Lots to cover … Action: San Jose State wins Military Bowl, finishes 11-2. Reaction I: Unreal. Reaction II:*Even the most optimistic projections had the Spartans winning nine games (eight reg season + bowl). Not only did they win 11, they won 11 by beating BYU and LaTech and by thumping the teams they were supposed [...]

Reaction II: Colorado fans should expect MacIntyre to sign a bevy of big-framed, versatile athletes and worry about their position down the road. Many will end up at linebacker or tight end, but a few could grow into tackles. He believes a lean 250-pound prospect with the potential to add 30 or 40 pounds has far more long-term value than a 300-pounder with substantial body fat. The best example on SJSU’s roster is Travis Raciti, who was signed as a 255-pound TE/OLB/DE and grew into a 285-pound tackle good enough to start for many teams in the Pac-12 (and eventually play in the NFL). It will take a few years, obviously, but MacIntyre will eventually transform the CU roster into a more talented, and far more versatile, group.

Agreed. Nothing groundbreaking. You could add Hartigan to the above players as well. I do believe it is a slight change in philosophy from Embree, who recruited ready-made DTs at +-300#s. Many folks here wanted "no more projects on the D line". Of course, maybe they were just referring to Canadian rugby players.
