If our kicker didn't pull his groin, we win going away (he doesn't miss those 2 easy kicks). Everybody has their if's and but's. You play the game with the environment you're given. Would have been a much different game for both teams with a game under Nebraska's belt. Game was totally different in the 2nd half once we got it. It will be fun next year. Another barn burner no doubt!

Who knows what adjustments, if any, were made. Sometimes I think it just takes a break from the action, where a coach can chew their butts and refocus and remotivate. And if a coaching staff is making wholesale changes at halftime, it means they didn't scout the other team very well to begin with.
I also have to wonder how much Colorado would benefit from film of a Nebraska-Akron game anyway? It's not like either Frost or Chinander would have opened their playbook very wide for a team like Akron. It would have been about as vanilla as playcalling could be.
This^^^
Unless I was too drunk, it certainly looked like Montez was dropping some dimes into some very good coverage. Some on here are drilling our secondary for being in guys hip pockets and the throws and catches were very high level.. i dont get it?
Db is probably the hardest position to play in the football field and our dbs seemed to have damn good coverage on a majority of the balls thrown.
U guys honestly think that other b10 qbs and wrs are that good? Lololol
Besides tosu and maybe MSU, we wont see any other wr/qb combos w that skill lvl the rest of the yr in the b10.
What r u talking about? If not for the int, the spielman drop, and the personal foul penalty, we win the game. Oh and that criminal 4th down gift spot they gave CU. We win the game whether or not we made any adjustments.
Adjustments wouldnt have made a diff, we needed a game under our belts and we would have won the game by two scores. We had players that made mistakes, 1st game type of mistakes. Not really any adjustment for that.
Their qb was dropping dimes into tight coverage and it still took him 50 passes to get to 350 yards.
Let's see,
Nebraska scored 21 points in the 1st half, 7 in the 2nd
Nebraska ran for 243 yards in the 1st half, 86 in the 2nd
Colorado scored 17 points in the 1st half, 16 in the 2nd
Colorado passed for 130 yards in the 1st half, 221 in the 2nd
Nebraska had 5 sacks with 12 minutes to go in 3rd quarter, 2 the rest of the game.
They shut down our run game in the 2nd half
Their pass game was nearly 100 yards more productive in the 2nc half than the 1st.
We would have score 21 plus points in the 2nd half had we not dropped tds and missed fg's..oh and lost our qb.
So CU score one less pt in the 2nd half than in the first? Hmmm
They passed for more yards in the 2nd half because they passed more, and they were behind.. remember theyvl were up 14 to 0 in the 1st half...didnt really need to pass then
Makes sense that they passed for more yards in the 2nd half.
Not saying they didnt make any adjustments, but NU was the reason that NU lost the game, not because CU made all world adjustments..
NU shot themselves in the foot and that is the reason for the loss, not because CU made awesome ajustments...
The QB left the game with 3 minutes to go in the game.
So you think Colorado was playing keep away with 10 minutes to go in the first half up 14-0?
They threw 8 more passes in the 2nd half than the 1st and ran the ball 9 more times in the 2nd half.
They were 2 for 3 on 4th down conversions, we were 0 for 3.
Yes Nebraska shot themselves in the foot but Nebraska scored one TD, on the 2nd drive of the 2nd half, and didn't score again and didn't get inside the 20 again until the final drive of the game. Colorado defensive adjustments had nothing to do with this, it was all Nebraska errors?
Many of the things that worked in the first half for Nebraska, didn't in the second half. There was more to it than just lack of execution.
Yeah it was mainly NU errors. Remember we dropped a td pass in the ez in the 2nd half, we also missed a fg...did those have anything to do w CUs D? No. Thats 10 pts right there which that and our ealier td in the 2nd half equals what we scored in the 2st half.We also dropped a pass that would have gone for 20 yards and won the game for us, we also drove 50 yards with a walk on qb and almost won the game with another td. We would have certainly been able to turn it into 3 points had we not had to go for a td.
So yes CU made some adjustments, but it wasnt like they stymied our O. It was mainly our self inflicted errors that cost us the game.
They also got a gift from god spot on the 4th down which likely if they dont get the gift spot (and again jad mothing to do with CUs D) we likely are in a good position to put more points on the board.
Cu made some adjustments, but it wasnt like they stopped our O as much as we stopped it ourselves.
