Well, great game. One of the best CU games I have ever seen.
I watched the 1st half, then left for my boy's baseball games. As I sit in the stands thinking CU is probably losing, a friend, out of the blue, no warning at all, blurts out, "CU beat ****braska". Gee, thanks, I was taping the second half to watch. GRRRRR. Anybody who knows me knows I am an avid CU fan. Oh, well.
As I watched, having the outcome spoiled, I was very impressed at HCMT's demeanor and coaching chops. Folks, he is here to win, no more MikMac golly gee whiz approach, no more Embree miscues (love the guy, but he wasn't ready for the HC gig), no more DII Danny daddyball and chicanery. If CU can hold on to HCMT, CU will be a force on the P12 and national stages.
The halftime adjustments were simply marvellous. I don't know if it is the new system still grinding its way into the heads of the players or two bad original game plans, but CU is coming out after the half firing on all pistons. That is what well coached teams do.
Jay Johnson needs a wheelbarrow to carry the massive set of cajones he is sporting, that flea flicker was the bomb...literally and figuratively.
All that being said, NU is not that good. Always fun to beat the red hoard. Especially so when they have returned to their alleged felon playing ways, and talking ****, whining about losing last year. They are going to get pounded in the B1G. They may not even go bowling. Frost is not a good coach. That was likely the last time CU sees him on the niblet sideline.
Wide right.
