California is coming off of an impressive home win over Southern Miss last week 34-2 It´s a great win for a young team like California but it can be a curse for them also. The tendency for a young team is to relax after such an easy win. That problem is compounded by the fact that their opponent coming in is used to winning but is coming in off of a loss. California has some talent and will make some plays but I don´t think they are going to have the full effort necessary to get this win. Their opponent is a dangerous one and that´s one of the hardest things for young teams to learn.
Colorado St. was sorely disappointed last week when they had to take a loss as home to their in-state rivals Colorado. I know they will be chomping at the bit to get back on the field and they have the opportunity to do that vs. a Pac-10 school. This will fire this team up as will their status as an underdog in this game. Colorado St. has held their own in recent seasons vs. the teams from the bigger conferences and I am certain they can handle themselves vs. this opponent especially coming in off of the loss.
