I guess we're a running team

That pass completion to the tight end that should have been picked off by two UMASS defenders was wtf worthy.
Carr showed good elusiveness between the tackles too (I think on his second rush). I was very encouraged by it because it's something we don't see much of from our other trio.
the coaching staff had a decent game plan in place, made a couple adjustments, and didn't **** it up this week.
We'll see if they can do the same next week.

Today's UMASS is better than the team we played last year. They made big strides toward the end of the season last year. In their camp this fall they thought that their DB situation was much better than last year. Frohnapfel and Sharpe will go to the NFL next year. That is as good a QB/receiver combo as we will see. Sad for them that those two are their whole offense.
...but I agree it does show progress. Also, perhaps, that we are a terrible road team.
We were pass first to start, but I am grateful the saw the running success and stuck with it. The WR blocking downfield on runs was very good - best I have seen in years.
Love the running game and Adkins is a bad ass. Love the way he takes the ball and hits the hole. No messing around, no dancing. Just tough, hard nosed running and always falling forward. He is turning into an absolute beast.
Love the running game. This exactly what Sefo needs. We can't be leaning on him to win games. It just doesn't work.
I'm mostly glad to see the kids play hard and with fire. Refreshing. I hope they can bring that every week, because that's what it takes to turn this thing around. Go Buffs!

That's what I thought too until I saw the replay and it was clearly tipped by a defender near the line.

Yes, after two games we have no idea where this team is headed, because the disappointing loss was to a weak team on the road, and the thrilling rout was against a weak team at home. Next week may clarify things, but more likely we'll have to get to the P12 before we know if this year's Buff edition can win some conference games at home, which to me is the bottom line for showing improvement. The running success is intriguing, but as others have noted Sefo will have to step up and lead a balanced attack once the Buffs move on past Nichols State (which is considerably worse than UMass).
For now though, beating CSU is critical to bowl hopes - I don't think we win without some effective and timely passing.

This is best read in the voice of the Indian in 'Dances With Wolves' that does the 'Tatanka' part.

So what happens when the run isn't working? Buffs still need to be good in the passing game, we aren't going to run for 390 yds again this year other than nicholls.

Dreadful no, mediocre ...yes.sefo has regressed as a 3 yr starter.
Just loved what we saw today in the running game.
Still can't wrap my mind around why we didn't commit and stay committed last week to the running game. Either way, our oline just manhandled guys on the dline today.
Love what we are seeing from our rb's as well. Love what each rb brings to the game. The wildcard is going to be Carr. That guy has speed we haven't seen at the rb position in a long time. He can be very, very special and will only get better.
What's even better for next week, is we get D. Lee back. I really hope we see designed plays to get D. Lee and Carr involved next week. If we can get them the ball and some room, then I like what we can do.
Also, we need to find a way to get Sefo some confidence. Not sure what's up, but the best thing for a shell shocked QB is a running game.
All I ask next week is for Lindgren to stick with the running game. Even when we get down or we don't see some early success. Stick with it and I think we can open some things up.

That was what I saw. What I also saw was Bobo and Ross starting to show a "why am I out here?" demeanor between plays. It is as though Sefo just looks for Spruce every play and then rolls out to the right if Spruce is covered. Sefo needs to learn field vision if this team is going to go anywhere.

Need to line these guys up in the slot on some 5-wide sets and get them involved in some short crossing patterns where they can have room to run after the catch.
I'm a little biased as they were both my favorite recruits from the last two classes. However, I don't care how we get either one the ball in space, just make it so.
