He’s had some poor game/clock management scenarios the past two years, but this is the first one that was so inexplicably bad and obvious and for him to bring that explanation to the presser was a really bad look. He usually starts answering questions he’s confident about before the reporter is done asking and gets a little defensive when pressed on stuff like that, but he waited for the full question and his answer was mostly a nonsensical, word salad. You could tell he was a deer in the headlights.
I didn't see it, but Gary B supposedly said they have one of the best running games in the country
Should just say that he would review it and see what adjustments are needed, but the reporters are so weak and so scared to ask a solid question or give a follow up that focus's on the historical scenario
The timeouts were not just about controlling the clock time, because we did have incompletions and did get out of bounds after that stupid long winding run, rather the timeouts were about organization and rest for your key players needed to try a hail mary. We did not even have the needed WR's down the field on that throw, and doubt all those guys were well versed on it. Just use the timeouts to manage the operation as long as you know the clock sequencing so you are not completely left without one, but at 8 seconds, you know that it is likely the last play
Every player on the field could have called time out. It would have taken very big balls, but I wish Captain Seaton or Salter would have. If you can watch a full replay, CP looked totally lost then. The fact no assistants said anything is bad.
Also unlikely, but given his teammates and coaches consistent praise, I think Salter maybe was nervous and also just had a "bad day".

Pat Shurmer is what you get when a sack of flour gets its big break. Absolutely boring and predictable.
A game plan with Salter as a pocket passer, in the mold of Sheduer, is nonsensical. Roll him out and at least force the defense to respect his running ability. If he can't complete passing out of the pocket...go with Juju.

It wouldn't hurt to throw over the middle every now and again
all the videos of him repeating "down and distance" to the players and he didn't know that or that the clock was running smh
Meh - they turned the ball over on their first 3 possessions and we got 7 points out of it. I expected the defensive performance, though I was annoyed at our inability to stop King at all. There was no reason to be trailing at halftime, however.
Exactly. We left quite a few points out there.
Smart, Tough, Fast, Disciplined, With Character.
The Smart and Tough failed to show up last night in all aspects. For the most part, everything else was solid.
Also, tired of quarterbacks running all over our ass. Can't remember who we were playing, thinking it was Toledo years back. That fupa ran all over us. Well, at least this guy was an athlete.
Time to move on. Is this the next Ralphie?
I’m starting to think it’s pointless for me to get angry at Pat Shurmur for being Pat Shurmur. He is what he is.
I’m guessing Pat’s philosophy is that turnover differential is the most important thing. Therefore, his job is to avoid turnovers.
In the passing game, Anything beyond the line of scrimmage and inside the hash marks is a big red DANGER zone. So he calls passes behind the LoS, along the sidelines, and over the top of the big red danger zones on long throws.
In the run game, he avoids end arounds, pitches or even misdirection counters that could possibly produce fumbles.
The problem is that it’s philosophy that tries not to lose the game but rarely tries to go and WIN the game. And it’s boring as hell to watch.

Just about every NFL OC will say that if they had the college rules where OLs could be blocking downfield as long as the pass is completed behind the LOS... that they'd call a screen almost every play.
It's a problem because when they get college OC jobs they have trouble wrapping their heads around how vastly less capable college offensive linemen are compared with what NFL OLs are able to do.
The issue I have with this viewpoint is that there are no more bridge years.
NIL and the portal make every team a one year experiment. Juju could very easily transfer out after this year.
Play the kid and see what he’s got. Salter ain’t it.
If you put King into our offensive scheme last night you will say the same thing about him. King ain't it!
We didn't give Salter the best chance to use his capability, and we didn't force him to use his capability. Both are the failures from coaches.
And as I posted earlier the fans don't get a vote. The coaches have a pretty good idea of what guys have and don't have, they see them in practices, in scrimmages, in film. This idea that they owe it to the fans to run somebody out there to "see what they have" is ridiculous, and I could use stronger words but won't.
The coaches are responsible for their results, not to leave decisions up to the fans. That was a quality defense that GT put out there last night. Juju is a talent and the future of the CU program (and no he isn't going to transfer,) we will see him soon enough but it will be the right time for him and the team, not because the fans are in a panic.
Agreed we do not have a vote, we are full of shyt, and we just talk out loud
I was all in Team Salter because of what we heard about his skills and even watching his film, but with him in the Shurmur offense and with him wanting to use his last year as an NFL interview, we are not in alignment with what I think even Prime was thinking would happen
We have a loss, not unexpected, but a loss, and now we have a run of 3 winnable games, with two at home
I also think we did not entirely know that our OL would figure it out, but last night showed me it is a real P4 OL that can protect him and if we can run 5-6 yards per rush, then that maybe what we needed to see to consider Juju
The posts about running out of shotgun are odd to me. We needed to do it out of pistol last year to give our backs as much of a head start as possible. With a good OL, which we now have, you can run out of the gun just fine. Watch Malzahn’s offense, they do it fantastically well.
This is a great example of “wtf are you doing Robert Livingston”. Their passing game was a non factor, we’re getting blown up in the run game and we’re just trotting out two deep safeties.
I think on one of those he could’ve gotten a first down but my memory sucks.
10 formation does call for that personnel group. But when the QB is a runner, you probably have to keep it as 4 DLs instead of 3 and cheat a safety up closer to the LBs. Otherwise, you're going 6 on 6 and the offense can outnumber you at the point of attack. I agree that this was a game where you had to trust your DBs to win 1-on1.
I was screaming about the 2 deep safeties on the last drive or so. Wtf?
Personnel group is fine just have to bring the Safety down in the box as you said. You have to force a QB like King to beat you with his arm
I really worry Prime will not play Juju till like game 9 unless we’re in a blowout.
I bet we see him in meaningful snaps next week.
