The Altitude: Fleck flipped it over into Colorado's lap

[RememberMurray]

The Buffs have those "WARNING: HIGH ALTITUDE!" signs around the stadium. It's pure gamesmanship, of course. A clever attempt to get in the opponents' heads.

Fleck turned it back at them. By the third quarter, Colorado's defense were the ones who were gasping for air.

That big, powerful Gopher offensive line had worn them down to nothing. Gophers in charge!

Very similar!

Bottom line: Our big, powerful veteran offensive line and our deep stable of running backs can take us far. And, in games where the running yards are somehow hard to come by, we have a smart, seasoned QB and 3+ excellent wide receivers for his targets.

If the defense can build off of today's stellar showing, we could very well be on our way.
