I have a feeling if we don’t see him this week, he’ll sit against Cincy as well and take the second Bye week to get healthy for the stretch run.

JFC people. We just aren't that good. OL and DL stink. No TE whatsoever. Going to take time. Portal can't be entire answer. Have ton start recruiting a solid base.
During the Bye week, if you said we’d finish out 2-5 I’d have attacked you. After Saturday, I think.
A three point loss to the #16 team in the country, in which they led with 2 minutes to go has you adjusting down your expectations that much? They lost to a good team.
Do you think Ohio State’s expectations of a Natty changed because of a 1 point loss to Oregon? Alabama’s? Georgia’s?

Quite a statement to say the D line "stinks".
Barely given up 4 yards per carry on the year and actually held KSU 60 yards under their season rushing average.
It’s style to me. Running the ball and playing solid fundamentally was what I expected after UCF.
Instead I saw a team that was badly manhandled and the score didn’t tell the story. We are literally hanging everything on Shedeur miracles.
I don’t know that KSU is a top 16 team after the beating BYU gave them. But I came away with the feeling that we almost stole another one that we didn’t have any business even being in the game.
Despite all the missed tackles from Shilo and others.

Being pass heavy is fine and expected given the talent makeup of the team. An issue arises when coaching doesn't seem to be fixing issues that are long standing such as SS having a habit of placing himself in long sack situations or being poor at faking the hand-off. It took the UCF to consistently move away from 10 personnel. CU does not need to be a ground and pound offense but would have benefited from an offensive coordinator less connected to SS.
You brought up rankings, not me.

I’d put Shadeur pretty far behind Hagan and Kordell in most categories. He reminds me of Koy talent-wise…just fewer wins.
What were you doing?
We had a path. But that was a Cinderella season. We split the rest of they way, 7-5 is a good season. I won't be mad about that. Above would be great. Below would be kind of disappointing. Remember, we were 1-11 and probably the worst team in FBS just two years ago. We need a QB tho. Probably through the portal.
Yes analytic rankings
Cam Ward might be available
Weird they’d be like that…
Be careful
I disagree with your assessment of them being soft. They've come back from 14 points down to take the lead twice. They continued to fight after being down 28-0 against the Nubs. I think their resilience is one of the strongest attributes of the team.
You are what your record says you are and you are what the score indicates you are. We couldn't do much to stop KSU's run game and they couldn't do much to stop our passing game. They had an INT as we were driving to score and we had an INT as they were driving to score. Same amount of first downs, similar total yardage, similar efficiency on 3rd and 4th downs. Just because KSU's style of play is different than CU's doesn't mean we didn't have any business even being in the game. It was a back and forth game where we dominated in the passing game and they dominated in the run game.
Outside of the last play in the Baylor game, "Shedeur miracles" seem more like Shedeur and the WRs doing exactly what they've done in 5/6 games and that's dominate the opposing team's Secondary.
can someone link a video or provide an explanation of what is meant when an opposing player does "the Deion"?
finally, my section had more visiting fans than I've seen at a home game in the Sanders era. they were obnoxious and dickish -- not limited to cheering for their own team, but going out of the way to mock and put down CU. I still support their right to be at the game.
with secondary ticket sales being controlled by online entities, the seller has virtually no control over who ends up buying their ticket. if a seller only tries to sell tickets to people they know, they're going to have a march harder time getting full market value. and I think you knew that already, but **** those fans anyway!
ok, but I assume you've had opportunity to be on the other side of that -- cheering for your team in hostile territory and then celebrating a win in someone else's stadium. those are the moments life is made for and I wouldn't give up those memories. i'm ok with other teams' fans having the opportunity to come to Folsom. all of that is part of the game and part of what makes sports fun and interesting to me.

We want different things in our home game experience.
I'm wondering how you reconcile your views on this with what you posted previously about attending concerts.
there were a lot of kjuco state fans in the house. who cares?
there will be a lot of cincy fans at the next home game too.
we are selling tickets, selling out, and if you cannot make it to the game, there is a live active market for tickets again, which hasn't been true for 20 years.
go with the flow.

It's not. It's our stadium, and it should not be normal to have to deal with opposing fans. They have every right to be there. And you have every right to give **** to those who sold them those tickets.
After reflection, and reading some of the posts, I am probably overreacting to a close loss. CU should have won that game. KjSU is a solid team, but not nearly as talented as CU and it annoys me that it appears to me personnel decisions and poor game planning are limiting what I think this roster could really do. JMO.
fair take. there ought to be a better way to do a official marketplace. ... that allows you to only sell to your own fanbase. that would be cool.
I had two Kst fans sit right in front of me and I became annoyed immediately. Then after half the grandpas behind me left and were replaced by an entire row of Kst fans
