I didn't manage to get tickets, but I went up to Boulder to watch. It was surreal to see our campus as the center of the CFB world.
The game started out ugly, but credit to our guys for sticking with it and not getting discouraged. The Defense was much improved, but it remains to be seen how much of that is due to Nebraska's terrible offense. The lack of run game was also frustrating, in that it kept forcing us into 3rd and long situations, but Shedeur and the receivers are so dang good that it often didn't matter.
When Sims sprung that long TD run to get Nebraska on the board, I was nervous that it may be a tough game to the finish. Instead, we responded with 23 unanswered points. As with last week, this team demonstrated legitimate mental toughness and resolve.
I never want to jinx anything by being overconfident, but we *should* be able to handle CSU next week. That could be a classic trap game for another team, but it's hard to see Prime letting his players fall into that mindset. If we're 3-0 going into Oregon, the hype train will be in overdrive.
