Wasn’t Kansas toward the end?

Yeah, I went to that game in Arrowhead. It wasn't that the D struggled with Daniels running, it was Devin Neal (207 rushing, 87 receiving, 4tds.) and short passes where the D struggled. Daniels passed better than he had in previous games. On the 1st drive they connected with a 50-yard pass play. Kansas definitely out-coached and out-played CU on both sides. Offensively, KU exploited a little bit of everything, they came out fired up and just executed throughout the game. They had a good gameplan got ahead early and just closed us out.

CU's offense sputtered early but started to make it close into halftime, however the initial TOP was very skewed to KU. We scored on our 1st possession of 2nd half making it 23-21 KU, then KU marched 80 yards. On offense CU got big plays, but nothing sustained, so they were quick scores. Defense was just on the field a ton and worn out. KU scored on their 1st possession of the 2nd half. By late 3rd and into the 4th CU's D was just gassed. Final TOP, KU 40:00; CU 20:00.

CU had 5 games last year where they gave up fewer than 100 yards rushing to RBs, and another 4 where they gave up 135 or less. Outlier games of Kansas State, where Giddens put up 182 by himself, TTU where Tahj Brooks put up 137 by himself, and Kansas, where Devin Neal dropped 207 by himself.

Kansas' o-line vs CU's d-line was a massacre. K state was certainly some of the same, but CU played well enough everywhere else to win that game. I just think those two teams had great game plans against CU, and it worked.

For the most part, CU did well against the run last year, but when teams had very good to elite run games, CU struggled.

I think Kansas and K-state had vastly better game plans and outcoached CU in both those games.

This may have been the most important thing that Prime brought with him, even more that his ability to bring in talent.

Since into the Hawkins era and all the way through Dorrell the most talented players on the team knew that they could slack and still were going to play. We had our QB at frat parties, starters showing up late for practice, dogging it in practice, and not doing their film/study work and still playing. There were exceptions but the culture was not one of high expectations.

Consistent with what Prime has done since getting here if Oatis or anyone else doesn't want to do the work they won't play and eventually they won't be here, doesn't matter how many stars they had in their recruiting rankings.

It doesn't happen often but sometimes kids will mature, will catch on to the culture and come closer to their potential. If the guy isn't a negative otherwise and he isn't taking up space that a better option could use no real loss in giving him the opportunity.

I agree with the “difference of degree.” Under Prime, a player who we hear is not giving it his all is being tested against a very different standard than before.

It’s entirely possible he’s not fully living up to that exacting standard, but he is still going to be a force in the middle when he’s in there.

He needs to join his teammates and dive head first in to the Body by Swasey program.

This is why the mantra of Colorado Football does not start with God given Athletic Talent
Oates, Cormani, Scott, etc, etc.... They get by on gifted athleticism until the playing field is level and then they fail
Prime is a gift for these young men to teach them how to be great.

Saw this on Bluesky, not sure from where it was sourced. But this is what we've been looking for and many of had been noting with the 2025 OL. They're fvcking MASSIVE!

Disclaimer: I love that we’re near the top of this list and I look forward to seeing it when the offense takes the field against GT. It’s been a minute since our OL looked as big or bigger than the DL of the opponent.

That said, how many of these teams have a set starting OL? In other words, what players did they use to do this math? I would guess most teams are still trying to figure out what the starting five is going to be.

Disagree. He’s behind on his conditioning because of the rehab for his injuries

Not what I’ve heard or what they’ve shown. Gillie tha kid pulled him aside mid practice to talk about getting the motivation that’s needed. Seaton yelled at him after 1v1 drills where he was half assing it.

Maybe conditioning is part of it, but it’s certainly not the whole or even majority of the issue

It sure if you heard the DNVR podcast the other day when they drafted Taco Bell menu items (all time). It was pretty funny and reminded me how much older I am than they are. They also pointed out that local Taco Bell ownership (at least the ones they worked with to set up promos) were big Buff fans/supporters.
