2018 Rocky Mountain Showdown (8/31)

I'm worried about the run D. That Arizona game last season scarred me.

yep, that was hard to watch. but, i do not think the sheep are built to run like that, and especially not the qb. and, i like the look of our d-line relative to last year.
 
1. Not sure what constitutes unrealistic pass protection percentages in your opinion. A high volume of quick slants or dink and dunk stuff under a PRO is different than a bunch of slow developing designed pass plays requiring staying in the pocket for 4 seconds. As a side note, I have more confidence in the 2 deep at QB than along the OL.

2. Quantity of snaps = gel.

Ultimately the offense needs to run its system, which will include some balance between run and throw.

Success for me is CU taking what the CSU defense is giving under a fast paced pass-read option and avoiding injury along the way.

Based on what we saw from CSU in their opener, and how Montez played in the RMS before, I expect to see a few wheel routes and long throws.

The running game is a bit of a mystery based on the new personnel. No one will complain if the pass game is abandoned because the ground game is moving the chains. However 3 consecutive running plays that result in a punt will drive me insane with this QB, these WRs, and our new OC.
 
I want to know why Carta-Samuels had such a huge horn on his helmet. Normal Rammie:

That most recent cubuffs.com article really portrays CSU as pretty darn good. To be expected since most of the article is an interview of MikeMac. Nonetheless, I think we will have our hands full on Friday. We should win, but it is going to be a tough game. This game means everything to them. I think many of you underestimate CSU and the perceived talent differential.

I’d rather have the coach and team looking at it like this than the other way around.

What will drive me insane is the classic Lindgren move of 4 consecutive running plays of 7+ yards each, followed by 3 straight incomplete or short passes and a punt. If you're running the ball and it's working, keep running it.

I don't think Chev will fall into that trap, but we have yet to see him call a game.

Seems like Montez being super hyped might be a bad thing? No?

Maybe...but not if he plays like he did against Whoregon. Every player handles it different. We'll see, but I think I am more encouraged than concerned with his level of excitement.
