CU vs. Cal - Oct 15th Pregame Thread

There's a lot to like about McCowen. But Shrout moves the ball downfield and the release of the ball is electric. I believe Shrout deserves to start moving forward with McCowen in mop up duty or come in if Shrout is ineffective. I expect they both play given the strength of defenses the Buffs play down the stretch.

Shrout has the advantage of experience. He has been looking at college defenses in practice and meetings for the last few years while McCown was playing HS ball.

I think McCown can be a quality P5 QB but giving time to Shrout isn't going to hurt his development.

If McCown is hurt, even if he can play with it there is benefit to letting him get healthy and let JT take the hits.

Biggest concern with Shrout is his tendency to throw the ball to the other team.

No, dear god, no. Holy mother Mary please tell me this person has someone living with him. Please tell them to take all the leftover paint, cleaning supplies, and sharp objects away from him BC he has had too much to drink.

In this game, Strout did what he has done all year. He made two really good throws and for all intents and purposes, followed them up with four really bad ones. For as much hate as Lewis got for his passing ability, it's hard to take people seriously when they're advocating for someone who is statistically worse. So Strout has a cannon? Great so does every Juco pitcher in the nation. We have finally settled on the kid at QB, don't you dare disturb my peace


Brian, if you read this, you also need to stop. You don't need to appear objective to be considered a good journalist when covering college sports.

Your argument is nothing more than the ball shifted while he maintained possession but after his foot left the ground, thus incomplete. You're the guy arguing the call against megatron was correct BC he "didn't make a football move." Your prerogative but I will kindly suggest you go back to dungeons and dragons or world of Warcraft, you nerd.

Literally the only thing that will get me to stop watching cu games is a return to the 2014 era of cfb officiating. No one wants to listen to a nerd with a BA in communications discuss the ontology of "maintaining complete control of the ball throughout the process of the catch," let alone watch the replay fifty times with intermittent shots of the ref doing his best obgyn impression for 10 minutes. I'd rather categorically award any questionable play either a catch or no catch based on a predefined rule, with zero room for interpretation over wtf 2015 was. Ffs, we can flip a coin for all I care. Diving catch, close call? Step ob in the corner of the end zone at the end of a game? Don't care, I've seen what nerds like you do to entertainment. My god, the saying is seared into my brain from the trauma.
Bent musberger> Idk partner looks like a catch to me
Kirk Herbstreit> well you see here Brent the nose of the ball touched three blades of grass and shifted it ever so slightly, so did it survive the process of the catch?
20 minutes later
Refs> after review, we have no idea what the rule actually means, so after 20 minutes of deliberation, the play stands as called. 1st down

Yep. And already posted but give this tweet a like if you have not already. Make it his most popular tweet. People feed off of that.



I really like seeing our CU Pres out there. Good sign.

BUT…… I really hope this doesn’t mean the coaching search is now focused on the interim coach as our new permanent HC? Do you all think this win makes them focus in on Sanford?

CU most likely will lose against Oregon St next. 🦫 beat Wazzu 24-10. WSU has a better offense than CU and could only score 10.

Saliman isn’t hiring the HC, so no.
 
That was a helluva game! I could never understand that CU had some quasi-dudes at their former schools come in, and look like three-day-old soda left out in the sun? Granted, this was against Cal, but to hold Cal’s “phenom” RB to ineffective, and do a decent job on a 5th year senior QB was a world away from getting gashed for 600+ by ****ing Arizona. Sadly, we now can wonder the “what if” of RG canning Dorrell and Wilson before the season, or after the massacre in The Springs.

This could be no more than a completely different energy that the locker room has now, but so many players showed up. Woods and MLC definitely wanted to win, and it showed. Reed made some plays.

I’m not sold on Sanford, given his record. Hopefully he does well enough from here on out to get picked up and bought out by a big program as a rehab project. Just the energy injection alone should have RG and Saliman or a search firm (PD can go **** off on this search…) looking for a younger, high-energy coach with a coordinator/assistant staff to match. Y’know like ones that the kids can “relate to”. Not a zombie coach that has a suspected “his way or the highway” approach.
 
Finally got home and I'm able to watch the game. I'm sure most of you were at the game so have not seen the broadcast but the camera work is laughably bad. Where does the pac-12 network get these fools?
Pay peanuts, get monkeys.
 
How bout Woods? He made two of the 4 stops in OT and had that huge hit in the first half. Do we win without him?
Love his game he's a big hitter arguably the best player on D. His style of play in today's CFB world is probably going to get him a few targeting calls but it's fun to watch and reminds me of a few former Buffs.
 
What is he talking about? Possession is control. He had control from the time he touched it, and his foot was on the ground for several frames after that. If the booth didn’t see it clearly in HD frame-by-frame, shuttling back and forth over and over (not in a Twitter clip), they would not have overturned the call on the field.
They did not see in HD. Replay gets the feed shown by the TV network. Did you see the garbage product produced by the P12 network on Saturday? It was hardly HD, frame by frame, etc.
