As much as I believe that Cody was not a big 12 caliber QB, I am not happy with the way the QB situation has been handled by this coaching staff. Near as I can tell Hansen has thought he would be redshirted since three weeks before the CSU game so he has not been groomed to take over. Even during the past week he was still trying to decide. I wonder how many snaps he has been taking in practice.
So now that we are coming up on the midway point of the season we are throwing a new QB onto the field. I expect CU to struggle on offense for a few games until Hansen gets up to speed - even OU's offensive production has been down when the backup came in even though he is a talented player.
Does CU have to simplify offense? I hope at a minimum they put in some deep patterns with Simmons to stretch the defense which hopefully will set up the running game. CU's big challenge is going to be scoring enough points to win, last year and this year we see the old 14 to 17 points a game against Big 12 caliber opponents.
I wonder how long a leash that Hansen will get from the coaching staff. They still have to win games and I wonder how much patience they will have if Hansen struggles.
