Official Buffs vs. Air Force Score Prediction Thread

Have to stop their running game. Get aggressive on defense. 5 down lineman, whatever. Make em pass more than they want. Blitz packages. Would be nice to get a couple turnovers this week.

As Coach Mac used to say "possess the football".

CU-37
AFA-35

Based on todays presser, KD is still living in his own delusion and isn’t yet convinced that running out Lewis is foolish.

AF 45
CU 17 (14 Shrout garbage time points get them past 45-3)

Loses the majority of the half of the team he didn’t lose at halftime of the TCU game midway through the second quarter.

Watched the presser as well hoping to hear something, anything different. We are doomed. Dude is completely lost at the wheel. It was a bit amusing seeing him get a little pissed when asked if punting in the third quarter in enemy territory might have given the team the impression he doesn’t trust the offense though. Clearly got under his skin.

That was the equivalent of Brian Howell dropping a nuclear bomb. I think it caught him off guard that not even Brian is in his corner anymore

Karl does not generally like media.

The question about the strategy for the pint was asked post game. He couldn’t recall the play/situation. Now he is asked about impact.

I wish someone would have asked about impact of 2H boos after Blew came out.

I wish someone would have followed up on details of Perry/Russell meeting. Did they request it or were they “invited” to the office?

Yeah, for Howell to have jumped off the boat, that is saying something.

For Howell to do his job being on good terms with KD makes it a lot easier.

Worth wondering if Howell has some information that indicates that working with Dorrell isn't going to be a long term situation for him.

Our administration has it's head deeply buried in the sand but after getting blown out by TCU if (likely) we see a similar result at AFA it may be that the pressure becomes impossible to resist and we start moving towards the end.

It is sad when even a degree of competence is not only an improvement but as a point of hope.

Sanford couldn't help but to be better, as would a number of other members of that staff.

I agree with a lot of the previous assertions that at this point, the beat reporters just can’t be sunshine pumpers and maintain any credibility. That said though, as quickly as the narrative has turned and as thoroughly it has turned with ALL of the beat and local sports reporters, this feels like prepping the PR battlefield.

There’s a lot not to like about RG’s handling of all of this, and it may not even be RG, maybe it’s the new president (it’s definitely not Phil). But this feels like someone saw the performance on Friday and and understands there’s going to need to be a decision made at the end of the year, and firing Arrogant Karl is going to be easier to swallow if that drum has been beating early and often. If he turns it around (he won’t) no harm no foul, look at the miraculous turn around. If he doesn’t turn it around (likely) then a foundation has been laid to make a move to help overcome the unpalatable buyouts.

Even this is generous.

Air Force may hang 70 on this team.

The only thing that would keep this from happening is that Calhoun has a positive relationship with KD and may hesitate really roll one up on him.

Working against that though is that even when Air Force is far ahead and has the starters taking off their pads on the sidelines they continue to run that offense with the 3rd and 4th stringers and our lack of discipline and effort might let the scrubs score 50.

Hard to accuse a team of running the score up on you when they hand the ball of and the guy splits the defense for 60 yards.

Yeah we're so ****ing bad they could not throw a pass and still hang 60.

Who is applying this “pressure”. Can’t imagine it’s any of us. And if it’s not us, I don’t see anyone else giving a **** about CU football.
 
CU gave up 9.2 ypc against a Power Air Raid team. Look for it to be worse against the zooms…

USAFA 42
Colorado 10
 
I don't gamble, but I'm thinking 2nd half line against the Buffs will be a very good bet, at least for the first 5 games until people catch on.
