If the crotch rockets could learn to play defense they would be dangerous. That's one heck of a talented offense they have on the field.

I would love to see them knock off the Suckeyes in Cleveland next week. Anyone remember an average Cincy team taking OSU to the wire at the Bengals stadium a few years ago?

I can't really tell if Toledo is just this good, or if Colorado is just this bad. I'm leaning towards the latter, though, as I have never seen such horrible secondary play at any level of football. CU's defense looks totally clueless out there, and it doesn't seem like UT's schemes are forcing them into it...

Wow Colorado finally scored a TD. 30-10 now. Im really suprised that colorado isnt doing any better here. Toledo is playing great offense but colorados tackling is very sloppy, and there defense is just horrible. I would like to see the Rockets win but I thought it would be a lot closer game. I cant believe Colorado's coach has been there for 4 years with a record of 13-25, I agree this will be his last season with the Buffalos. By the way Opelt's uncle is my towns mayor.

Colorado looked anemic against Colorado State the first game. Bad throws, bad hands...just not much offense for Colorado at all.

Hawkins left the SMURF TURF and the Rocky Mountain High isn't working for him so well.

Toledo has some good athletes on offense and CU doesn't have the talent to match up with it. It's a good win for the MAC, but I think the jury is still out on the Rockets...however that offense could give OSU some problems next week.

Just a side note, Cody Hawkins is awful and I wouldn't be shocked to see Dan get fired at the end of the season. For a Big 12 team, they just aren't very good at all phases of the game.

Yeah I can't tell if its a good Toledo team or an awful Colorado team but I'm guessing some of both. Toledo has great athletes especially on offense, but their defense just got two picks by terrible reads by that QB. That looks like possibly the worst QB I have ever seen in the Big 12. Awful tackling at all levels of defense, especially on Opelt. Poor defensive discipline. And honestly, this could be the worst performance I've ever seen by a Big 12 team ... they look totally incompetent. Give Toledo credit, though. Offense showed more versatility than last week at Purdue. This team could easily be a force in the MAC this year.

So ... new coach at CU next year? How fun will it be to see former coach's son get benched by the new coach?

Toledo is just wearing them out! While I hate to cheer for Toledo, tonight I am doing that very thing. This should be a big win for UT. I'd like to see this momentum carry over for the MAC into Saturday!

Looking at CU's schedule:

Colorado State L
at Toledo L
Wyoming
at West Virginia
at Texas
Kansas
at Kansas State
Missouri
Texas A&M
at Iowa State
Oklahoma State
Nebraska

0-12 is a real possibility. Wow.

Any win for the MAC against a BCS team is huge, regardless if that team is good or not. While I hate rooting for Toledo too, I'm glad to see them winning and I think if they can keep this up, the BG/UT game at the end of the year could be an interesting one to watch.
