Colorado needs two more wins to get bowl eligible, but all five of its remaining opponents have winning records and three are ranked.. The Bruins are allowing only 14.9 points per game, their best scoring defense through seven games since 1988, when they allowed 14.1 points per game. “I don’t think people really appreciate, but I would say the best quarterbacks are probably the toughest quarterbacks. The guys that can stand in there, even though there’s a rush coming, and still deliver the ball where it’s supposed to be and not putting it in harm’s way. And he does that a ton,” UCLA coach Chip Kelly said. “He’s the key, so how he goes is how that offense goes.
“Well, you prepare for the team. You’re not preparing for the individual,” Sanders said. “For us, it’s daunting, because you would prepare for someone like Shedeur and the plethora of receivers that we have. With them, you prepare more for their coach. I’m a Chip Kelly fan. I really am. I love what he’s brought to college football. I love what he’s brought to football period.
