Any time a defense can dominate the line of scrimmage the way FSU did, things will not be pretty.
I continue to wonder what the heck Helfrich is thinking. For the first time since Purify graduated we have a stable full of talented running backs. But the offense that CU runs, seems dedicated to showcasing the quarterback.
Cody is a decent player. If I had to pick an adjective to describe him it would be "serviceable". He appears to be the type of quarterback who is going to make good decisions, has pretty good accuracy and not likely to implode. He reacted about the way every other quarterback would react with heavy rush pressure. In short, he's not the kind of quarterback you run your entire offense through. Chase Daniel? Yes. Sam Bradford? Yes. The overthrows were simply unbelievable.
Some FSU posters have stated plainly that the Seminoles simply did not respect any deep ball threat from CU. It wasn't until the fourth quarter that the passing game really seemed to click and I believe that was because FSU is beginning to back off to preserve the win.
I am not calling for Cody's head, nor my saying that he isn't the best quarterback the Buffs have right now. I am wondering why in the devil we don't play to the apparent strength of the squad which is the running game.
At the end of the day, the buffs are three and one. If you had told me at the beginning of the season they would come out of the out of conference schedule, 3-1, I would have been thrilled. This still looks like a seven when team to me.
