The play calling looked the same as last year.

Now let’s do Sanders’ refusal to throw the ball away for 25 seconds at the end of the first half.

Not sure even peak Terrell Davis would be able to do much tonight behind this OL line
I think scouts are going to be a little put off by how long he holds the ball.

Yes - for sure. I said a few times in the thread that he has to learn to throw the ball away. He'll be in the concussion protocol in the NFL if he keeps that up.
Hayden did better when he was in…soooo

I think he can learn to throw the ball away when the play isn't there.
His accuracy and strength are not coachable - they are god-given gifts.
I’ve watched Agustsve play, he’s much more violent and shifty.

Offerdahl = 5 rush 15 yards / 2 rec 13 yards
Hayden = 9 rush 20 yards / 1 rec 14 yards
Vic lombardi's sock account. I knew it!
Now do receiving.
Better LB placement/coaching fixes a lot on this team. They didn't make in game or halftime change at LB, so I doubt it will be fixed during the season.
The OL only gave up one sack so it was improved but there is a lot of room for growth there.
If CP doesn't fore Hart after the season, then he becomes the problem for not making required and necessary changes

That being said, they still were pretty ****ty play calls. OK throw the ball for a 1st down but how about throwing it to a WR near the 1st down mark instead of backward bootlegs/screens and then the WR being tackled at the line of scrimmage time after time

I think Coach Prime has some Andy Reid in him. The game was OVER if he ran the ball with 1:58 left. Instead, he gave them a chance.
THAT CANT HAPPEN. We aren't good enough yet.
I have to think that a Big 10 or SEC program doesnt want him yet, He is staying for awhile.

And he has a poor attitude too!
they stacked to stop the run. it was an interesting strategy, considering the ability of our skill guys. they must have subscribed to that troll's newsletter about there being no talent disparity.
i didn't love the qb gaps we left on d... and it is clear we schemed wrong and/or they mixed some **** up to go at us. all good.
take the W. i wish we had one more game between us and the fuskers but we will be better next week. break their frosh qb and we win.
Hard to sack the QB. 2-3 step drops. No throws down the field
The good:
A win
Travis Hunter is a generational talent, I mean he is approaching Bo Jackon levels.
SS2 is probably one of the top 3 QB's in CFB.
CU has tons of talent at the skill positions.
The Bad:
The OL, cannot run block. Benson and Zalinkis are laibilities at this point.
The DL. Pass rush? Waiting to see it.
The DC and OC were pitifully outcoached. Shurmer has too many brain farts.
That is all.

Shedeur was ****ing around tonight. 2 time outs cause he couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the play clock in the 2d half. Then that throw on the last drive.
He's sure as **** a sanders cause he played a hell of a game despite doing that nonsensical ****

Plus he's always ditching practice!
Yeah, play calling also improves a lot between games 1 and 2.
We have a first time DC.
More concerned about the OC play calling - he has the experience to be better.
Still thinking he'll improve next game.
Most worried about the lines, then the LBs.
I have a little confidence that the OL will improve a lot during the year.
The front 7 on defense though. A lot of unproven position coaches, and I don't think the DC will have the bandwidth to provide them the support that the OL coach is likely to get.

Livingston calmed down in the second half and made proper adjustments. There are still many questions about him as a coach and his unit but they bent instead of breaking. Shurmur made some questionable calls and was bailed out by talent. Resisting playing for the highlight and instead playing for the win needs to be emphasized considering how the final play of the game played out. Tactical coaching mistakes are still present and they nearly contributed to a loss. Having to blow two time-outs to avoid a delay of game penalty in the second half is a bad sign. The team got lucky and escaped with a win, but cleaning up mistakes needs to happen.

Was it just me, or did both teams seem like they just wanted that game to end?

He has to learn...ok, when? last year? this year? next year?
philby, take the W. yeah, any power conference team would have beat our arses tonight. but i do suspect we don't make the same play calls against auburn or similar as we did against the junior league team.
that was a very important growth game for our players and our coaches.
