I can't wait to see Montez grow as a leader as he gains experience and perspective. He is as skilled as anyone in the nation. At some point that final piece will transform him to another plane.
points csu has scored in their last 7 games -
I have no doubt CU put up lots of points but concerned they will too.
I'm sticking with my 45-29 final score though.
112th, 85th, 53rd, 95th, 19th, 77th, 83rd (2016)... Those are the 2016 scoring defense rankings of those 7 opponents.
Disagree. Stopping CSU comes down to stopping their run game first and foremost. Make them one dimensional
I'm mainly excited to see our offense. Legit oline, one of the tome receiving corp's in the country, great RB, and a dynamic QB who might be the best natural passer we've had in a looonnnggg time.
If Montez can make the right decisions with the ball, then there could be some fireworks from CU on Friday

If I was the CSU coach, I'd make Montez beat me. Load the box and keep Lindsay from taking over the game. They can't play us straight up. We have too much strength, size and depth for them to even try it. They have to overload one part of the field and hope we make mistakes in the other. Montez needs to be the man on Friday.

Defensively, they're screwed. They can't do what you're saying and put 7 guys in the box because they have no one to cover Fields, Ross, Bobo, Winfree, etc. man-to-man. Nor can they play nickel or dime defense all game because then our OL and Lindsay will eat them alive.
They have to pick their poison. Either get eaten alive by a steady diet of Lindsay or skewered by Montez. The likelihood of Lindsay making a bunch of mistakes is pretty low. They have to hope they can force Montez into a few bad decisions, while keeping the running game in check. Montez needs to step up. I believe he will. But this is his first game where it's his team. It will be interesting to see how he handles that.
I like the fact that Montez can hurt them both through the air and on the ground.
Yeah, but can he dropkick?
by double digits if it's 0.
WITH BOTH FEET!!!
Yes, but not with both feet yet
Across the board we are a better team. You are right in that we can beat them either way.
The chances of us making a mistake on any given play is much higher when we are throwing the ball but the overall chance of us making a mistake is higher the more plays it takes for us to move the ball and score.
If they try to make us beat them over the top we will. Our receivers will light up the scoreboard and they won't be able to keep up.
Force us to run and on any given long drive they have a chance of us turning the ball over or making a mistake like a penalty or blown play to kill the drive.
Their best hope is to keep the score down, keep us in range, and hope for one or two big plays late to turn the game in their favor. If it turns into a scoring fest we win big, keep the score down and they have a punchers chance.
I expect them attack our defense up the middle. I think they will find some success too.

I wouldn't call him young. It's his third year in the program and he's played in some hostile environments.
I tend to agree with this sentiment, but I'd look at net turnovers.
If we're 0 or +, we win.
If we're -1, I still think we win, but it's gonna be close.
If we're -2, I do not like our chances at all.
I think it was Yogi Berra who said, "The best defense is a good offense."
The Buffs have given csu plenty of bulletin board material this week. If they back it up in the first quarter, I think it works in our favor. If not, the rammies might begin to feel like they really can hang.
Seemed to work well in last years game. I'm in on this philosophy!!
