I fully took this loss in stride. No need to have my emotional state be governed by a bunch of 18-22 year old guys.
Kids got gassed in the second. I assume they were pretty keyed up before the game and the defense played a lot in the first half. Hotter than average in Boulder for early September.
Frost took the pedal off of the gas in the second half, but also the Buffs D played with much more verve. And if I'm coaching in OT, AMart is pulling the ball on running on that first play. I might have even gone empty set and run a QB draw.
If NU plays like they did in the first half, they will still win a lot of games. If they play like they did in the second, it will look like last year's record.
