Miller at RT will continue. Do we have a new starting 5? Irwin-Kough-Lynott-Haigler-Miller?

Edit, based on this, it was Haigler that got benched or injured. So it would be Irwin-Kough-Huckins-Lynott-Miller.
I think how this unit improves, or doesn't, is a major factor for whether we are having fun the rest of this season or just hanging on for a bowl game.

I thought OSU was in Corvallis this year.
Anaheim
It'd better be, I plan to drive down and see it. I'm guessing '68's first and third sentences were about the chards.
****, that's gonna be a long drive.
I like that lineup. At least Adams is committed to find the right combo.
Yup. Still having a lot of issues at center, but Haigler was a real problem spot, which is one of those real bad surprises this year. Miller has solidified the line both times he has played. Hope the benching turns Haigler's season around. We will probably need him again, because the question with Miller is health.
I don't think it will take a miracle for that group to be competent, but the depth is scary.
What, you aren't excited about Brett Tonz!!?
Bad sentence structure on my part. The “it” to which I was referring was the AZ game.
I had already clarified Grandma.
it will get very hostile.

Preflight brew
Things to watch:
1) Montez TO's
2) Our OL;
3) Can our defense handle the horizontal stretch this Zona offense will put on them? This is the kind of game where Gamboa can get exposed.

It’s also what our defense is built for though, I mean we pretty much play 3-4 with a safety at outside backer.

I am trying to figure out what is wrong with the CU offense especially when it comes to scoring so I would add Red Zone Efficiency to your list.
OL.
And catching the ball... but mainly OL
In theory... yes.
You don't think this defense is better equiped to stop an offense like Arizona versus a team like Washington or UCLA?

Won't know until we see the game. Rosen and Browning are more pocket passers (Stevens also). First time they will go up against a zone read type of QB. AZ put up yards on Utah who appears to have a pretty good defense.
Also, Texas state def broke a few on us when we got the alignment wrong. We do that against AZ and those are tds
I'm not really getting this in terms of relevance to what the Buffs defense is better at defending. I think it is pretty clear they struggle against big physical teams, even going back to last year. We have a smaller, quicker defensive line, a rover that plays linebacker for us and good safeties that help out in the run game. I would rather face an offense like Arizona with what we have than a Stanford for example.
Agreed in regards to number 3. CU has struggled with Dawkins the last couple years and Arizona seems to be a lot better on offense and defense this year. Stop Dawkins and I think we will be ok on the defensive end.
As in, I think RichRod will try and get us out of alignment and run at us to see if he can break one. Our DL, outside of one guy, is inexperienced.
