OFFICIAL CU vs. ASU game thread 10/7/23
- Thread starter Bread
- Start date
I think this is why we’ll see more movement than expected after the season. Even some who may seem like big contributors. Prime has alluded to this and said as much. Much is laid bare and revealed during tough wins and big losses, Prime sees all
Not sure Lil Wayne would agree.
I’ve been watching Arizona for 5 minutes and I’m worried about our defense
Thank God it's in Boulder.
It could be snowing that day.
Hunter will be back so at least we will have that going for us, which is nice.
They don't handle physicality well. USC and TCU are soft teams. Arizona State isn't soft. They suck but they aren't soft. Colorado is a weak team with great stamina and is in excellent shape. That's why you rarely see injuries and they do their best late but are weak, get bullied easily, and are weak. Oregon, Nebraska, and ASU were all physical with us. Nebraska turnovers lost them that game, especially the QB's TOs. We lack strength. We need to recruit bigger players.
So much about our success is going to be due to 2 and 12 till we bring in more studs. Hopefully, we can develop some like McClain and Miller but they are true freshman.
They were horrible till the middle of the 3rd to the end. They tend to wear teams out. I need them to produce in the 1st two quarters.
TBH, USC hasn't shown up yet, as evidenced by their offense being shut out.
Obviously Colorado has line deficiencies.
A lot of those bigger players have other options and I’m sure wanted to see how Prime and his strategy played out this year. It’s worked. Fully expect to start pulling those bigger players this recruiting/transfer cycle. A full year with Coach Mo is going to make a pretty big difference next year too. The gains that the players that came in in January were evident.
DL got dominated most of the game but did come on in the end and rush the passer when we had to.
Serious need for a couple of big, strong guys who can plug the middle and control the inside running game while getting some inside pressure on the pocket.
Coach Mo looks good but the health of the players and they are in such great shape but man, they are weak but a lot of them also lack size.
Reggie Young looked like the RT we had at JSU in Shedeur's first year. Complete turnstile.
Not looking forward to that Oregon State game
That's the biggie for us but our team with Hunter is not the same team, especially on offense.
Yeah, abject disaster.
Ultimately, Colorado will need some dawgs to increase the attitude. Matching oppositional intensity is not a recipe for success.
You can say Burrito's name here. This is a safe space.
It seems like Juju didn't play. Not sure if he was hurt. He is the only one who can play at this level.

Shedeur’s very cool but who the heck wears a watch anymore? Flashing a watch seems kinda nerdy and 1990s….

Either Jatta is hurt or the worst OL ever if Young beat him out of PT.

I started as a freshman at CU in the fall of 2012. Tonight was the Buffs' 10th road conference win during that time frame, two of which came during the COVID season. So, I won't spend any time dwelling on the negatives. This team has real deficiencies and we knew that coming in, but 6 wins is my goal, and we are on target for that at the halfway point.
I think Shedeur was the most important factor in the win tonight. His stat line was just okay, but he stepped up and made a big play every time we needed one. With a QB that good, you can never totally count the Buffs out. I also think the mental toughness and the never-quit attitude is a real strength of this team. Yes, their deficiencies are getting them into these tough situations in the first place, but so many teams wilt and let games get away from them when things are bad. Those two strengths - the QB play, and the mental toughness to stick around in games - should keep this team competitive and fun to watch for the rest of the season.

They both shrunk today. Not unexpected, but they will learn from today. Good thing Antonio was listening to TO.
