But, did you know that Nate Solder was a skinny Tight End here at CU who was lightly recruited?

I heard Darrell Scott was the #1 RB recruit in the country too
Now i want donuts
Burrito has it right, you didn't spell his first name right.
2 weeks
Game is two weeks out.
Your point in valid, but I’m going to assume they’ve considered that and determined that the old sod created worse conditions than the possible conditions of only having two weeks for it to root
Or, tear it up at the scrimmage. Install as soon as possible after.
Should have done turf.

DAMNIT! Dude needs to delete that tweet.
Every name that appears on a CU depth chart = NFL potential. FACT!
Every play they give it to Clayton is an opportunity wasted to get Joe Davis ready for the season.

I looked up info about Green Valley Turf and found this comforting snippet:
What’s incredible is the root system. This stuff is knitted so well together with roots that you couldn’t tear it apart, unless you had super-human strength, like the Hulk. We all tried to rip it apart and our attempts were futile. When you put a 300 pound linebacker on it, he can’t rip it apart either, leading to great footing and excellent playability and safety.
This sod was grown for the Broncos. Just a few days after our tour in August, it was being trucked to Denver to replace the field after the Rolling Stones concert. The Broncos had a home game a couple days after the field was sodded.

I don’t know where they are finding these 300 pound linebackers though 
Seems bullish on the defense. Granted, the defense has only occasionally flashed the last few seasons, so maybe a change at DC can help make a decent jump.
The comments on OT are not great. Need Lewis to be upright after week two.

Vol fan here.
Really hated to hear about JT Shrout’s injury. I was hoping he would do well for y’all this year. He really didn’t get a fair shake at UT under Pruitt, who kept trotting out our terrible starter instead of guys like Shrout who had really shown more promise in game action.
Hopefully he heals up well and is ready to go for next season. Shrout does have some good talent and will excel at CU when he gets his opportunity.
Go Vols! And Go Buffs!

In the “10 takeaways” article on cubuffs.com they mention Clayton had some good plays. Obviously it was mostly about Broussard and Fontenot, but at least he was mentioned this time. Anyone here have any more info on that?
Side note, it was weird to see that Davis weighs more than Clayton.
I don’t meant to sound crazy or reactionary here, but it looks like Lewis is stepping into the pocket and throwing off his front foot.
After, Watching Montez over the years, I thought you were supposed to throw off your back foot
.... But only after tilting your shoulders back as you scan the one deep receiver so as to make sure the safeties know there is a long-ball coming.... soon.... eventually.... any time now....
Is that allowed? Because I’ve been led to believe that it’s not.
I think it's ok as long is it isn't a throw over the middle or to a TE.
As long as he is in position to earn a targeting call in the event of an interception.

I included the offensive line preview from Woelk. As always these guys have to be good. Also need depth for someone to be ready to step in if anyone goes down. Getting some game reps for backups early on is important. So far I think Mitch Rodrigue has done a pretty good job. Probably a lot better than most who follow the program thought he would do.
As far as those guys who will run the ball and also be called upon to block from the backfield at times, my opinion is Broussard, Fontenot, Clayton and Stacks. Of course, I don't see everything, but that probably says something by omission until proven otherwise.
