You could be correct. When Rhule is talking about Sims this week in his presser he was always referring to when Healthy Jeff is our QB1.
We ran the ball pretty damned effectively up the middle. It would have been just fine if we had taken care of the ball. The only tempo issue we had was we were slow getting the play off a couple of times. I think some of that was communication issues due to the crowd noise. Does anybody else wonder if Deion had crowd noise piped in over their sound system. It seemed way too loud for the number of CU fans in the stands.
I was thinking the same as I was sitting there. It seemed awful loud for that size of stadium.
When you don’t prepare your team for crowd noise, you tend to look unprepared to handle crowd noise
I would think running up tempo would expose our lack of athletes more, plus more 3 amd outs means the defense is getting run out there more often.
We can spread out but not run tempo. But then again I thought HH looked pretty comfortable running from the I under center in the spring game...
There definitely were some good runs with textbook blocking, but other times they got stonewalled up the middle by CU’s front seven. My worry is that if they couldn’t consistently move CU’s line, how will they fair in the BIG?
I’ve been to the last two games in Boulder and without question there was more buff fans Saturday than the one in 2019..
That makes absolutely no sense. Running up tempo with less than stellar execution does nothing but put the defense back on the field quickly. When you have a defense that is capable of stopping the run, as this defense as shown the ability to do after 2 games. Why would you want to put them back out there every 2-3 minutes with an offense that cannot execute? It would have the same net effect as turning the ball over after marching down the field.
True, just thought it was an interesting take. I think they need to condense the offense down to only a couple formations/personnel groups, too much going on to be cohesive.
it is interesting
Sam also says he was screaming for Rhule to kick a FG with 11 seconds to go before the half against Minnesota. I gotta question the dudes football IQ after that statement.
The problem isn't with the number of plays, formations or personnel groups though. Why would you reduce that? The issue was interceptions against Minnesota and catching a shotgun snap against Colorado. Even with the interceptions vs Minnesota, if there isn't a fumble as the team was driving to put the game out of reach, Nebraska wins the game.
the unforced nature of all but 1 of those turnovers is frustrating
Sam is a ********, but needs something to write about. McChewin needs to stay in his lane.
So there's a chance that HH has one week left of being liked by the fans. After Saturday he will invariably be hated for an interception, fumble, mishandled snap, boneheaded decision etc... . We may find out that the backups are backups for a reason. Now it is a game against an inferior foe, so it may take two weeks for him to fall out of grace. But, if recent history proves correct HH will most likely be considered a poor qb within the month of September. Good luck HH.
I don't think Rhule is an idiot for not starting him
He doesn't have to light it up. He just has to be efficient and not turn it over to be an improvement over what we've seen. We have to either score more or stop turning it over. I think is it too much to ask for both at this point.
