I wasn't meaning to call you out personally, but there is a whole lot of meltdown and overreaction for the first 3-0 start since 2009 (?).You're a really bad poster!

no worries. I realized I made it sound worse than what I truly think.I wasn't meaning to call you out personally, but there is a whole lot of meltdown and overreaction for the first 3-0 start since 2009 (?).
There are definitely positive signs. It's just disjointed or something. Need the OL to gel.
YPA is right where you want it to be for both of them.Are those positive signs, or symptoms of the first teamers playing an entire game against a mediocre Big Sky team?
26 carries from Lindsay and 41 pass attempts from Montez make those numbers less impressive.
The targeting penalties are really disapointing. I almost feel as our players targeted out of frustration because we weren't dominating as expected.
So unnecessary..
**** Tom BradyMontez has mentioned on many occasions that his favorite QB is Tom Brady.
8.7 YPA for Montez is pretty decent -- he's averaging 8.5 YPA thus far which is top 40 FBS. Lindsay's 5.8 YPA is also not terrible but his 5.3 YPA thru three games only ranks 140 in FBS. Lots of body bag games for many FBS teams thru three games so the stats are inflated a bit. My take is Montez, while erratic, is getting the ball down field despite shaky OL protection but that could change with better competition ahead. Lindsay's numbers, while okay to date, will likely fall unless the OL gels.Are those positive signs, or symptoms of the first teamers playing an entire game against a mediocre Big Sky team?

sorry, hard to tell from the stands. I will rewatch the game today. Just seems he needs to get his head up on his tackles, getting to be common.Laguda's target wasn't blatant. He tried to lower himself and there was no way to stop. Safeties are going to get one of these every once in a while. He didn't do it because he was frustrated, he was just playing hard.
On the personal fouls and other penalties that changed the score by extending UNCo drives:
Laguda's was a penalty by rule. He did lead with his helmet and it was the right call.
Mulumba's was a sketchy call for a long-time football fan and I'm having trouble with this new reality. He didn't dip his head. Ran through the QB and their helmets hit as much due to the follow through on the throw as from anything Mulumba did. This is tough. As a DL, you're taught to disrupt the throwing lane without stretching so high that you miss the tackle. I guess you need to target the QB's belly button these days, which seems weird to me. But it is what it is. UNCo's QB took one in the chin and that's a targeting penalty by rule in 2017.
Franke's late hit on the QB was obvious and just stupid. Took 2 or 3 steps after the ball was released.
Holding call in the red zone was a hold. It was the right call. Some of the other calls on the OL were questionable, but that's how the refs were calling things and you've got to adjust to that.
...... Something to watch against teams like UW and USC who run more pro style sets than we are used to.
Yeah UCLA runs a lot of spread though, and we don't play Stanford so I didn't mention them.We can add UCLA and Stanford to the list, as probably the purest pro-style offenses in our conference. UW and USC are multiple, but run a lot of pro-style. Feel that this style is our biggest challenge. We all know we don't defend TE's!
Granted that was just Pac 12, but their highest graded QB in the country last week was Josh Jackson at 91.8, so wasn't too far off.Interesting.
Can't believe someone scored higher than Mason RudolphGranted that was just Pac 12, but their highest graded QB in the country last week was Josh Jackson at 91.8, so wasn't too far off.
Yeah, I see a bunch of Tweets about him from the PFF guys, who love him, but Kenny Hill was the Big 12's highest graded QB last week. Did Rudolph finish that game? Maybe they are only including complete games?Can't believe someone scored higher than Mason Rudolph
He had a full game of stats in one half.Yeah, I see a bunch of Tweets about him from the PFF guys, who love him, but Kenny Hill was the Big 12's highest graded QB last week. Did Rudolph finish that game? Maybe they are only including complete games?
2008... And then what happened?I wasn't meaning to call you out personally, but there is a whole lot of meltdown and overreaction for the first 3-0 start since 2009 (?).
Yeah, there's no difference between the program in 2008 and 2017.2008... And then what happened?
Started 3-0 in 2010 right? and then Hawkins was canned after Kansas a couple weeks after that.
There are differences, I agree, but I think you also might agree that CU's 3-0 start in 2008 is more impressive than CU's 3-0 start this year, and there are some very valid reasons for concern based upon what we've seen so far this year.Yeah, there's no difference between the program in 2008 and 2017.
