2024 Game 1 Official Thread: NDSU @ COLORADO on ESPN at 6

NDSU is better than both of our next two OOC opponents.

NDSU is not better than fusker

Second half is a new game, fellas

 

[ZandiBuff]

So we have improved? Yea, I guess?

I mean, if you like sucking then yes, we are doing a much better job

 

[SotaBuff]

Gotta create pressure with the front 4.

There's a reason why many schools schedule tuneup games to start the season, Kansas is playing Lindenwood (who?) and Utah is playing Southern Utah for ****s sake (way worse teams). Probably wasn't wise to schedule the best FCS school first game with all of the roster turnover but a comeback win would be a huge confidence boost going into a really tough road game.

Agree 100%!! They should have dumped this game!!

This game was scheduled like 7 or 8 years ago. They should have dumped it as soon as they could. Just pay NDSU the money and say "thanks but no thanks."

The Buffs have got to figure out one of these years that they CAN NOT always be the team with the target on their back. I've never seen a 4-8 team that apparently LIKES to be 4-8. Play an NAIA team to open the season and then play a ****ty div. 2 team as well. For crying out loud. Win a game 55-0 for a change.

 

[GoonieBuff]

Hmmm. Even the focus of the halftime analysis was the o line giving 2 more time. But what do I know?

 

[ZandiBuff]

ummmmm okay. See posts above. I guess you must know what you’re talking about.

I watch NDSU rush three and get to Shadeur.

I watched them rush 4 and sack him.

Maybe. Depends on how their freshman QB goes, which I admit is a major unknown.

 

[SotaBuff]

At least we’re exciting

NDSU is better than both of our next two OOC opponents.

Sure.

NDSU mopped the floor with CSU 3 years ago or so I believe. They went 11-4 last year and the fan base was pissed. I think they are heavily underrated.

CU has better talent. Outcome is based on coaching. This is a critical moment for this staff.

 

[SotaBuff]

Defense playin like hot garbage. Nuthin but bull junk!

 

[Bison]

Guys just chill.

 

[Corey Trevorson]

I watched them rush 4 and sack him.

Benson's PFF grades make sense now

Textbook game plan for NDSU

Agreed. That and critical penalties.

 

[BuffsNYC]

Jesus you guys sound like we are getting decimated. It's the first half of the season.

Good thing our 185 years of NFL experience couldn't see it coming

Some of that is on Sanders. He has to learn to throw the ball away.

Excited to see how our first time OL and DC coaches cook

1 for 1 so far for @manhattanbuff

Here we go!

 

[ZandiBuff]

Both of our tackles are getting eaten alive

 

[alec10burks]

That Denver Post reporter is a ****ing douchebag and a loser, good on Prime calling him out on his ****.

 

[1989Buff]

Rick George is a genius, no body bag games & 2 of 3 OOC games on the road.

Beyond idiotic.

Well, CU doesnt do a lot of body bag games. Usually they have a pretty tough schedule. It's sort of traditional...for better or worse.

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

No doubt NDSU is a great team - in their division. I think they could pull an upset on a few Big 12 teams on a given Saturday. But they are still a team every team in the conference would be expected and favored to beat.

 

[SotaBuff]

Still can’t ****ing run the ball

 

[alec10burks]

HOLY **** WHAT A CATCH BY HUNTER!!!!!!!!!

And - for better or worse - CU hasn't been to a bowl game in about 20 years.
