a great job of holding up at home, but it just got trucked by Cal a week after getting run over by North Dakota State in a big 31-28 Wildcat win.

The run defense didn’t have to deal with any sort of ground attack against Mississippi State, and San Diego State never got the O going in the opening day loss. North Dakota and Cal, though, figured it out combining for 637 yards and seven touchdowns over the last two weeks.

Colorado was finally able to get something going in last week’s loss to UCLA – throwing for 258 yards – but this week it has to start running, keep running, and …

NFL Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Arizona Will Win

Yeah, the running game. Arizona is about to have a good time.

The offense has mostly liked to wing it around with Washington State transfer Jayden de Laura going off – he hit Cal for 401 yards – but the ground attack has worked when it gets attention.

Colorado has the nation’s worst run defense by a mile. Playing against TCU and Minnesota will do that, but it hasn’t been able to figure anything out as it allows a nation-worst 323 yards per game and seven yards per carry.

The Wildcats will still try to win through the air, but the rotation of backs should be strong enough to take control right away.

What’s Going To Happen

Colorado won’t have it figured out quite yet.

It’ll come up with one of its better performances of the year, but the defense will let the offense down in the second half as Arizona goes on scoring drive after scoring drive to take over.

All of the CFN Fearless Predictions

Arizona vs Colorado Game Preview


Why Arizona Will Win

The team really is playing better.

It’s having a hard time scoring – it hasn’t been able to get to 20 points – but it battled well against Oregon and pushed UCLA in a 34-16 loss last week. It helps that the defense has improved enough to keep the team in games.

The 2020 defense allowed 410 yards or more in all five games, and in 18 of 19 games before this year. In 2021, the Wildcats have allowed more than 400 yards just twice in five games – the D is keeping the team in games.

Colorado isn’t going to come out and hang 60 on the board.

The Buffs managed just 34 points in the four games against FBS teams and haven’t pushed past 260 yards, but …

Week 7 CFN College Football Expert Picks

Why Colorado Will Win

Texas A&M, Minnesota, Arizona State, and USC. It’s not like Colorado is losing to Northern Arizona, like Arizona did a few weeks ago.

For all of the team’s issues, there’s promise with enough potential with the running game to at least be okay. Again, it’s not going to go off, but the Buffs were able to run for over 170 yards against both Texas A&M and Arizona State …

It’s something for an offense that’s done nothing.

Arizona isn’t able to hit anything down the field, the ground attack isn’t making up for it, and the team isn’t making up for the problems with the turnover margin.

What’s Going To Happen

The first team to score wins?

Arizona can’t get to 20 points, and Colorado can’t get past 14 since rolling past Northern Colorado 35-7 to start the season.

Arizona is struggling, but it got past 350 yards four times in five games. Colorado hasn’t been able to get past 260 yards since the opener.

Arizona has lost 17 straight games since coming up with a win in early October of 2019 on the road against …
