Both teams are 1-7 in conference (Utah, by some miracle, got their only Pac-12 win against Furd) and 4-7 overall. They've also lost 5 straight now. I expect the big difference to be the fact that we're playing there. Da Yutes are a lot like CU - much better at home than on the road. Their only road win is @ BYU (not too different than CU winning in Denver in some ways). But they're 3-3 at home, which is where they got Furd. Unless their QB change totally buries them, our road struggles and their tendency to be better @ home probably tip things their way....
I'm banking on MacIntyre>>>>Willingham and out game plans him
And there it is. Thanks.
Didn't Wheeler get a pick 6 that game? Also, I think we wore black helmets with a silver buff on them? That's been many moons ago but I did watch it lol.
Man did he have a rough night.
How the hell did we end up with 29? I stopped listening because my son charged a bunch of **** on Xbox live. Hmm, I was not happy.
We went for two to make it 40-29, then completely missed recovering the onsides kick.
No excuse for McCulloch to not have gotten that ball, went right through his hands.
And this was actually one of his better games. I've never seen a defender leave his feet so much when trying to make a tackle. When you're in midair, you can't move with the ballcarrier, you either end up hitting him hard (happens rarely) or you get completely juked (frequent). Basic stuff that I'm sure Hawk & Co. never addressed and got unfixable.
That was the coldest game I've ever attended. 12-0 final, two top ten teams, and I think it's still the last time that K State has been shutout.
My buddy got kicked out if that game for throwing snowballs. I remember it being cold and a night game.
If they could find a way to put a a couple better lineman, receivers, tight ends and running backs around him, that wouldn't hurt either, right...
Neither team was as hungry as bb2. We got Jimmy'd and Joe'd. Absolute worst officiating I've ever witnessed. They were bigger and faster by far. D played was fun to watch and made some great stops. I'm afraid of Utah, we'll need to have our head screwed on straight when we go in there.
'91 fusker game was colder. Wind chill was below zero well before kickoff.

I'm gonna toss out a hugely unpopular question/statement...Gillam didn't look great last night. He was consistently burned by the cutback because he over pursued and whiffed on a bunch of arm tackles. I said it in the chat room last night and was lambasted. People said he still had double digit tackles, but that was wrong. He only ended up with 4 solo and one assist. Was Gillam exposed against much better players or was this his freshman bad game?
He's a true frosh, so I expect mistakes to be made. If he had a bad game, he was certainly due. Anyone know what the injury was and will he be back next week?
Another thought was if he's exposed, he's the best we got, so hopefully maturity and coaching can close the gaps you mentioned. Who's behind him?

I'm behind definitely behind him and this wasn't an attack on him. I was just musing and wanna see other thoughts.
I'll defer to Duff on upside evaluations for Gillam
I agree that he's wearing down. He is really hesitant to body anybody up and is mostly arm tackling or grabbing and holding on. He's been a warrior and his intincts are still getting him to the ball, but he has a freshman body. Looking forward to great things from him.
He'll put on some strength and weight, he'll be fine. How good will he be? I don't know but he will be good enough if we infuse some talent around him.
Talking about Gillam and Sefo btw.
Was impressed with the crowd. For the late start start of break and cold temps, there were a pretty good showing.
Team showed a lot of heart in that second half, even gave me a flicker of hope there at the end. In the end the talent gap was simply too big.

I was at that game. It was also at night. GaDamnIt was it cold.
