How did this game get scheduled?

Toledo hosts Colorado tonight. Buffaloes are favored over Rockets by 3.5 at offshore and online sportsbooks and 4 in Vegas.  The total hovers around 54, while gametime weather in the 60’s and a 20% chance of rain.

Lots of questions at Colorado.  Such as:

• Does the coach’s son have a firm grip on the QB job? 
• How did this veteran offensive line go up against what appeared to be a shaky Colorado State defensive front and gain only 29 yards?  
• Why is mega-recruit Darrell Scott getting only two touches against Colorado State? 
• What are they doing traveling to take on a MAC school on a Friday night after a Sunday night game?
• Is there a coach on a hotter seat than Dan Hawkins?  
• Does his team want to save his job?

Purdue’s offense were like kids in a candy store against this Toledo D.   Purdue’s Ralph Bolden, injured last year,  ran for over 230 yards and said, “I was like, ‘I’m reading my keys and everything,’ then they hiked the ball,” he said. “I was really surprised at how big the hole was, and that I was able to do that off my first carry.”

Toledo hardly “brings it” on defense, but the Rockets did pass for 426 yards and notch 26 first downs against a relaxed Purdue defense.

How this game plays out probably depends upon whether or not unsettled Colorado “brings it” themselves on a short week.  This would be a short price to lay with superior athletes.  But can you trust the Buffs?
