I think it helps that Colorado has played: Colorado State, Idaho State, Oregon, Oregon State, and Arizona State.
Against Michigan and USC, they put up 28 and 17 points respectively. The 28 against Michigan are impressive given that the Wolverines are tops in scoring defense at 10 per game, but 17 points is actually fewer than USC has given up on the season (24) on average.
Colorado State (75th at 29 ppg), Idaho State (FCS), Oregon (125th at 42 ppg!), Oregon State (88th at 31 ppg), and ASU (106th at 34) all have rather porous defenses, to say the least.
We will be the second best scoring defense Colorado faces at 35th overall with 22 ppg, notwithstanding the debacles against the Washington schools. So, I think predicting the Colorado score to fall in the 20's is reasonable, as long as our corners are up to the task.
