CU vs CSU.....never too early

- Start date

If Oregon State wears them down physically like I expect and CU plays their game this could be in mercy mode by half time.

Correct me if I'm wrong....don't remember dbl teaming Rashaard Higgins and we won that game....I have confidence that Oliver or whoever will be a blanket on Gallup....make no mistake, Gallup and Laguda are buds...but Laguda will put that aside for a clean hit against him..

Which is what's going to happen. The tides have turned. The ship has been righted. The talent disparity is getting greater. They can't possibly recruit good enough DB's to compete with the WR's we have now or in the future. Oh and the WR's coming in are better then anything they have now
Pretty sure their new football field, and the old one too, are named after their legendary coach, who went 4-9 versus the Buffs.
Nick Fisher.
Duff be like....
Heh. More like expecting some retroactive praise for CSU's offense.
I'll eat crow and be the first to admit I was wrong about them if they drop more than 24 points before garbage time.Heh. More like expecting some retroactive praise for CSU's offense.
Likewise.
They didn't last year. They didn't get a first down until the second quarter was almost over IIRC.
You are correct, and that probably coincides with us having actual D-linemen for the first time in forever. But I still have flashbacks to a couple of years ago when they had 4 or 5 new guys and just ran it down our throat all day.
The last time Dan Hawkins coached against CSU, we beat them 24-3 and we really didn't do much in the second half of the 2010 game. Even CSU only beat us by five points in our one win season in 2012. When we had good teams especially 2001, we whipped them hard.
As a citizen of this state, I have enjoyed the CSU-CU rivalry but this rivalry is going to be one sided again no matter how good CSU is and there is no point in continuing this series on an annual basis. We are more like an old Big 12 South team than an old Big 12 North team in the Pac-12 so we are going to have the advantage over them one way or another.
Only way we lose or win in a close game is we beat ourselves.

You sound worried. Quit being such a pussy.

by half..
I'm with Duff here.
CSU improved greatly throughout the season. 2016 in review (I watched every game):
After being completely embarrassed by us, they were able to turn it around.
They lost a game they should have won AT Minnesota. Minnesota was a good team.
They were caught off guard by a very good Wyoming team the next week.
They should have beaten Boise State.
They lost a nail biter at Air Force.
Nobody beat them like we did.
Their offense was humming by mid-season.
They will play Oregon State tough at home in the opener. Game could go either way. I am picking CSU.
They will not be "beat up and worn out" after one game against anyone. They will be fresh and pumped for their Super Bowl.
Their HC is a very good Offensive Coach.
Their DC is solid and has been for a long time.
Our D staff is going to be working thru some kinks.
A lot will be known early in this game. If Montez is composed, I think we score a lot of points. If he gets rattled early, which is easy to do, and throws some mistakes, or we have early turnovers, it could be a dog fight. I expect every phase to count, especially Special Teams.
The beat some good teams and played good teams tough in close losses. Except Colorado.
Colorado embarrassed them. They will have extra motivation. Will we?
Those expecting another dominating victory will almost certainly be disappointed.

Good analysis but they definitely should not have beat Boise state.
Not worried about what they do, worried what we do.
