Speaking of not beating teams for a long time, Colorado has actually never defeated USC. The two teams have met 16 times in the existence of their programs and the Trojans won each one of those matchups.

The Trojans are going to continue that streak and they’ll go into Boulder in an electric atmosphere and take down the Buffaloes. I think this game is going to be close but Caleb Williams and Co. will have too much firepower for the Colorado defense, even with Travis Hunter and Cormani McClain in town.

Prediction: Loss (2-3, 0-2)

It’s gut-check time for Colorado here after losing two straight games and falling below .500. Will the Buffaloes be able to go into the desert and pick up a big win over a rebuilding Arizona State team that may actually take a little more time to get back to relevancy under Kenny Dillingham.

The Sun Devils were solid early on under Herm Edwards but the veteran head coach really did a number on the program over the past couple of years.

Colorado’s going to go into Tempe and steal a win from the Sun Devils to get back to .500 and really push toward a bowl berth.

Prediction: Win (3-3, 1-2)
