This would be good but also remember last year. CU could not have been flying any higher than they were after beating TCU...and yet they still were very mediocre in 1st half vs NU. If NU had even a C+ level QB, they'd have been up 17 pts going into halftime.
So frankly it doesn't matter if CU is up or down when they face us. If we're the better team it won't matter. If we are actually even in quality then it would I suppose.
But CU had a huge road win PLUS their biggest, best home crowd ever vs NU last yr and they basically laid an egg in the first half.
