Can I use "and" and instead of an "or"?
Don't disagree with anything you said. But is the personnel on this team right for the 3-4?This year's defense held up much better against UW than last year's team did. There is still work to be done, mostly in recruiting. Also, it's OK to acknowledge that UW is a CFP caliber team and CU is not. I get the "no moral victories" thing, but CU is nowhere near as talented as UW across the board, but most notably in the trenches, so to use the UW game as the measuring stick for questioning CU's front 7 personnel is a little
Yes, and the point of my post is to say that you will see the personnel fits the scheme "better" when we aren't playing CFP-level opponents.
So we'll hold fUCLA under 6.5 per rush?
Yes and no. With some of the upperclassmen, they were recruited for a 4-3. Franke, Coleman, Mathewes, others. But with the JUCOs and guys who are 3rd year or less who were prep recruits this was the system they were recruited to play in.
Yes
Jordan Carrell was a complete JAG as a Junior. Witherspoon was a liability as a Junior. Both were NFL caliber players as Seniors. Again, fan expectations for JUCO kids remain far too high in their first year in the program.
Binary had to look that up for context "limited risk" for the OOC yes PAC 12 = we're screwed. To the OP & let's call it what it is no & no. To reach 7-8 wins this year will fall on the shoulders of the offense..jmo.
If they were able to land 2-3 guys like Carrell, Edwards, Mulumba, etc. every single year (and they all worked out), it would work in theory, but it's probably not sustainable.Which makes it all the more laughable people were actually lauding the JUCO-heavy strategy of DL recruiting this offseason, not to mention our "depth" on the DL.
I wouldn't exactly say laughable but the expectations created by the "he weighs 300+lbs so.." thought pattern and there ya go and is made further believable during Spring & Fall ball knowing no one knows any different . Almost like the ice cream man dressed in white with goodies that's all out of your favorite...expectation with zero chance of reward.Which makes it all the more laughable people were actually lauding the JUCO-heavy strategy of DL recruiting this offseason, not to mention our "depth" on the DL.
Ya think? Other than Carrell...we've got diddly. There's about 5 Buffs playing D right now at a P12 level & only Carrell comes close to being one of them.
You're 8 beers behind...P12 level right now: Oliver, Lewis, Worthington, Laguda & Moeller. I'll give Udoffia a thumbs up because he makes progress week to week.
What about Carrell?
He's the only one on the D line coming close to playing P12 ball and just outside of the bubble, realistically Frazier when in the game is not an improvement.
