Arizona under Fisch went 1-11, 5-7, and now 7-3.
Buffs are a handful of plays away from being at least 6-4 right now and it’s year one. They don’t know how to win and that includes the coaching staff.

The failure to mention / lack of awareness how the first down affects the calculus there is concerning.
He's a kicker with no leg, a personality who prime likes and hit one important kick... he's a high school kicker at best.

If we follow the plan Arizona went, we will be 9-3 next year. Can't wait to get our transfers in and our homegrown recruits.
The total lack of game management is gonna turn this staff into a staff that can't recruit.
Defensive players have nothing to do with clock management or timeouts, sorry. That's ridiculous
It’s the exact same thing as the OT decisions (regardless of what the stats suggest on that). He’s painfully unaware.
That's a total lack of situational awareness and super concerning from a tactical standpoint
Lots of frustration, lots of things you can point at that can be blamed for the loss.
Yes the final drive by Arizona going through us like butter but plenty of other.
Mata missing the FG, the stupid roughing penalty in the first half that turned a FG into a TD, some dropped passes that were directly in the hands, failure to get a stop multiple times.
Coaching needs to get better, play calling was way better with Shurmur and he covered up a lot of our OL deficiencies but we still can't block when we have to. Zero push on short yardage, too many free running pass rushers on obvious passing situations.
This game though was a huge step forward though for a team that had been getting blown out.
Points out the absolute need to recruit big guys for both sides of the ball. Recruit, recruit, recruit.

Nah, they're already high up in recruiting per my source.
I agree, but it should have never been in question for the refs to blow the whistle. The play call should have been an all out blitz to either stop them or let them score.

If the coaches said that, that's on coaches. That's the 2nd straight week some questionable **** been said if that's what came out of Prime mouth. Players will do what the coaches say even if it goes again what they should do
Elaborate
On the bright side:
A number of recruits were at, or watching, the game.
CU played better than I,and most anticipated. Should have won against a team that had beaten 3 ranked teams in a row.
The offense showed some variety, and although SS got pounded, it wasn't near as bad as usual and you could see how much things would be improved, with a couple of good additions.
CP's game management was good - no glaring mistakes.
A beautiful day under the Flatirons and a close to capacity crowd.
Celebrities on the sideline. Knowing if we had a better record, there would be many more.
Still, a heart-breaking loss.

Give him a break. It sucks he missed but he also delivered us a win over ASU, right? Our whole team needs to improve. Most high school teams could have potentially beat us last year. He’s not Mason Crosby but he’s a Buff win or lose.

There are plentiful high schoolers that can kick farther than him. We have a much better kicker sitting on the bench for no reason
And let's keep in mind: this is the BEST pac12 we have ever seen. UA had 1-11 and 5-7 when Pac12 was not this strong.
Put this Colorado to 2021 and they go bowl easily.

He’s not good enough to be a starter at a division one football program. He can get all the breaks and education he wants at an fcs school. Let him go there
That are doing some things really well and some things really poorly.
The good news is they are doing the most important things well.
Oh I'm sorry... did you say the same thing about players under Dorrell? No? That's what I thought... some players aren't good enough... Mata is one of them
Do you try to be wrong ALL THE F*CKING TIME?
One thing I will say is while we may have talented coaches... as a staff together, it's not working... there need to be some hard conversations between RG,prime and hks assistants, espeically some of his friends
Well, that was fun, not.
Shurmer did the things I, and others, have been suggesting for weeks. Zilinkas as a blocking TE, two back sets, slants, pre-snap motion. He called a good game. 31 points ought to net you a win. The OL is still a disaster. But Shurmer employed some tactics that at least gave the O a shot and kept SS2 from getting killed. It simply baffles me with all the OL brought in not one of them can play a competent OG. I won't even go into the fundamental of remembering the snap count, something HS OL can master, but remains a mystery to CU's OL. Harden single handedly killed the last drive with his second illegal procedure of the day.
The D is improving but how hyper complicated is the system if in game 10 of the season half the time players are still yelling at each other as to where to line up and who to cover? The LB's are only a hair better than the disaster OL as a position group.
Game management was better today, somewhat, probably because of Shurmer. Icing your own kicker? Prime continues to set trends.

Eh, I disagree. He’s been pretty good. He doesn’t have a leg that’s going to hit 50-60 consistently, but he’s been accurate for the most part and has the leg to hit from 50

That has to get fixed the minute the Utah game ends. Half this staff either won't or shouldn't return-Shurmur, Kelly, Lewis, O'Boyle, Harrell, and Hart all have to go.
We can still recruit a great kicker? What’s the problem with recruiting a kicker?
Has he ever hit from 50? His range is 40 MAX
