I am extremely curious to see how the RB room shakes out. Particularly, will one of the more experienced guys (like McCaskill) separate themselves to be a dominant force, and does Edwards unseat one of the older guys for playing time.Which position battles are you most interested in?
Anxious might be too strong of a word here, but I really want to see how the front 7 comes together.What position groups about which do you feel most confident or anxious?
Most anxious about the trenches on both sides. Feeling good elsewhere, but hard for other units to reach full potential if we can’t block anyone/shed blocks.Which position battles are you most interested in?

Kind of a cop out answer to the question but I’m most intrigued by what freshmen get playing time and who might go over the 4 games played threshold.
Kind of a cop out answer to the question but I’m most intrigued by what freshmen get playing time and who might go over the 4 games played threshold. Dylan Edwards mentioned Omarion Miller as a standout freshman. Obviously Edwards has ridiculous speed and he squats big time weight, that it won’t be a surprise if/when he sees the field. Milliner-Jones, Stoutmire, and McCoy are all freshmen who have much bigger frames than we are accustomed to here. While Cormani has an adjustment period, it sounds like he is so smooth and fluid so far that it will be hard to keep him off the field. I wouldn’t be surprised if Morgan Pearson moves into the 2 deep at ILB given his frame and that the staff liked him. Lots of fun questions.
Most confident about OG/OC and safety because those positions will have some BATTLES. I am confident that our defensive front will be versatile and have a lot of different ways to rotate.
Unlike the recent past when we were hoping a kid could develop into a P5 level player in time a lot of these guys are planning to be playing at the next level in five years.I get the sense that the four game threshold isn't as much a concern under Coach Prime as other coaches. If they can add value to the team, even if for only a few plays per game on special teams, then they will play.
Hahaha, "the pleasantly not surprised category"One of the players that I think will surprise that not many people talk about is Bishop Thomas.
I don't know if this has already been posted elsewhere, but the latter part that shows the team meeting is amazing:
What the hell was that? I saw no yoga or water park trips or guitar strumming or penalty kicks or leapfrog!!! I saw coaches who were on the emotional peaks instead of being in the valleys or that emotionless middle ground!!!!! I thought this was supposed to be football?!?!?!?!
Why?Team and energy seems a little different than last winter
If they figure out how to make the OL top half in the Pac 12 this year, they have a great shot at 8+ wins, IMO. IDL has some questions and they would have to stay healthy everywhere else, but OL is the one area that could hold the team back or propel them to a major turnaround.I’m most interested in seeing how safety shakes out. 5 legit dudes for 2ish spots. Good problem to have.
Most anxious about their ability to make a top half of the conference oline out of a bunch of average parts. They figure that out, they have a legit shot at 6+ wins.
As late as the end of September, we thought there was a genuine chance we’d keep Dorrell for another year due to financial restrictions lol. Now look at us.Fall 2022

Thank you Jesus
Yep, and then he gets "his music" on his way into the meeting room and we are off.As late as the end of September, we thought there was a genuine chance we’d keep Dorrell for another year due to financial restrictions lol. Now look at us.
Twitter still remains a daily kick in the nuts for CU fans. Basically non-stop dunking on us. But as Coach Prime says, “too blessed to be stressed,” and that’s what I say in my head when I see an annoying post. Hiring Coach Prime still feels as insanely awesome as it did day 1.
