Nice nice.
This team can/will win it's share of games this season depending on how Montez performs. He looked pretty special as a starter last season, when the coaches let him open up (UO) and didn't throttle him down with play calling (USC). Montez had me thinking quite a bit about John Hessler. John was phenomenal when he stepped in for an injured Koy Detmer in 1995, he had a season for the ages. 1996 saw Hessler having a pretty steep drop off in play.
Anyway, hopefully 2017 sees a great year from Montez and the CU offensive play calling and CU should have another very good year.

Lynott and Irwin looking nasty. If that O-Line can take another step forward, Lindsay might just be able to have the kind of year to get some big time recognition.
His biggest problem, at least while he was here, was that he's a crappy head football coach.
He will always be a great Buff, though.
This is one of the first years I remember seeing the oline and thinking they actually looked like olinemen. Excited

Pretty sure it's the same in our offense. A TE/FB Hybrid i believe.
Going to need Montez to stay healthy. We have basically zero experience behind him with Noyer being coming of his RS Fr. year. The only other scholarship QB is Lytle but I really want to see us getting into the routine of giving our QBs that RS year. If either Montez or Noyer miss a lot of time we better hope that one of the walk-ons can step up and fill in. Keep hearing Marksbury's name in this roll, hope we don't need to find out.
I hope Noyer gets planned snaps in the few games.
I hope CU's offense is such a juggernaut that Noyer plays the 4th quarter most weeks and we all start worrying that Montez will go pro after the season.
That would be one bit of classic Allbuffs hand-wringing I would be ok with.
I have heard good things about him and think he will be at worst a solid backup. As some others here have indicated I hope the coaches figure out ways to get him significant snaps throughout the season so we can have a guy ready to come in who can handle the situation.
It is rare however that a P5 teams gets through the year without having a QB miss at least some time. If either Montez or Noyer goes down though we are one hit away from either burning Lyles RS or playing a WO. My preference would be, especially if it is only for a few plays that it be a WO but we need one to step up and take that role.
Fixed to share what is essentially the same QB post every year on every team's message board. Rinse and repeat.
