I think Adam said it best in the post game he did with Howell today-all this does is take the heat off everybody up there for a week. If we go to Cal and lose, we're right back to where we were this past week.
It’s interesting how much heat is on Dorrell. I think last year was a mirage, but he delivered a winning record and a bowl appearance. The offense this year is historically bad, but the fact that he is in so much trouble really speaks to how much the fan base hated the initial hire. Dorrell effectively started on the hot seat.
I've never heard of fair catching off the bounce. I didn't know you could. Returning punts, I'd yell Peter or Pecker if I couldn't field it, everybody would clear out. Kicks, you better make damn sure it goes out or it's live. Yes, I let them know I might say pecker instead of Peter.
Thing is, Lewis has to know the staff believes in him. That's what will grow that confidence. He has plenty of work to do, but it's a start. Looking over your shoulder at the back-up is not a good thing usually. I know Arizona is terrible, but it's something he can build from.
That's his next step. He'll get there, but it needs to be against somebody with a heartbeat to get better. Climb the ladder.
Clearly AZ didn’t respect our passing game and was all in on stopping the run. We only averaged 3 yards per carry. That’s awful against anyone but especially against Arizona.
They stuffed us when we tried running up the middle. Our line had no push and our backs went down on initial contact. When we ran outside they just strung us out and we never were able to turn upfield. Frustrating. Our O line gets dominated every week.

He wasn’t dressed yesterday. Just seemingly isn’t meshing with the staff (Hagan) and can’t earn playing time.
This isn't about Lewis, though. He's not a bad QB. He's just been poorly coached. And at the end of the day, that's what this is about. KD will still be outcoached by every coach in this conference not named Jedd.

Man, **** all of these coaches.
I figure Clayton is gone at the end of the season. Gonna be just great watching him tear off 90-110 a game for someone like Louisiana or Tulane the next few years.
At some point, if he’s truly as good and talented as his hype and ratings, he’d be seeing the field more and it would be evident from his reps that he has received. He’s looked JAGy to this point
Yeah, but don't discount the fact that this staff still tries to get Joe Davis reps, so...
In all seriousness, with Fontenot and Smith healthy, Clayton could simply be redshirting.
That's my hope at least.
Davis hasn’t had a carry since UNC garbage time. This narrative isn’t true anymore. At some point, CU fans may need to accept that Clayton just isn’t anything special
Could be, but at this point Broussard and Fontenot are nothing special either.
See the #FireRod thread
So maybe that should tell you something about Clayton?
Look, there are a lot of things to blame the staff for, but Ashaad Clayton’s lack of playing time is so far down the list that it’s not even worth mentioning anymore
I was thinking the exact same thing. When I mentioned it to my son, he said "that would be the dumbest rule ever, if you couldn't call a fair catch off the bounce." I was so confused by his statement...but I guess he was right.I've never heard of fair catching off the bounce. I didn't know you could. Returning punts, I'd yell Peter or Pecker if I couldn't field it, everybody would clear out. Kicks, you better make damn sure it goes out or it's live. Yes, I let them know I might say pecker instead of Peter.
* Then last night I learned, even if you bobble a fair catch, you are still entitled to the fair catch.
Smith is sick! (in a good way)
Exactly. When the personnel is almost exactly the same, you need to look for other explanations.
Yeah, but it's not really fair when you consider Tate played there for (seemingly) 8 years.
Yep - hopefully that catch by Rice proved to Lewis that he can trust his receivers (at least Rice).
I am so unhappy with this.
