CU defense played well especially vs the run. Great pick by jalil and major and bonsu played great. The offense was awful. CU time and time again had drives that STARTED in CSU territory and got nothing. This should have been a 41-3 game easily. OL still making too many penalties.
Overall, we won and won easily but the offense must be better,especialy with that good field position.
The defense was was up and down, I thought. The CSU quarterback completed 70% of his passes, which was bad. The 3 INT's were very nice. The sacks to close out the game were nice, wish we could have gotten more pressure when the game was still in doubt.
Offense = bad and it still starts up front. OL gets ZERO push and for all the NFL guys we supposedly have up there, CSU's defensive line manhandled them on occasion. Also way way way too many offensive penalties.
Great victory, need to clean up the mistakes before next week though - GO BUFFS!!
We still can't figure out how to play two good halves. Whatever though, first week of the season. OL needs to get better and the offense will look a lot better imo.
Defense didn't give up any big plays which was nice to see. I thought it was a good job by them overall but Im cautious because I don't think CSU had much of a offense to begin with.
Offense is a joke. Way too many penalties. Have to clean that up. I like Clemons and Patterson speed dimension they give the team. I thought Hansen was inaccurate a few times as well. OL started to get the running game going in the 2nd half.
I agree that the OL diidn't look great today, but it's game 1 and lots of teams look bad at first. Florida looked awful against Miam(OH) today.
WWWWAAAAAYYYY too many penalties - not much has changed on that front from last year, but I'm still happy with the win.
as far as the O... i have to wonder that going into the 2nd half with a lead like that and the D playing as they did, if they didnt just take the foot off the gas pedal totaly in an attempt to not show too much to Cal.
any thoughts on that?
the 2nd half was like watching snails ****.
no matter what, not terribly impressed with the O. as said above, way too many penalties and no killer instinct in any way shape or form. i could not belive that they were not under center trying to pund the ball.
We got to clean up the penalties and dropped passes. Speedy is not an everydown RB and I like what I saw from that frosh Torres. Lockridge didn't do jack in the running game. Time to put Torres at backup and he will be ready to be the lead horse in the PAC-12.
We really took the gas off the pedal and we need to not do that but I'm still pleased about the most important thing which is a W.
Impressed by 70% completion when he threw 5 yards patterns all day? They played the frosh straight up and let him dink and dunk. We wrapped up, tackled great all day. The D was solid.Originally Posted by Lt.Col.FrankSlade
The O, specifically TH, left a lot on the field. I thought the OL played pretty damn well, two of those sacks were on Hansen for not getting rid of the ball and trying to do too much. Hopefully the penalties get cleaned up and the coaches and TH go over the film and see all they left out there. As Syko said, we should of had 4o if not a helluva lot more.
It's still a 21 point w. They play like this offensively and they'll get smoked next week at Cal. Lot of room for improvement but I was encouraged. Still not sold on this team however.
As fans at least me, I get too critical and think every drive considering the play should be a score. I just thought cu left a bunch of potential points out on the field considering where the drives started from. Happy that we won of course but wanted a bigger blowout.
One thing is for sure,patterson and clemons are playmakers and jon major is as good as advertised. Our OL needs to be more physical imho
An underwhelming victory but the defense looked very good, albeit against a bad CSU o-line. Jalil's pick before the half was awesome and I liked the subsequent play-call going for the throat, but Hansen just threw a bad pass. The receiving corps is definitely a strength now with Patterson, McKnight, and Clemons. For now the jury's still out on this team.
If Speedy goes down we're toast.
this. 70%? fine when is for about 5 yards per pass. im not too worried about that.
however, that kid is going to be good and will give CU pleanty of headaches over the next 3 years. i am not looking forward to that.
oh yeah, the mtn broadcast is a total ****ing joke. From production, to terrible homer announcers, it was like sticking needles in my urethra.
those announcers were comically bad. amazing how bad they were. other than memorizing the players names, which they didnt do correctly, i dont think they put any reasearch into this game at all. they were just comical.
