CU @ Arizona State Thread (11/4, 7PM on Pac-12 Network)

[Sykobuff]

So, 3pt lead at the half, could be more.

Defense played decent until that last drive.

CU needs an early score in third and keep pounding the rock.

I will stand up for Panda on this one, Mac is a below average game manager and it is something that with his new found wealthy contract he should tighten up on and be a more mature and championship level coach. Hindsight is 20/20, but Mac has seen and coached a lot of football and seems to get lost in these detailed situations.

MM is the definition of game manager, IMO

Win the 2nd half or the season's over. Nothing else to it.

I'd be okay losing it by 2.

Why is it when we think of ASU we think of nude women in pumps?

Figured out where we’ve seen these ASU uniforms before:

Why specifically did we call a timeout with about 1:35 left in the half after gaining 5 yards on 1st down to make it 2nd and 5 on about the 25 yard line. Why was there a sense of urgency there? Let the clock run, run your 2nd down play, and then see if you are in a good position to go for the TD, or prepare for a FG. That seems to be a little premature and a little panicky. That timeout is responsible for the time ASU had to go down and score.

Frustrating half. Should be up by at least 10

What I find frustrating is that it's seniors missing on those plays. Those kinds of mistakes happen, but they seem to catch more difficult passes in traffic than when they have green in front of them.

I can't unsee that you bitch.

The score is what it is. There is still a second half to play and win. The team has to come out on fire and score on this first drive.

 

[patebuff]

Really weird people are calling out the coaches. They have just about called a perfect game

 

[The Monk]

Should still win this easy, but how many TDs have we dropped this year?

I agree about the clock management on the last drive, but outside of that, it’s been on the players.

Chev/Lindgren called a perfect first half. We've seen the O not make adjustments the second half in the past and is my biggest worry. CU has dominated, so let's hope they keep them motivated.

Need 4 TD’s

Completely agree

So many fans seem to live in a fantasy land where the result of a drive (touchdown) was inevitably going to happen and that coaches are able to time out how many plays and how much time it will take while never needing to call a timeout to get out of a bad play or avoid a confusion delay penalty. It's mind bottling.

Seriously. I try to do that **** on Madden, and I suck at it and fail almost every time.

They are robots. Get with the game

What’s with the chain link fence around their field? Looks bush league.

 

[cu3x]

GB really stressing how CU has to come out high energy and get the momentum back. Pesavento then says Laguda really ripped the team at half and they will be high energy. now this delay

I did feel running the clock with 1:30 left inside the 20, down about 30 seconds was pretty obvious, but yes, your point is valid.

 

[Bliff Cranch]

Three and out. Great.

 

[patebuff]

NICE!

 

[Buffnik]

Kinney is having a hell of a season. Great bounceback from a difficult sophomore year.

 

[GoonieBuff]

Nice field position shift right there!

 

[L Buff]

Take that punt ... Punks!!

 

[manhattanbuff]

Nice punt. Hopefully the D can contain

 

[Sykobuff]

Come on guys 2nd and 3 run the ball.

 

[buff4bcs1985]

That's how you flip a field

Neinas wasn’t just fired. That demon has been fully exorcised.
