I concur. As you already know, 34 of 44 in CU's two-deep against nebraska were listed as either a frosh. or sophomore. As you also know, CU lost 11 players to season-ending injuries for a grand total of 109 lost games in the two deep. Three academic suspensions killed us.
Yes, we need more, and we're getting more. BUT, of those returning players, Ryan Miller and Marques Simas probably give us the biggest bang for our buck. Simas was a four-star athlete out of Cali, that most people felt was way-underrated. Who, you ask? Coach Brown (secondary) says that they've got nothing to slow the kid down. CU led the Big XII in pass defense for most of this season (if not all of it)--Brown knows what he's talking about. Simas makes a difference.
Okay, Cody's "physical limitations" have been discussed ad naseum. But, behind an average line, as a true freshman he passed for 3000 yards. Also, he displayed sufficient leadership to lead teams to victory against Texas Tech, #3 Oklahoma and ummm....nebraska. Joey Ganz didn't beat a ranked team. In fact, as we all know, nebraska, as a team hasn't beaten a top 20 team since 2001 (I'm sorry if you're tired of hearing that).
So Cody isn't the cream of the Big XII. BUT, he's shown a little something a long the way.
I've got no answer for that, or numbers 3 or 4. Good points, and certainly areas for improvement.
For a bunch of freshmen and sophomores, thrown to the Big XII wolves? Plenty of heart. I think you misdiagnosed that one. Just my opinion.
