Sefo Liufau (O/U thread)

[CUav8er]

Over. 25

 

[Mick Ronson]

Imma take the under, but i don't think that's necessarily a bad indicator. i kinda wish we had a bruising downhill red zone monster run game to account for the (-) but hey! I'm asking Sefo to run the offense, protect the football, be good on 3rd down...and make some plays.

Over, the only way the Buffs get the ball in the end zone is through the air...

If we have any hope of being even slightly below average Sefo needs to be able to get TDs through the air, because they aren't coming on the ground. Not with our OL or stable of RBs.

The middle of the OL (LG to RG) should be strong (enough to improve a bit on the rushing numbers last year), and Nembot is good in the running game, but pass blocking is where he struggles. Nik pointed it out yesterday but our RBs went down on first contact way too easily last year, hopefully the emphasis on lower body strength this off season helps that a bit.

Improving on last year is not going to be hard to do. The question is whether the RBs can find the end zone. That talent can be hard to find.

 

[BuffLuke80]

I'd say 20.

Until we can run with 8 in the box in the RZ I hold fast to what I'm saying. We may see some improvement, but we need stellar line play and RBs that can pound through (hopefully Powell returns to his freshman year form).

How many teams can run with 8 in the box while in the RZ? I don't understand the offense compressing when they get in the RZ...spread out the D and the field opens up. When CU goes against 8 in the box in the RZ then they need to spread it out to the TE's and use some PA.

Very few. It's tough. But last year we only were in the RZ 32 times. Now think about the over.

Sefo needs to show he can find the open guy in the RZ for us to be competitive. Hopefully it'll open up the running game too for Powell.

Over, just barely

 

[Tractor]

Over, hopefully.
make these poll questions?

Hell, I hope we can run it well enough to make teams put 8 in the box quite a bit. That happens our offense is probably doing pretty damn well. I agree on the TE for sure, damn somebody needs to step up there.

If he is healthy, CU will get to see him run and gun it this year; go to 2:23 of this HS video and see the difference in speed.

So post scrimmage I am going with under because I think the line play will be better and we'll run more.

Lindgren's interview with Rivals included him saying that his ideal offense would run the ball 55%-60% of the time to set up play action and big plays from the pass offense. It would make everything so efficient.

So, if we can get where he wants, you're probably right. I hope you are. I don't mind the "under" at all if it happens for a positive reason.

 

[CUFan]

I would love to see us running 55-60% of the time and be effective at it. Makes everything else so much easier.

Bump...21 through 7 games.

 

[Darth Snow]

22 is a great number to set that line at.

I'll go under. But only because I think the running game will be effective in the red zone this year and that without P-Rich we won't see many long touchdowns through the air.
