Lee Corso surprised fans with his prediction for the upcoming Colorado-Texas Tech game. Corso, the only ESPN College GameDay panelist to support Texas Tech, famously shouted “Not so fast!” “Texas Tech won in Lubbock,” he said confidently. The sentence echoed on the set. The bold choice was counterproductive for Colorado, whose offense was on fire, scoring more than 34 points in four of the last five games. This attacking firepower has particularly shined on home soil, making them an intimidating opponent.

But Corso’s selection to Texas Tech came despite the Red Raiders’ defensive struggles; They have given up 35 or more points in three of their last five games. With a lack of key starters, Texas Tech could face an uphill battle stopping Colorado’s potent offense led by Coach Deion Sanders. This season, Sanders has instilled new confidence in the Buffaloes, who are consistently favored by pundits and analysts, including four panelists on FOX’s Big Noon Kickoff who unanimously picked Colorado.
