Another really good article. Here are some highlights.
“We’re definitely in it,” CU tailback Rodney Stewart said. “Kansas State has some big games coming up they could easily lose. We could easily lose, as well, as we did (Saturday).”
Hansen had a nice debut in 2008 and then struggled when defenses adjusted to him, and eventually returned to the bench. Hansen had a nice debut in 2009, and struggled Saturday. It’s up to the player and coaches to avoid a repeat of 2008.
Of course, it’s not all on the quarterback. CU’s offensive line did not block well, and the run game totaled 60 net yards. Receivers dropped passes. Play-making among the receivers and backs is still lacking.
“It was just a bad day all around,” Hansen said. “You always have one of those days.”
CU enters the week last in the Big 12 in scoring, yards gained, punt returns, net punting, pass efficiency and pass efficiency defense. The Buffs are next to last in rushing offense, points allowed and turnover margin.
Statistics can certainly be misleading. But it’s hard to argue that’s the case here.
The Buffs say they’re convinced they can still win the North. Linebacker Marcus Burton went so far as to say he’s “extremely convinced. All we have to do is play. We have to go and do our job, and whatever happens, happens.”
