I am not sure there is really much difference between the 2022 OL/DL and the 2023 OL/DL. It'll get fixed in 2024, but its pretty surprising how woeful the talent is there this year.

I am confident it will improve. I don't think any team has faced 4 weeks with defensive fronts as good as CU has dealt with. All 4 emotional games with a lot of adrenaline from those opponents, too.

I expect to see a lot of growth with that 3-week stretch of ASU-Stan-Bye before facing that excellent UCLA front 7.

I think both are definitely better across the board, but when both were historically bad, "better" does not necessarily mean good. I think things on the OL would have been significantly better had they been able to keep Roddick and Tommy Brown.

Yeah, when Kamara was out of the game, CSU's front wasn't much of a factor in pass rush if I remember correctly, and he's a legit NFL guy. Oregon and Nebraska both have really good fronts. The talent is certainly there for USC to dominate like Oregon did, but I'm just not sure how well coached they are.

We shall see, but both lines did get dominated at times during that CSU game. There is still a lot to work through there and room for improvement, but there is absolutely no room for injuries.

Them getting legit pressure rushing 4 is highly concerning given the woeful offensive line at Colorado.
 
we have a chance-- the rbs have to factor in somehow, even if we don't get a "good" ground game going.

no one including usc is going to "overlook" us at this point, but if we catch a couple of breaks, it could be a dog fight.

I'm hoping it's a dogfight. My fiancé went to USC to get her doctorate and I can't stand to hear about how we've never beat them. I don't think I've wanted a win against SC more than I do now.
 
settle down. i understand why the students want to rush the field. and i understand the risk to players and coaches associated with rushing the field. in particular, Coach Prime doesn't need to get stepped on or run over. that is why there are all those security guys around him.

i am going to go ahead and predict that if we win, the field will get stormed and i bet rg and the whole staff will be fine with it-- protect Coach Prime at all costs, however.

Buffs win, and poach the top talent from the Condoms…and their recruits. The Flatirons really woo them!
 
Haven’t seen Shedeur take a snap from center all season. 100% shotgun.

They’ve figured it out. Can’t try the run if you’re not going to have formations under center … I thought they’d switch up and run Smoke vs CSU to change it up but no …. Same thing.

Too much of a good thing (shotgun spread approach) is a bad thing when they don’t mix it up. I want some power run looks like we did vs TCU on the goal line. Fake out of that to throw to the Antonio, Harrison, Fauria types.
Just give the D some different looks to think about. Oregon was teeing off.

We’ll never see Shedeur under center in this offense or any other modern offense.

You don't have to justify anything to me. I'm just a voice on the net. Saying that, I'm happy you are getting married and doing things for your grandma. I'm just giving you ****. It's all good Brother.

Snaps from under center are basically dead in nearly every successful offense in college.
