<p data-start="128" data-end="693" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">College football is built on emotion, and that is exactly what makes it so unpredictable. Colorado is riding high after a massive home win over a ranked Iowa State team, but history tells us those highs rarely last. My favorite system play, <em data-start="369" data-end="386">Fade the Storm,</em> is all about capitalizing on that emotional letdown. When a team storms the field, the following week often brings a harsh reality check. This time, the setup could not be better. Utah is rested, motivated, and ready to make a statement against a Colorado team that might still be celebrating its last win.</p>

<h2>Colorado vs. Utah &#8211; October 25</h2>
<p data-start="0" data-end="479">Welcome back to my favorite system play, <em data-start="41" data-end="58">Fade the Storm.</em> This week, we are fading the living daylights out of the Colorado Buffaloes after they upset then-No. 22 Iowa State 24-17 two Saturdays ago. Now, following their bye week, the Buffaloes hit the road to face a Utah team coming off a tough loss at No. 15 BYU as 4.5-point favorites. This is a brutal spot for Colorado to replicate the success they had against the Cyclones, especially in Salt Lake City against the Utes.</p>
<p data-start="481" data-end="845">For those new to the system, I live by a simple code: if a school storms the field or court after a win, I fade them in their next game. There is also a companion rule, if a player cries during a postgame interview and it is not the national championship, I fade them too. The emotional highs of college sports can be beautiful, but they always come with a crash.</p>
<h3 data-start="481" data-end="845">Back the Utes</h3>
<p data-start="847" data-end="1122">I am all over Utah this week. I grabbed the Utes early Sunday morning at -11.5 and still endorse anything below -14. Once it climbs above two touchdowns, it becomes a tougher sell. This feels like a classic get-right game for Utah and a perfect letdown spot for Colorado.</p>
<p data-start="1124" data-end="1395">Utah’s 24-21 loss to BYU was misleading. The Utes outgained the Cougars by more than 100 yards, both on the ground and through the air, controlling nearly every statistical category but losing the turnover battle 2-0. If they clean that up, they should win comfortably.</p>
<p data-start="1397" data-end="1751">Expecting Colorado to find success against back-to-back top Big 12 defenses is a tall order. Utah is allowing fewer than 17 points and 320 total yards per game, ranking top 25 nationally in both categories. Colorado, meanwhile, averages about 360 yards per game, but that dips closer to 320 on the road, where they have managed only 20 points per game.</p>
<p data-start="1753" data-end="2013" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">Utah is easily the more battle-tested team, having already faced Texas Tech, Arizona State, and BYU. Head coach Kyle Whittingham should have his group focused, disciplined, and ready to roll through a 3-4 Colorado squad that is walking straight into the storm.</p>
<div class="flex max-w-full flex-col grow">
<div class="min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+&amp;]:mt-1" dir="auto" data-message-author-role="assistant" data-message-id="3149e231-dc86-410d-af65-ee68a0974ef8" data-message-model-slug="gpt-5">
<div class="flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]">
<div class="markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words dark markdown-new-styling">
<p data-start="0" data-end="573" data-is-last-node="" data-is-only-node="">In the end, this is all about discipline versus emotion. Utah is the steadier, more physical team that thrives in these bounce-back spots, while Colorado is riding high off an emotional win. The Utes are built to dominate in the trenches and force Colorado into uncomfortable situations offensively. With the crowd behind them and a point to prove after the BYU loss, Utah should control this game from the opening whistle. I expect a convincing performance from a focused Utah team and a humbling return to reality for the Buffaloes.</p>
