Interesting how Colorado is 0-4 and yet the optimism and excitement for the season and the program remains Flatirons' high.That's because the Buffs' train is comin', maybe soon, to the land of better things.
Not going to be a fool and predict when that might be, as that's a losing man's game, but will say this program will fly again with Captain Dan leading his men.
So what about this week, though? What's going to happen? Here are some possible scenarios to eye.

Why the Buffs will beat Missouri

Why the Buffs will beat Missouri
Hugh Charles streaks through the Tigers' secondary like a rabbit through a forest fire, Bernard Jackson busts out for some long rips, looking like running backs coach Darian Hagan, for a day, a young Mr. Magic, and making just enough plays to tight end Riar Geer and anyone who wants to say they play wide receiver at Colorado.
The defense says "screw this" and scores three touchdowns on a combination of fumble recoveries and interceptions.
CU went to Athens and lost to Georgia in the final minute. How tough can the Tigers be?
CU gets five downs in a pinch.
It's Missouri.
Why they won't
The Tigers establish just enough of a running game with running back Tony Temple and the scrambles of quarterback Chase Daniel, allowing for more time to throw in the passing game, which means Daniel will control the clock, slowly moving Mizzou down the field and on to the scoreboard enough to beat the end-zone phobic Buffs.
CU struggles to generate a consistent running game, sputtering like a teenager's first car, leading to a heated pass rush on Buffs' QB Bernard Jackson, errant throws and not enough sustained drives.
Jackson fails to make the Tigers pay for selfishly trying to crash the backfield, like some frat party, with the result being CU's offense may not be out on the field long enough to break a sweat or say to their classmates they even played in the game
Mason Crosby is trying 60-yard field goals.
Missouri gets five downs.

NOTE....Kyle Ringo of the Daily Camera took some swings at how the game would unfold en route to Columbia. That exchange will be printed Friday.
