Hansley worries me too, he's a good football player.
I don't know how you can say that a team wasn't motivated when it came out of the gates fast and dominated the game for the first quarter and a half. That's not a motivation problem. That's a knowing how to deal with success issue. It's a knowing how to finish issue (plays, drives, halves, games) in order to win.
Don't you need to have a QB to get them the ball though? I don't think we've played against such bad QB's since Hawaii last year.About the same concerns I have.
Yes. Crawley has not been as dominant as I anticipated early in 2015Agree on secondary concerns. As much as people are (rightfully) calling out Crawley, Witherspoon has been the bigger liability.
We shall see. They didn't need good QB play last year too win the game.Don't you need to have a QB to get them the ball though? I don't think we've played against such bad QB's since Hawaii last year.
Walker replaced Witherspoon and thought he played well. Wonder if we see him starting this week?Agree on secondary concerns. As much as people are (rightfully) calling out Crawley, Witherspoon has been the bigger liability.
Okay. What do you call it when the team gives up on plays and gets physically dominated AND they're behind (second half)? A "knowing how to deal with success issue"? The team wasn't motivated last year. They had no fire. As soon as CSU punched them in the mouth they backed down like a dog that had been kicked too many times.

I call it not knowing how to deal with emotional swings in games. Immaturity and lack of confidence. Being motivated is very different. The team wanted to win and came out fired up. You seem to have a particular definition for "motivated" that's outside the normal meaning of the word.
So true. This was also probably the most promising thing I saw on Saturday. Colorado had yet another very questionable penalty go against them (along with an ejection) and the team proceeded to get pissed and do something about it. At that point, the rout was on.We'll have to agree to disagree. Every college football team wants to win every Saturday. So what I'm really talking about is the degree of motivation. When a team doesn't respond to physical play, that indicates to me the team lacks true motivation. They want to win, but only if they don't have to make certain sacrifices to do it. That is why I love a guy like Lindsay. Kid is full go, all the time.

I trust Walker and he did play well when he was in. Upside's really high with Spoon, though.
