Some ridiculous love affair with Joe Davis. This staff worries the crap out of me sometimes.

Never has a GIF been more appropriate.
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.
300 lb linebacker? Who has one of those?

CU football notes: Buffs add walk-on quarterback
CU was in need of another quarterback after sophomore JT Shrout suffered what was called by head coach Karl Dorrell a “significant injury” to his knee during a scrimmage on Aug. 14.

In Mott’s final high school game, he threw two touchdown passes and helped the South team — coached by former CU tight end Sean Embree — to a win in the Orange County All-Star Classic.
Let's hope we never see him under center. No offense to the kid.

Well holy f*ck. Shoulda sent my kid up there to walk on if this where we're at.
Listed at 6-feet, 195 pounds, Mott was a two-star recruit in 2019 coming out of St. Margaret’s Episcopal School in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. A multi-sport athlete, Mott threw for 1,923 yards and 25 touchdowns as a senior while earning league MVP honors.CU football notes: Buffs add walk-on quarterback

Maybe it's time for another 2* diamond in the rough like we got with Rodney Stewart.
5. Colorado
Projected record: 4-8/2-7
Wins: vs. Northern Colorado, vs. Minnesota, vs. Arizona, vs. Washington
Losses: vs. Texas A&M, at Arizona State, vs. USC, at Cal, at Oregon, vs. Oregon State, at UCLA, at Utah
Comment: Starting in Week Two with the Aggies, the schedule is unrelenting — and the toll could linger through November. The quarterback situation is a massive concern following the injury to JT Shrout, with a starter (Brendon Lewis) who has thrown 10 career passes and only rookies behind him. Karl Dorrell’s steady hand was critical last year during the COVID disruption. We wonder if the scales don’t rebalance a bit in 2021, leaving CU on the wrong side of the breaks and the bounces. That said, we’re fully prepared to eat this prediction if the Buffs win seven or eight.

This season is mostly at the mercy of Lewis' health
Buffs seem to have the widest range of possible outcomes in the conference.
Surely you haven't figured out the great mystery for having all of those TEs in camp? Just convert some of them to OT and tell them to eat like starving wolves at Furr's.
Minnesota won't be easy at all. I almost think CU could lose to them but then beat OSU.5. Colorado

How does ASU fit into that narrative?
Not quite sure od that preview when they have UW beating Michigan in Ann Arbor and then losing to CU at Boulder. Well, unless they are picking CU to be the team most likely to be schizophrenic.5. Colorado

Everything I've seen has ASU competing for a Pac 12 Championship, so I think their range is 8-10 wins (Wilner has them at 10-2, along with Utah, but ASU with the tie breaker).
Just seems crazy that CU is being predicted to win ~4 games by most people (believe Vegas has an O/U of 4.5), but then it's being acknowledged that they very well could surprise again and win 7-8 games.
The only way Colorado has 7-8 games in the win column is if we collect forfeits as a result of the other teams having COVID outbreaks.
Fair. I'm somewhat curious how the recruiting/staff issues in Tempe will affect their on-field performance, in spite of talent.
A couple position coaches got put on leave, but Herm, Pierce and the majority of the staff remained in tact, so unless you believe in the "distraction" component, I imagine it won't impact on-field performance this season. It'll be interesting to see what the NCAA investigation concludes and what the ASU administration decides to do (after the season of course)
It's not the only way, but probably the most likely. If Brendan Lewis is legit and stays healthy all season, all bets are off. The defense should be a pretty good unit.
University of Chicago still has a team? They were a blue blood power house in the 90s.
1890s.
Whoa, let's be fair, Jay Berwanger won the Heisman at U. of Chicago in 1935.
when I saw @vinniew_11 's post, I was also surprised to learn that Chicago had reformed a football team.
Seems about right. I'd swap the Minnesota win with OSU. Minnesota is a better team than us right now. And maybe Cal for Washington. Either way the ceiling on this team if healthy is 6 wins - MAX. And if Lewis gets hurt, you're looking at 3...maybe.5. Colorado

Honestly, I’ll take 6. Get to a bowl with all these Freshmen (I think read we could classify 70 players as a Freshman of some sort). Good springboard.Seems about right.

Thought I read that Mustafa Johnson would be allowed back but now can't find anything.
Agree that if he is playing meaningful snaps we are in deep trouble.Listed at 6-feet, 195 pounds, Mott was a two-star recruit in 2019 coming out of St. Margaret’s Episcopal School in San Juan Capistrano, Calif.

That said I'm glad to have him.
As thin as we are at QB he can keep some of the wear and tear off the first guys. Also hope that he has the skillset that makes him effective simulation our opponents in practice and helping the D prepare.
