Interesting comment from Embree presser

On Pressure from CSU
"We also expect pressure, we worked on some things. We had some screens that is obviously a good answer for it, did not execute those. One would have been a really big play so that's one way to do it. And then there are some other things that we're going to be able to do. I can't say but there are things that we have to do to answer and to also help us with our run game too. I am involved on both sides of the ball heavily, I am in the defensive meeting room a lot, going over stuff with Brownie (defensive coordinator Greg Brown) and the stuff I like and don't like, things I think we should do. And so you know, I see some things and that's what I am trying to get when I talk with the offense, talk about some of the things we need to do because it will help with the pressures because I know, when certain things happen, when I hear the defensive coordinator go 'Oh blank' because of a certain player formation, that's something you know makes him take five or six of his calls off his call sheet. Those are the kinds of things we have to make sure were doing offensively so were diverse enough that we can talk people out of doing some of the things they do from a pressure stand point."

I basically read that as CU can be too predictable on offense. Any other comments?

Not just too predictable, but unable to execute our basic plays.

I can agree with that. Unfortunately, this weekend (should) tell us nothing due to the talent deficit. Oh, well - we will know in games 3-5!
