    Official CU vs Delaware Game Thread

    Polumbus was suggesting that if Staub turns out to be a player, that it could be in the best interest of Juju to be OK with competing, but possibly not starting until the 2027 season like Arch did at Texas. I can’t see him doing it, but with him being 17, maybe he and his family would be OK...

    Arch, Avery Johnson, Sellers and Staub the only ones still with their original team. Crazy

    Definitely intrigued by Jeremiah Brown and Makari Vickers and if he they continue what he did vs Delaware

    Haven't watched them at all, but they want to run the ball. Game one vs SFA - 24 passing attempts for 159 yards (he did have 3 PA TDs) to 46 rushing attempts for 191 yards (Leading rusher had 50 yards) Game two vs Rice - 22 passing attempts for 188 yards (1 TD) to 37 rushing attempts for 207...

    I'm not going to go full hokie on your subjective claim on my statement. I agree, though. It's mostly justification as to why I think CU will win the game.

    Yep, until Saban made the conscious decision to completely change and go with the modern spread offense by bringing in Kiffin and continuing it with Daboll and Sark. Went from Greg McElroy and AJ McCarron type QBs to Hurts, Tua, Mac Jones, Bryce Young and Jalen Milroe. Point is, the game has...

    Not really, actually. That offense and the Alabama identity changed dramatically over time during Saban's tenure.

    I didn't make an argument and nothing I said was subjective, actually. I was just pointing out the difference in competition that the two teams have faced through two weeks, since Houston's comfortable 2-0 record and CU's inconsistent 1-1 record seems to be playing a large role in the perception...

    There needs to be a deliberate plan with playing Salter moving forward, after evaluating him through two weeks. Read Option and RPO game should be the focus. I am not overly confident they will do that, but I just don't think a couple drives vs Delaware has just solidified Staub as QB1 for the...

    Where is Salter going? The portal is closed and we are in week 3 of the season. It was a poor decision to put Salter back in the game in the 4th quarter mop up duty after he'd been sitting for 2+ hours. Not just a bad thing to do with him, but why not keep getting Staub as many live reps as...

    Why? It's not that uncommon to play two QBs with two different skill sets. Buffs have seen it first hand over the years, including multiple teams last year. If Staub just balls out to start the game and leads the Buffs to 2-3 straight scoring drives, then just stick with him, but I don't see...

    Sure you can, but it's a very specific, dialed in playbook that is centered around read option, RPO and quick passing game. He still brings an element to the offense that neither Juju or Staub bring and they can still use that to help the offense, but it has to be deliberate, focused and called...

    Uniform Prediction Thread - 2025 Game 3 - Houston (Away)

    I think it’s the TCU stormtrooper from 2023

    I still think at least two QBs play on Friday.

    To be fair, it’s only been posed as a “what if” scenario to this point.
