New Mexico State at Colorado

Colorado will be without the services of three of their top players in Daniels, Washington, and Iwuh, and are also coming off the heels of their emotional last second win against Colorado State. CU is known for playing up and down to the level of their opponent, and they should once again here, with a date with Miami looming on the 24th. NMSU played a good second half against UTEP last week, and will put it up 60+ times on Saturday night. CU showed no pass rush from their front four last week, and if that happens again, Mumme's bunch should keep this closer than the big number. Barnett is historically very weak in the early season and as a favorite. CU is 14-30 at home since 1992 in the first half of the season. One star on NMSU plus the generous points.
