Even if the weather was nice...this woukd be an interesting matchup due to issues with either team.
First Colorado:
Their kickoff specialist and long FG Kicker tore his ACL while making a tackle last week so he is out.
Potential shorter kickoff coukd lead to more returns for Townsend and company.
Also...their short FG kicker (and now maybe their only one) is just 3-5 on the season. He is 2-3 from 20-29 yds out and 1-2 from 40-49 yds out...made a 43 yarder).
However this kicker, transfer from Jackson St, was VERY accurate in the past 2 years:
2022 Jackson St: made 12-13 FGs as a Freshmen.
2023 CU: Hit 10-12 FGs in Boukder as a Soph.
UCF Fans know the issue with their own kicker and BLOCKING linemen and if you mix in weather, you might see both teams going for it on 4th downs more than usual in this one.
