A more talented Colorado takes the field as the more motivated, energized squad that is celebrating a marquee season while BYU resembles a team that overachieved early and but has found that reality has caught up to it.

Shedeur treats us to a frustrating display precision timing passes mixed with effortlessly dodging our pass rush and buying enough time to dissect our secondary. We'll fight back to some extent and move the ball on their D, but ultimately, we can't beat CU in a track meet type of game. They have more playmakers, and we implode on a few drives, which will be the difference. Hunter will make some big plays, but the real star of the show will be Saunders as we end our season on a bit of a damper, losing 3 of last 4.

Colorado 41 BYU 24

Still an excellent year. It just won't feel like one.
