Sure. But don't you think the defense would play better with a field position advantage? Getting just around the 50 can be a successful drive for the offense.

It depends. If you're reasonably confident you can convert, you are helping your defense by keeping them off the field. If you don't have confidence in your offense to convert, then you should probably punt. Too many variables to say at this point what they should do in a hypothetical game situation.
Just imagine what will happen when they fix the little things and have their best practice ever next week.

What? Like you've never seen a horny beaver before? NTTIAWWTYeah, but eeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
My philosophy is to always go with the most accurate fg kicker, regardless of range. Not sure what we have right now, but we got lucky that CU had a top 25 defense last year that pretty much bailed out the kicking game.
It's an issue at the top, I am thinking. Not sure it considered a priority.

That is a good way to lose to CSU
What is?
Putting your defense in absolute terrible positions, whether that is CSU or USC.
Well, sure. Putting your defense in a bad situation is bad. Going for it on the 50 yard line doesn't necessarily do that, though.

Dentata comes from the Latin words for teeth and bewbies.
I re-watched a little of that CSU game and one thing I noticed was CSU's linebackers are not fast. I would imagine we will attack the edges early and often.

Really like the gap/strength analysis in a couple of these threads. If executed by Buffs, would result in a fairly lopsided victory for us (us ~50 points, them ~20 points). Really hope we see at least attempts by CU to exploit those gaps and play to those strengths. Forcing the ewes to pick their poison on the outside with our speed (mentioned by many others too), should be a lot of fun to watch.

If I'm CU, I already know what corner to go after. Also I like the idea of attacking the edges.
I don't know... it seemed like OSU didn't have a whole lot of success at the edges since their defense was flowing well to the ball. The play that worked every time was the counter with the pulling guard. CSU will probably work hard to fix that this week, so my guess would be that BL and DC will probably try that play early and have some stuff ready to go that builds off of that.
Lots open at 2
That's because OSU is slow and seemed to have very slow developing plays, from what I saw.
OSU looked extremely slow at across the board, tbh.

Goat nation is taking that win Sat to heart. Like they belong. Putting way too much stock that their D is up for what CU is going to do because they shut sown OSU in the 2nd half. Their QB crapped himself. Montez already did to OSU what CSU did as a RS freshman.
I'm sure the O was sitting their watching the game salivating Saturday.

CB depth is scary. 30 yo won the kicking competition. No changes I caught on offense. OLB and the linebackers in general are interesting. How they get Moeller and Worthington on the field at the same time (does Moeller go buff backer or does Worthington?).
I have to believe even though he is listed as a starter, Hasselbach plays on 1st downs and short yardage situations only. But that still doesn't get Worthington on the field as a nickelback unless you sub someone else out. Do we only go nickel in rare extra long situations with the Buff Backer on the field most of the time?
CB is basically Oliver and everyone else at this point. Hope some of those guys are as good as they have been advertised.
Overall I like the mix of guys at LB. Think we have some good speed and some good size, not a lot of experience though.
Moeller at Buff Backer and Worthington at Nickle apparently. Would be a very odd looking 3-3-5 formation.
