He doesn't take any opponent lightly. This is what you want from a coach. Not sure what the fuss is all about.

This,

He may be ready to tear into the team after the game if they "only" win by 20 but the easiest way to get beat by a team that shouldn't beat you is to act like they can't beat you.

We are less than two years away from losing to Hawaii in a game that we had no excuse to lose. A couple weeks later we only beat CSU 27-24 in a game we could have easily lost. M2 better be doing everything he can to make sure we take CSU seriously.
 
Fisher looks like he got his man growth. His face looks different, too. He's yoked.
 
Everybody does it at a different pace. Some kids have a hell of a time putting on weight or keeping it at 18, 19 years old.
 
A couple good write-ups on which players have stepped up this camp.


Adam's is who made the biggest jump since spring (based on interviews with players during Media Day).
 
We have a sneaky amount of experience for a team that graduated so much. We put 3 DBs into the NFL and yet we return 5 Dbs with significant experience. Afolabi, Worthington, Moeller and Oliver have all started. Throw in Fisher who played in 8 games on defense, including some seriously important minutes, especially vs WSU where he was the conference defensive player of the week. And that's after losing Julmisse.

I don't really miss the days where Brian Lockridge moved from offense to defensive starter during the season. I believe Espinosa did the same.

I can't read about Espinoza without picturing this.

I'm trying really hard not to drink this much koolaid. The sense that I get is the players truly believe they will be better than last year where most of us seem to believe they will be an 8 win team, give or take. I hope the players know more than we do.

The team could end up being better than last year and still win fewer games in the regular season. Pac-12 could be a whole lot stronger.

you mean like CSU who has a starting CB in Hawkins that was a receiver up until the start of fall camp?

It's one thing to move a kid and give him a camp. Brian Lockridge moved during the season, and less than 2 weeks later was matched against Stanford's Luck. But yeah, kind of, but our situation was 10x worse than even that.

He got a full week to prepare for WSU, the week before Stanford!
A 5-foot-7, 180-pound senior, Lockridge had never played a game on defense — not even in high school — before Saturday’s 31-27 loss to Washington State. “B-Lock,” as he is called by teammates, performed better than anyone could have expected, recording five solo tackles and sack -ing WSU quarterback Marshall Lobbestael for a 9-yard loss. But, CU’s defense collapsed in the final five minutes as the Cougars rallied late from a 10-point deficit.
