Colorado football: 3 takeaways from blowout loss at No. 10 Oregon

1. What’s next for Colorado football?

It won’t get any prettier for Coach Prime and the Buffaloes. The fifth-ranked USC Trojans invade Boulder next weekend. Though USC’s defense isn’t as good as Oregon’s, they have defensive linemen that can exploit Colorado’s questionable offensive line. Then there’s 2022 Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams.

What’s going to be interesting is how the Buffaloes respond. They’ve been on such a high with their first three wins; how do they rebound from a loss of this magnitude? Coach Prime and his staff have to prepare for yet another opponent at the top of the conference.

What’s next for Oregon?

The Ducks made sure everyone knew they were a top-ten team this afternoon. Coach Lanning had Oregon ready to play. They were the superior team with the superior roster and did not come out flat. They obviously wanted to send a message to the rest of the Pac-12: they are here and trying to make the college football playoff.

The Ducks travel to the Farm and take on the Stanford Cardinal before playing three ranked teams: No. 8 Washington, No. 21 Washington State, and No. 11 Utah.
