Colorado Buffaloes v Texas Longhorns - Alamo Bowl, 29 Dec, 7pm MT - GAME THREAD

[buffs233]

I’ll take apologies off air from y’all who gave me shyt for saying we should’ve rolled with BLewis all season.

LOL. You were then and are still wrong. We were 4-1, and Noyer played extremely well until he injured his shoulder.

 

[GoldenSkier]

**** the Alamo bowl

 

[Medford M.]

I disagree - until he got hurt vs utah, Noyer was fine.

Once he got hurt and our "coach of the year" wouldn't bench him, THEN we should have seen nothing but lewis

mm did the same thing with Sefo in the P12 title game and Alamo bowl in 16. I don't understand throwing a QB out there with a BUM THROWING SHOULDER!

 

[SuperD]

Honestly Ehlinger getting hurt was the best thing to happen to Texas.

Well it’s not like that hasn’t been the case against the Buffs before.

 

[Gary Indiana]

How do we manage to get so few hits on QBs, even when getting pressure?

Lack of athleticism. Instead of being able to finish the play, they’re overmatched by the mobility and freeze up.

 

[BuffUp]

This dude will be the next ****ing star

Casey Thompson is throwing dimes. He is fun to watch. Why wasn't he starting?

You again are clueless. If you think Noyer’s regression was just because of his shoulder, you’ve got some issues. I’ve already outlined why we were 4-1. Noyer wasn’t the reason for this team’s success.

 

[4BienemyTDs]

The team was 4-1 because Brew was elite and Landman was one of the best three defensive players in college football. Noyer had flashes but got worse as the season went along. My point the entire time was that Lewis’ development was more important than any individual game or season record. Given the upside flashes he’s shown against our toughest opponent, I think I was dead right.

Hindsight 20/20, but I get the feeling that Lewis knows what he is doing and how to do it. Just needs time and a commitment from his coaches. When we have really good players, why do we go the route of life lesson, instead of committing to them and making them comfortable so they can succeed.

 

[buffs233]

The UT game plan has been lights out compared to the Buffs. The Buffs either are not prepared or do not have the Talent. Take your pick and either are on the coaches

Jesus, you are simply insufferable. Please quit posting.

Thompson, 8 completions, 4 tds. Terrible.

 

[chipwich]

Now their 3rd stringer is making pitches like hagan. JFC.

 

[Duff Man]

Lack of athleticism. Instead of being able to finish the play, they’re overmatched by the mobility and freeze up.

I agree some, but even in the pocket it seems to be an issue. Very odd.

 

[Bread]

Hot take Tuesday!

Which part? Genuinely curious what you think is a hot take there?

 

[90sBuff]

I’ve been a Buff fan for a long time. I think it’s time to think of going to the mountain west and playing against teams we can win against. We’re not in the same league and it would actually be more fun to play CSU, Wyoming and Air Force each year. It sucks to say it and I’m sure I’ll get a lot of nasty replies but it’s true.

Athletes

That will not happen. Ignore is your friend

It’s not hindsight. I said what we should’ve done and we hindered Lewis’ development without any eligibility hit. But anyway... continue on.

Missing a bunch of our defense doesn't help either

No

Way to get your name on National TV JVD.

I had a buddy in HS who would always say to be the last guy to jump on the pile and you would always be the first number everyone would see. Dude was the slowest dude on the team but had 100 half tackles . That's JVD

 

[Gary Indiana]

Certainly not

 

[GoldenSkier]

Yours might've been the most reasonable take ive seen regarding the qb room in a minute

 

[slider]

Lol

 

[chipwich]

Damn. Lewis is gonna be fun to watch next year.

 

[bigbang2]

Chev need to call better plays on this drive. play action roll Lewis out of the pocket.

 

[4BienemyTDs]

Coach Herman is a Douche
Thompson has been good, but he still disgraced his families name going to UT

 

[SuperD]

Goiic talking like Colorado isn’t also missing nearly 20 players.

 

[Leon Sandcastle]

I agree some, but even in the pocket it seems to be an issue. Very odd.

It has more to do with having the athletic confidence to take the more aggressive angle. They play conservative when “in position” to only get burned by superior athletes

Christ. At least you hit the over!
