Hate to say it, but I think this game might be the end of our shutout-less streak. Call it a hunch. A hunch I hope proves to be false, but a hunch nonetheless.
The tough thing is that he hit all three of the FG tries fine. It's not like he's shanking them. But just like golf, it's tough to shake a slump like this. Gotta go back to fundamentals and just make solid contact.
I think we've moved to ball well enough, so hopefully some of that will turn into points in the 2nd half. This is the 3rd game in a row where leaving points on the field is becoming all too common.

How depressing. Remember back in the 90's when the Buffs had a great offense year after year? Feels like a lifetime ago. I like Hawk and his philosophy a lot but where's the beef?
well we are getting reminded just how far we have to go. I hope we see a better team this half. We are better than we have been playing.
How big would a 3 and out be here?

Are they? Have you seen the offense look impressive in any meaningful gametime OTHER THAN the CSU game??

I'm with you on that. It's starting to look like the Buffs beat up on a terrible rams team and we all got our hopes up. They struggled mightily against a D1-AA team and needed a last minute pick 6 to win. They scraped by a deeply flawed WVU team, then got whipped by underwhelming FSU team. I don't know what that all means... but it looks pretty bad

I can take losing because our line is banged up but I cannot take losing because we look like a pee wee team with stupid turnovers and missing chip shot field goals.
It was huge!...oh wait...did you mean if we held them to 3 and out? that's just dumb man.:wtf:

I'm disappointed by the straight drop-back. I would have expected more rollouts and moving pockets.
That was for Texas' first possession of the 2nd half. Almost had it too. Had em 3rd and 8 or 9. Try and keep up brown shoe...

Hawkins and his staff had one or two OL on the team when he arrived in Boulder. On top of that, he's had 3 recruiting periods to sign some OL.

Unless Cody guides this team to a TD on this drive and the D can get the ball back without UT scoring this should be Cody's last drive.
Need to get Ballenger or Nelson some PT to see what they can do in real life. And I'm not talking about just letting them hand the ball off a bunch.

Not a bad thought at all. lets get Ballenger in there and see what he can do. I doubt he would get batted down 4 times

Well if that is the case then put me in... At least I would have fun with it.
Need to get a change up in... I think that is how they found Hessler right?
He's signed plenty of o linemen, but if they break their ankles and get their acl's torn, that's not really the coach's fault, you know? Or maybe you think we should recruit the kind of linemen guaranteed not to get hurt?

No- injuries happen. Bad grades happen. And not just at CU, either.
It is the coaches' job to make sure there are enough OL in the program to overcome those sorts of injuries / poor grades / transfers / etc.

After seeing what has happened this season, I am all for that!
This game began and ended with our Oline. Our D actually played fairly well minus a few missed tackles. Just too many injuries up front though.
I just hope Hawk isn't so stubborn to not get a few of the backup QBs some snaps.
well Matt did pretty well.

this game is depressing. i was hoping to stay up late and get bourboned....but, really, i think i'll finish this beer and have a pastrami sammich and get to bed around 10:30.
It's the coach's job to recruit plenty of linemen; he can't do much about them being freshmen and sophomores.
that was a hell of a throw by Matt...maybe it is just the grass being greener but I like him
