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

[Hallett Hell]

Coaches need to do laps.

 

[BerkeleyBuff]

I'm so confused, @Passerby assured us Colorado could win by 4 at most. **** you, got a point to spare.

 

[CUBUFF80]

I guess a W is a W

 

[BuffBronco]

We suck

(and will still probably beat the Nubs next week)

 

[t.d.c.buffs]

JFC. I hated this game the second it was announced, but I'll take the W. There's a lot to improve upon, but there were a lot of positives on the field as well. Off topic, the scoreboards looked great and the new uniforms looked sharp on TV. Go Buffs! Beat the corns!

He keeps showing he is a poor game day coach. There's just is no way around it.

Yeah.

Although I remember the last time we had a great recruiter and poor game day coach.

That didn't turn out too badly.

 

[torero]

This defense stinks. We’re gonna have to score a bunch to win big XXII games. Thing is, we can score a bunch. Really easily could’ve had 40+ points offensively if we weren’t dumb and had a ridiculous int off a dudes leg.

 

[Robert Sorell]

Cam Silmon-Craig got hurt early, and I don't think returned. Hope its not serious

 

[Jello Bear]

**** it, we won, let's bury the Nubs

 

[J.R. Ewing]

Woods in the secondary almost lost that game for us twice for us on that last play.

 

[Corey Trevorson]

Yeah.

Although I remember the last time we had a great recruiter and poor game day coach.

Mac was a better recruiter

 

[alec10burks]

Not sure if I want to go to Reddit to read the unhinged racist Prime hate or not.

not worth your time lol most of those haters are low key racist

 

[RuffBuff]

I hope Prime gets blistered in press conference on end of game clock management.

He needs to be held accountable. By the end of the year the only ones covering CP will be Mark, Romi and Bucky

 

[Bison]

Given that we are projected to have 10 one score games this season, I guess the motto for this year is just to win the game and not worry about style points.

Time to cream the Corn next weekend. There's no way their frosh QB will be as good as Cam Miller who has started a lot of games.

1 down, 9 more to go!

 

[HudsonBuff]

Honestly, I’m not too upset by this. I really felt they had control of the game from that stop after the turnover on downs on. NDSU made a late run, for sure. But I didn’t feel like the game was in doubt. Maybe I’m just dumb.

 

[jaybird]

Well, I'm not ecstatic, but I'm happier than I would be with a loss. Not a great showing.

Not dumb at all.

 

[Boulder]

Escaping with a win in a trap game is the best outcome considering the defense in the first half. Someone on the staff needs to take on clock management in crunch time.

 

[chipwich]

Nice halftime adjustments on defense unlike last season.

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

Yeah.

Although I remember the last time we had a great recruiter and poor game day coach.

McCartney surrounded himself with good coaches.

It's a much different game now. This team is more about "showtime" than game time.

 

[Robert Sorell]

It's possible that they're worse or better than they looked tonight.

I don't like that.

 

[96BUFFS5504]

Huge respect for NDSU. I’m a fan.

Hmmm. Seems likely!

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

59 rush yards

 

[SotaBuff]

**** the nubs

The OL looked better to.
