It's the Rumble in the Rockies under the lights at Folsom Field. No. 11 Utah (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) visits Colorado (2-3, 0-2) at 10:15 on ESPN, with the Utes chasing a perfect season and the Buffs trying to make a statement.
Utah insider Aspen Mortensen is a former ski racer, and she's ready to send it. Devon Dampier is healthy with 12 touchdowns and two interceptions, Wayshawn Parker averages over seven yards a carry, and ESPN ranks the Ute offense seventh. Colorado insider Moss Feldstein runs a quant model from a hammock. He says variance is his friend and points to Julian Lewis and receiver Joseph Williams, who has five touchdown catches. The Buffs are coming off two weeks of rest.
Utah will be without cornerback JC Hart, and linebacker Preston Pitts is doubtful. Colorado lost 29-7 to Texas Tech on Oct. 3. Clear conditions are expected.
Our call: Utah 32, Colorado 17.
