That may have been the moment, in response to sass from the youngan and the general pleased vibe of Texans enjoying their barbecue and beer, that I wished for a cackle. And was delivered two.

With the exception of 2 of them which were real sacks. They were all coverage sacks. Baylor was dropping 7 and doing a great job in coverage. Easily the best secondary we played this year
Don’t feel bad. At the CSU game last year it was going so late my daughter needed to get home so we had to leave early. So same as you I watched in the car and saw the end at home.
Very important that SS finished with +26 rushing yards.
He made them pay a few times for dropping into coverage

not sure if it’s been said already but I don’t think we win that game without Silmon-Craig
She’s married to one of the members of the staff I believe
The book is completely out on how to stop CU, and that’s to be able to pressure Shedeur with only 4 rushers. A lot of 5 and 6 man boxes which means they need to keep pushing the run game to soften the secondary up.
Love seeing all the locker room celebrations.
Big difference in team vibe this year v last year in the well off videos. Looks a lot more like a cohesive group with self belief. They even know the fight song!
On retrospect abandoning the run in the 2d half was still really bad. OL, now in its 3d configuration, needs help. Our tackles got abused last night.
Respect to the defense for a decent effort. Not perfect, especially when we keep giving up long QB runs, but we are ok there. The lack of pass rush is now just bad. We suck at it.
Wish our offense was living up to the hype.
We won't get another miracle this year. Can we just play ok for a stretch?

He had 77 rushing yards removing the sacks.
Our DE group is way over hyped. Probably a decent group but nowhere near to what they are hyped to be
Okay. Reality check. Maybe. Some preseason rankings had us 11th and bailer 12th in the Big XII.
So, are we and bailer significantly better than those prognostications? Or was this a case of two bad teams being pretty equally matched?
Personally, I thought bailer looked pretty good and are probably significantly better than the preseason polls.

It’s a week to week league more than any other, but Utah with Rising at QB is probably alone in tier one.
Such a weird game where it felt like we were the better team most of the night, but then the D would give up that one big play, or the O would go back to SS2 trying to take deep shots and we'd lose momentum.
Shedeur has to get better about stepping into the pocket. There were several times where he had interior protection and the OT's were running the DE's behind him, but he moved back into the pressure instead of up to avoid it. Of course, then he'd break 6 tackles and make a play with his legs.

I agree. I thought the refs were really biased against us tonight. But great game. Don’t know how SS got the ball off, right where it needed to be on the Hail Mary. He was about to inches from being crushed.
They've been really good against the run and they do get some pressure, but it’s frustrating that they seemingly can’t get home with sacks
Looking at Kansas State's last two games tells that story very well.
Huge game between them and Okie Lite next week.
After playing almost every play on both sides… he is in perfect position on the last play of overtime to tackle the ball out BEFORE the goal line, as a CB. That’s some insane endurance, toughness, and understanding football.
There have been a few two-way players in the modern era, but no one has ever done what he’s doing.

Fair.
Honestly, I didn't think our holy FSM would allow both the Mets to beat the Phillies and the Buffs to beat f*ck Baylor in the same day.
It’s SO hard to contain a true duel-threat QB. The fact that we held their offense to 21 pnts, and only 7 in the 2nd half is insane to me.
Last year there was some sentiment that because 90% of the roster had been flipped we might expect to see more in season improvement from the Buffs compared to other teams. That unequivocally didn't pan out.
Maybe with the 50% roster turnover this year, that will play out?
Either way, you're dead on that this group does seem way more cohesive.
And we have become—mostly—really fun to watch again. D keeps us in games, and we are very capable of connecting on enough haymakers to win.
The defense kept us in the game in the second half.
And not just this year: not hyperbole to say, this kid is playing into all-time LEGEND status.
