The guy who's foot it bounced off of is in the process of just tackling the receiver, that's why he's on the groundSo I'm not seeing any PI on the Interception. Am I missing something or was it just a really lucky play by NDSU
Wouldn't that be a tipped ball, Making the contact legal? Also looks like receiver is diving towards a very poorly thrown ball.The guy who's foot it bounced off of is in the process of just tackling the receiver, that's why he's on the ground
Colorado says out loud that we will be playing MAN Coverage 90% of the time, it turned out to be 70%, and we got beat pretty much on every single man coverage play, because NDSU had smart and creative plays that allowed for them to kill us by taking our man coverage and running our guys away from the play. Makes us look pretty dumb,

We got out of man in the second halfPretty dumb until pitching a shut out in the second half until 2 minutes left in the game.
And it's the adjustments Livingston made that give me optimism.We got out of man in the second half
They just have to be better at disguising it and mixing in some other concepts. Playing against a statue, true freshman QB next week, I bet we still see a good amount of man.Hopefully we don't run man all the time out of overconfidence in our DBs
I really like the way HCP teaches and coaches. To. The. Point.
Their RBs combined for 2 receptions for 60 yards, one of which was the 48 yarder on the opening drive. The QB scrambles were a problem for sureWe allowed their back to receive passes out of the backfield for big yards and their QB to break out of pass formation for big runs way too often. Drives me nuts.
I’m going by recollection from the stands and just remember the big plays out of the backfield. Two for 60 yards made a pretty big impression I guess.Their RBs combined for 2 receptions for 60 yards, one of which was the 48 yarder on the opening drive. The QB scrambles were a problem for sure
That was intentionally designed by just running our corners downfield to take them out of the play, then do rubs and redirects from the backfield against the LB or safeties, and they worked.We allowed their back to receive passes out of the backfield for big yards and their QB to break out of pass formation for big runs way too often.

This is why mobile QBs can take you out of man coverage.That was intentionally designed by just running our corners downfield to take them out of the play, then do rubs and redirects from the backfield against the LB or safeties, and they worked.
Bentley stepped up his game and so did Savion Riley.
I think Livingston figures it out
Do you think they underestimated NDSU? Everyone knows their QB can run, yet they still play man coverage exclusively in the first half.This is why mobile QBs can take you out of man coverage.
I think the defensive concept is to sell out to generate pressure but NDSU handled it because they're a machine at recognizing and executing. Despite rarely getting us blocked or beating coverage, they schemed to find plays and made them. It was really impressive to me. 2nd half D seemed to be more of just playing straight up and relying on our guys being able to beat their guys.Do you think they underestimated NDSU?

Another disadvantage of playing too much man, a QB that can get out of the pocket and move. At least have a spy on whatever QB if he can move and you want to play man mostly. That 48 yard play to the back just looked like a straight bust to me, could be wrong. It just looked like whoever was supposed to cover him didn't know it.Their RBs combined for 2 receptions for 60 yards, one of which was the 48 yarder on the opening drive. The QB scrambles were a problem for sure
Mobile QB can take you out of man coverage, he can also limit what you can do with your pass rush and as they had an experienced and well coached OL that means that the receivers had the time to complete patterns. Doesn't matter if you are in man or zone if you give well coached receivers enough time they will get open. The smart, veteran QB was good at finding them when they were.This is why mobile QBs can take you out of man coverage.

I sort of the think the game plan last week was "keep it simple, and win on talent."I think staying with our man stuff is good against Raiola and their skill players who can’t out athlete our DBs. However, I also think there needs to be some other concepts mixed in to confuse him. I didn’t realize it but they took him out for the 4th quarter last week so he still doesn’t even have a full game of college experience yet.
Not finding cracks, observing that we boldly say that we can man up against anyone at anytime, and so NDSU, which is a unicorn, said, OK, we will just run our wideouts down field to occupy your corners, then we will max protect, and then we will put the RB or TE into 1-on-1 with your LB and we will pick you apart in the middle of the field.Raiola ain't going anywhere outside the pocket, so I sure as sh!t would stay primarily in man. As I've said repeatedly the last 4 days, this defense was never built to counter NDSU.
Nobody is dumb. Stop trying to find cracks in the armor 1 game in. Give it three games and then assess.
I rewatched the game and didn't see a single CU lineman pull, nor a single run outside the tackles. I expect a little more creativity too.I sort of the think the game plan last week was "keep it simple, and win on talent."
On both sides of the ball.
If our D and O are as vanilla this week, I'm gonna be disappointashocked.
If I remember correctly Trevor either missed an assignment or just got completely beat on that play.Another disadvantage of playing too much man, a QB that can get out of the pocket and move.
