Other than the blocked punt, that wasn't his fault, Buschini played like an all-conference punter. And I'd lower the OL & WRs to a C. Wrs had opportunities to make multiple plays. The OL stopped they ones they pulled off with penalties. Some deserved, some not.
DR had some great throws that weren't completed because of defensive PI...
QB rating should at least be in the B+ range.

OLine should be a C. I don’t think some on here realize how bad Colorado is especially on the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball. They are in for a very long year. Probably a 4 win season. Special teams was awful outside of Buschini. Punt return game was adequate.
I'd rate QB a B+ maybe even A-. DR's awareness of the game on top of his skills just dazzles me.
Field Goals are a concern. At this point I trust DR's arm, and even his scrambling ability, in going for it on 4th down over attempting a Field Goal.

I give myself an F for Coin Flip stress.
I didn't want to see the CU offense get the ball first, see them score, and then be playing from behind with a freshman QB.
But I forgot we have Tony White. The Buffs went 3 & out. We took the ball and moved down the field to score. That was story book stuff.

Then we don't convert on 3rd and wondering if they're going to get the ball and move it. Pick six! Absolute dream first half and get to say we went conservative(we sid) and it was clear we could have scored 40+. Great weekend to be a Husker! GBR!
We were opening holes on their defense with our OL and DD was running great, better than we've seen.
I wouldn't give the OL a C because they put 6 and 7 guys in the box in the 2nd half. That's on the coaches to call the right plays and burn that look.
Didnt Rhule say he was going to murder you if you played 1 high safety? Looks like we're not there yet. We need to get there asap.

There was so much PI on Colorados DB’s and they loaded the box with 7 rushing as many as they could. Our receivers are good, that officiating was trash, you will see how good this offense is going forward.
I encourage you all to rewatch the game sober and see what you can (camera views don’t show everything) and then come back and post.

. Hell, I thought the idiots in zebra stripes were just Sanders sideline entourage. 
Second half Colorado said, “**** it” and blitzed and put their DB on islands. Combined with our vanilla play calling it made the second half lackluster
And the officiating went into “protect the sanders” mode.
I’m very happy with what I saw yesterday. We beat them up. All of them. They won’t have much of a team to field next week

I come to eat crow on Rahmir. Great job young man.
Raiola missed 2 to 3 big TDS
Best blocking game I ever seen from Fidone.
4 more wins.

Lol. ...hilarious.. what game did you watch.
They are lucky we missed 3 easy TDS and they had the help of the refs.
Should have been 35-0 at the half
Not a position group, but 2 games in and only 1 turnover? Is that right?
Night and day difference from what we’re used to.

Their secondary were allowed to play far too physical by the refs and we still burned them on a few which were called back on phantom holding calls. Officiating won't be like that rest of the season.
Our receivers should be prepared for the big 10 after last night, I think every team in the big 10 grab and hold our receivers
6-8 in the box and a fair number of blitzes. One well devised blitz they did had a backer come on our right side and either a safety or backer come a split second later as Rhamir’s eyes went to the guy on the right. The left side blitzer got a sack. They executed it perfectly.
They were getting decent pressure on DR but I don't think he was sacked last night.
He is 1-2 in FG . Let’s see who Rhule trots out there next week in a FG situation.
Perfect game to get it figured out. Seems the rest of the depth chart has clarity.
No. Absolutely not.
Our lines are much better than theirs, obviously D line is much much better. Talent - probably, cohesion and experience in systems-most definitely.
Skill positions - we have way more options than they do. Sure, Shadeur and Hunter are damn good, but you need more than that.
They’re not a team.
He's going to probably be asked to do more a few times this year. We might need a comeback.
Not singling you out but was there a stiff breeze at the game? I noticed some of DRs long throws were short compared to the prior week. Nobody's kickoffs reached the endzone on that same direction. Colorado's punter had problems kicking that direction as well. Maybe there wasn't but it just seemed odd that his long completion to Lloyd was as short as it was and a back shoulder throw to Neyor/Banks (I don't recall exactly who it was) was woefully short also. Just seemed out of character.
QB - B - Great job managing the game.
RB - B
WR - C - Missed some catchable balls. Lloyd has to reel that TD in. Also need to get open against better competition.
OL - C - Was great early, but needed them a little more in crunch time. Funny that TC is performing better than Benhardt. BB had a tough game and needs to pick it up.
TE - B - Blocking pretty well. Need to get a little more involved. But overall solid
DL - A+ - Enough said.
LB - B+ -
DB - B+ - Tommi Hill was excellent. Buford played pretty well, but would like to see just a little more improvement, but hard to nit pick
Special Teams - D (Aggregate)
Punter - A - Buschini seems to be trending back to good Buschini.
Kicker - F - Field goal is bad and I think it is time to try Hohl. Alvano doesn't have it. The upside is there, but kid doesn't show up on gameday. Sucks because he did at Westside. Also really need to figure out how they are going to kick off. I like when they brought Buschini in and tried to blow it out of the end zone.

So you can't use actual data in terms of grading positions. But will grade based on assumptions or future opponents. Also this thread is based on this game
I have no problem with judging it on this game or the big picture, good win but there's along ways to go is kind how I'm seeing it..cause if we continue to win the competition just gets harder.

Yep. Wonder what Saturday would have looked like with our QB mindlessly handing CU the ball three times in the first half while generating virtually zero offensive production.
Oh, wait, we saw that one year ago in Boulder.
First time in a long time I haven't had to yell at Corcoran, thought he played well, same with Fidone.
I think Corcoran and Mazz were the only 2 OL that weren't flagged for something.
Not impressed with Banks as a blocker this game. I thought the whole WR room underperformed.
Thought Ty finally showed what we've been waiting for years to see him do.
Bullock outstanding also.
Looks like the more they get the ball in Jacory's hands, the more likely he is to really break one.
Until something changes, I've given up on Alvano. If NU brings this type of kickoff game into USC, bad things are gonna happen.
Thought Dylan overall played really well. As a true freshman trying to help build this program, I wouldn't mind seeing Lloyd lay out for that ball down the sidelines. I thought Fidone gave great effort on his failed catch near the goal line.
To hang with some of the big dogs on our schedule, we are gonna need maximum effort on any ball that has a chance to be caught.
I think that's what bugged me the most, all this hype time and effort on a one dimensional team we should have beat last year..
