Well, we're all still pretty excited that Lane Kiffin got fired.

I think the best part about Montez is we've heard about him but hadn't seen anything. It gave me so much hope that this season isn't an anomaly and that we're bringing in players and are ready to start building something great starting with the last class and the next one.

I don't remember exactly when it was, I want to say around 12 minutes left in the 1st q or 2nd q but there was I think an end around type play and Montez was on the far side and it looked like he was casually standing there and just laid the wood to an Oregon defender. If someone knows what I'm talking about or has the game I would love to see it.

Isnt that 6-5, 230 lb Lazer Rocket arm ?
That was Evans not Adkins. I'm pretty sure that Adkins got no run. The announcer called the wrong name a few times.
Correct. Adkins did not see the field as a RB
Everyone should watch this if you haven't.
I loved that response! The poise and swag is something we haven't seen in a long time. Sefo started it at QB but the attitude is spreading.

I like Coah Mac's too. Although that thing below his lip was reminding me of Ted Cruz.

beware the habu
He may become a media favorite.
SIAP: This was pretty cool-
McShay: Steven Montez, QB, Colorado
Montez, a redshirt freshman, was thrust into a starting role at Oregon on Saturday with Sefo Liufau injured. He brought the Buffs back after trailing 38-33 at the beginning of the fourth quarter as they upset Oregon 41-38. Montez made some big-time throws late in the game, gaining 468 yards in total offense (333 passing and 135 rushing) and scoring 4 TDs. He's not draft-eligible this year, but Montez is a name to stock away for 2018.

All based on one game? That's a little over the top, wouldn't you say? The guy has played one game and we are already talking about him declaring for the draft early? C'mon.
McShay has been drinking the buff kool-aid ever since he has started paying attention to Chido.
He is a bit far out with this statement, but its good press. I will roll my eyes at it, but be happy for it.
Until another RS-Fr drops 468 yards of offense and 4 TD's against a recent top national team in their first start, this is a BFD.
Dude has some serious swagger. Love the attitude!
Fantastic column on Montez in the Denver Post: http://www.denverpost.com/2016/09/2...ontez-no-surprise-to-those-who-know-him-best/
Awesome article by the post (weird to say). It is just one game, I know that, but damn that was one hell of a baseline. Definitely have to give props to Lindgren for getting him ready to perform. He called one hell of a game to get Montez confidence and in rhythm.
If Montez can keep improving and never settle, the sky is the limit for him. He has the right combination of arm strength and running ability that seem to be the staple of a great college qb.
My neighbor takes the Post. I was having coffee with her this morning & she asked if I wanted to see the sports page. Not unless there are CU articles, and she handed it to me. Shocking & awesome.
This is a euphemism for something. It's just not coming to be right now. Wait a moment - I think I just got it.

Thought that another key stat based on the amount of rushes Mr. Montez had was that he had 0 fumbles...when he ran he protected the ball, he held that ball pretty high and you could see he had his arm wrapped tightly around it. Smart QB, when rushing...I have to take the yards they give me and protect the ball. He might need some work on finishing the run, he seemed to let up right before getting tackled a few time, and knowing when to slide but stand up performance either way.
Maybe Sefo could take a note from him in this regard

He fumbled on his first big run. He was just able to gather it in so that it wasn't a turnover.
