Stanford again exhibits the formula to beat the fast paced PAC 12 teams. Does CU take note this time?
Nope. Just keep passing and getting Sefo killed on 3rd and long.
CU will never 'out Oregon' Oregon. The glory days will only return for us when we build a team around a smash mouth offense and hard hitting defense.

Why is it so much easier to do it that way?
Where do you get the idea CU is trying to emulate Oregon?
We run a spread and have one true TE on the roster.
Stanford is an interesting team.
They have quietly gotten much faster over the past few classes, teams can't beat them with speed like they did a few years ago.
The power game hasn't been sacrificed in the process. Unlike most teams these days they can still line up and pummel people at the LOS which they did last night.
It used to be that they would beat on people with their offensive line setting up 5-15 yard gains by a tough RB. Now they beat teams up setting up long TD runs by guys like McCaffrey who can still get those tough yards but can also take it to the end zone on any play. On how many teams would Barry Sanders jr. be the back-up RB.
Play up against them to stop the run (and they still run over you) and they have talent on the outside to throw it over your head. That catch in the endzone last night was amazing but Stanford had recievers open all night.
Wonder how the screwed up and weren't ready to play a good Northwestern team but if they win out they should be in the playoff
@Devildog are you going to take that ****?!?!
I feel like some people think it's easy to emulate Stanford's offense and that it doesn't require as much speed/talent as the Spread. That's just not the case at all, and CU is no closer to having the horses to be effective with that style of O than it is with the style we are currently running.
Not to mention the team that plays in Boulder
Good call. What does your gut tell you about Michigan-Michigan State tomorrow ... I need to call my bookie.
I'm still debating if it's a good thing or bad thing?

My gut tells me that Michigan State covers, Michigan is coming back but isn't there yet.
That same gut says that that apple turnovers are a better choice for me than a salad so listening to it probably isn't a good idea for you financial health.
Exactly. Stanford has nine players in their OL rotation. Seven were either 5* or 4* players coming out of high school, and that is after they lost former 5* Andrus Peat to the draft.
And you didn't even mention their TEs. They have some guys there who block like linement and are still a threat to catch the ball.
I would argue that when you aren't doing exactly what everyone else is doing and competing for the same talent to run your system as everyone else that it can be easier (see Georgia Tech recruiting guys for the option) but Stanford has a bunch of guys who would be good in any system.
Stanford lost to Utah the last two years in a row and had better talent. This year Utah has the best talent it has ever had for the PAC 12 fight. We won't see Stanford unless we make the championship game. Have you seen Whittingham's bowl record? Utah will beat Stanford.
You make valid points, except the CCG is not a bowl game.
Extra time to prepare and game plan, vs traditional weekly schedule.
Exactly. CCG is one week after the regular season finale, so the bowl game scenario doesn't work.
Except that we play you guys the week before.
Works for me. Prep for Stanford, overlook Colorado. Lose at home, and miss the CCG. Ute fan tears will taste delicious.
I thought your entire reason for visiting Allbuffs was to explain that Oregon was a really good team. Now that it appears that they're not, so much, I assumed that you wouldn't be visiting anymore. Did I not understand this relationship properly?
fify.

I think many fail to recognize the Ute fan base does actually have a far larger degree of your "Joe Utepack" segment of fan commonly found amongst neighbors to the east than one would expect. We need a bit of this as a conference, so it's fine, but UU does have that trait lurking.
If you're implying that we're as good as a bye week to the Utes, you may want to reflect on the fact that Utah hasn't beaten CU by more than a TD in the PAC12, not to mention that CU has kept Utah out of the CCG before.

A McCaffrey-Ballage backfield would've been fan-****ing-tastic.

No debate here. I'm fine with the Utes or any other P12 team beating Stanford.
I was pondering the ass throttling part.
does create a rather disturbing mental image, doesn't it?
