Ralphie to Run Rough-shod over Red Raiders?

Friends of the Buffaloes,

Due.

That's the term they use for a team that is, statistically speaking, on the verge of a major tun of events. And that is what our Buffs are now - due. Due for a breakout game by a wide receiver. Due for a game-changing long field goal. Due for a punt return for a TD. Due for a defensive takeaway that produces a touchdown. Due for a 150 rushing day by Hugh Charles. Due for a mistake free performance. Due for victory!

"But Buffalover," you say, "how can the 0-6 Buffs possibly beat Texas Tech who has that prolific passing offense?" Glad you asked. The answer may surprise you - a productive Buff rushing attack. That's right, the Buffs have been running the ball very well and expect that to improve further this week. By doing so, the Buffs will produce long clock-killing drives that keep the Tech offense off of the field. And furthermore, that Buff rush attack will finally start producing TDs. With a Buff lead on the scoreboard, Tech will be pressing and will make mistakes... Abe Wright sacks QB - fumble! Fearsome blitz causes throw to go awry - Terrence Wheatley pick, he's fast, TD! But Tech battles back, gets some points, makes it close. Then Mason Crosby comes in for a game winning, clock expiring 70 yard field goal! Demons vanquished. Buffaloes win. Harmony restored to the Flatirons. Relief.

So that's how it will play out, faithful. Be sure not to miss the moment when karma kicks in. Schlep yourself and the kids out to dear old CU this Saturday. Enjoy tasty food and beverages and savor the flavor of a much deserved Buffalo victory!

Go Buffs!
Buffalover
