CU vs Utah 12/12 10:00 AM Fox BIG NOON SATURDAY - GAME THREAD

Gifting them 3 points. Sigh
I'll be pissed if those 3 points are a factor in the outcome
What a horrific coaching end to the half
Literally free points.
The game clock started about 2-3 seconds late on that first play
Still in the lead and still get the ball first.
The only problem with just taking a knee is Utah had all 3 timeouts.
They weren’t aggressive. They let the clock run down to 16 seconds and weren’t running an aggressive play. That was ****ing stupid in every respect.
All good. I was confused
Running the ball up the middle is not exactly being aggressive. Best case you pick up 5. Worst case, well...
Aggressive would have been throwing the ball to try to get another score with 1 minute left at the start of the possession.
We ran ****ing dive plays. The decision was to be conservative.
Only thing I can think of that would explain KD's thinking was that Utah had 3 timeouts and KD didn't want to have to punt in this weather.
Best case you pick up 5? Brou had three of those over 50 yards last week

After the 8 yard run on first I don't think they would have burned them. If they do and CU punts it's still 1000x better than a fumble on your own forty.

point taken, you are correct
Right. They could’ve bled more clock even after the first down run. Utah wasn’t calling a timeout then.
Nobody takes a knee there. Can't fumble and have to make sure that is drilled in your RB's head
Always risk in any decision. Maybe on 2nd down when there’s 12 seconds left and Utah isn’t try to stop the clock, that’s when you kneel, but it’s all hindsight. Nobody questioning the call if Brou hangs on
The field conditions and the opposing DL are totally different.
BUT, Utah wasn't using them. Running the ball on 1st down is fine, kneeling on 2nd down was the right move.
But whatever, what's past is past. Need to figure out a way to put points on the board in the 2nd half. Utah's going to find a way to exploit Nate being out.
Against AZ.
Yeah, Utah isn't Arizona.

If he hangs on, they likely take a knee on the next play anyways.
