Is Colorado this years Nebraska?

A team that falls off a cliff when conference play begins?

They have the worst defensive field goal % in the conference which can't be overcome with talent on offense. Not a good sign once they start playing teams who have scouted them and shut down their limited offensive weapons.

nebraska didn't fall off a cliff when conference play started last year. more the reverse, really. they had some bad ooc losses, and then overachieved in the big 12.

They're only 10th in the conference based on what they've done so far, so I wouldn't expect too much from them anyway!

depends how you are defining a cliff. i think CU wins 5-7 conference games. mostly, at home.

still soft and small inside. no depth. they do have 2 legit d-1 scorers in Higgins and Burks, but are a legit NIT team top end.

If Colorado and Nebraska were running a sucky race, it would end in a tie.
