After reading Rumblin's preview (Ben is da man)...I couldn't help but feel a bit unnerved with the monsters they have up front on special teams.
CU historically hasn't been a program to pull this kind of trickery, but with some of the fresh blood on the coaching staff, do you think we could pull off a timely fake FG or punt to counter their aggressiveness? Just not sure how you stop a couple of 6'6" charging dudes at the LOS on any longer field goal the kicker needs to drive a bit.

You're worried about the monsters they have on Special Teams? I'm worried about the "monsters" they have on the offensive and defensive lines.
As far as special teams goes, Diego has enough leg to make a kick from any reasonable distance without having to adjust to some unusually low trajectory. I will go with you on this ST trickery theme, though. For an upset like this to happen, CU will have to play sound, fundamental football on both O and D (not miss tackles, not overthrow wide open receivers, no dropped passes, etc.), win or at least come out even on the turnover battle, and probably have some sort of big play on Special Teams. A blocked punt or FG that gets returned for a TD, a PR or KR for a TD, or a fake punt of FG that scores or leads to a score. STs will play a role for better or worse on Saturday.
Brown brings 5 or more on 57 percent of pass plays, Peppers 30% of that.
Can tempo negate? Can RBs pick up rushers? Will Frazier have to help? Can Sefo and Kelly adjust protection calls against NFL-like schemes?
CU pass rush has 3 sacks and 8 QBHs in two game.
Not a strength.
Trenches matter.

We don't have many penetrators on our line, but we do have a very stoudt run defense that takes up space and won't be moved. Biggest question mark for me this game is our linebackers and how they react in space. What's going to happen when a Olugbode has to cover Butt. Is Gamboa's speed going to be enough to cover Michigans elite talent? I believe Leavitt has something up his sleeve, but knowing Harbaugh that could backfire on us. Our boys will be ready though, this team has fire.

The thing is, they're the same guys. Chris Wormley is a 6'6'', 300lb end who flies up the middle against FGs.
I'm more of a basketball guy, but I liken it to busting a zone defense/beating a better team with 3 pointers. What's our equivalent of having a few knock down 3 point shooters?
Also, for every part of me that doubts Lindsay as a big play back with the speed to get around the end against this D, I do trust him this year as a blocking back who will do whatever it takes to protect Sefo against a blitzing Peppers.
Any chance Adkins surprises tomorrow? If he is healthy (big if, I know) he could really do some damage.
@FightCu1414 alluded to that last week.
Should be good for a few first quarter carries.

Anyone else concerned with the weather reports? Looking like light rain + lightning/thunder all day long...really want to play this game!
They will play the game. Most models are projecting the storms to be east of Ann Arbor by game time.

Pretty sure most of them have removed boogers from their happy hour menu. Just sayin'..
But that's in Sparty colors. Do Meatchicken bookers have more salt and calories?
