I think the part that is most frustrating is CU (and every other team out there) gets their guys open in space, I mean they scheme and attack...our team, not so much.

I think if NU takes care of the ball next Sat, they will run the ball right down CU's throat. Defensively, CU will complete a lot of short passes, so NU just has to tackle well and not be duped into some stop and go routes.
A team like Utah will chop Colorado up into pieces.
TCU definitely specialized in 2nd half comebacks last year! I still think TCU wakes up and wins but CU is impressing early.
Colorado also has the element of surprise. Tcu staff said this was the least he’s ever had to go on for a game. Rhule will at least have them on tape and can prepare for what they’re doing. Tcu had to guess. Let’s see how/if tcu can adjust
Until CU gets about 8-9 guys in the box, NU should not throw the ball more than 10 tmes the entire game. I think NU will wear CU down by the 3rd quarter and NU will need to keep lots of fresh bodies available on defense.
The visible difference between Sanders and Sims in the pocket is very unsettling. And Minnesota is trash. TCU TBD.
TCU came out right away with 3 passes and a 3 and out. It is apparent, you have to run right at CU and maybe mix in a couple of swing passes. Just gotta do the basic stuff on offense and march the ball right down the field, they seem soft of defense in the front 7.
People say this every year and then they win 9 games. They may not be world beaters, but trash isn’t exactly accurate
CU Offense reminds me a lot of Frosts offense: they are not running it up the gut nor relying on their offensive line to win the line of scrimmage. Rather they are getting the ball quickly to their athletes in space and relying on those athletes to beat their guys, which CU has athletes to do. It also really helps that Sanders is a very good QB.
It’s going to be tough to win their next week

Fair enough. They are average to decent for the ****** BIG and against their weak OOC opponents.
agree for the most part. But to be fair, the only conference you have to be better than decent to win 9 games is the sec. PAC 2, big 16, big 12 and acc are pretty average with the exception of 3 teams each. At most.
Adrian looked competent when he had an OL that was decent. We still don’t have that. I felt people were underestimating Colorado. I don’t feel good about next week….at all.
The B12 officials don't call holding at all. TCU tackle had blatant hold on their TD run and CU had a blatant hold on every pass play on the next drive.
Anyone who doesn’t take Prime seriously as a coach has never heard him speak without their own extreme bias predetermining the message
If this pattern holds, and our turnover/penalties pattern holds, it will be a long day in Boulder next week.
It’s not that easy. TCU’s defense wasn’t good last year at all.
TCU is also trying to play cute against a team you should just lineup and run after.
Wears out or gets hurt. Look, I get it. Best player on the field. But this kid has a long career ahead and Prime is going to end up getting him hurt. Fast pace no huddle college football playing two ways and touching the ball more than anyone other than the qb’s isn’t going to bode well for him long term
What's the excuse going to be?
We traded winning now for building a program later?
CU has better players?
We should've flipped more of the roster, no matter how controversial?
***Maker no mistake, CU had less to work with when they hired their coach than NU did.

Minnesota has a far better defense than TCU. TCU also came out looking flat on both sides for some reason.
Rhule didn’t seem real bothered by Thursday. I wonder how calm he is watching this game. No matter how mediocre Minny really is, he could hang his hat on the fact they were 9-4 last year. But if we get boat raced by a team that was terrible last year and had most of their roster replaced that would be a huge black eye. This isn’t Temple or a gutted Baylor. He should win at least six games with what he inherited and the cupcake schedule -- and he surely knows it. Honeymoons can be short.
