Their prediction is based on the assumption that the CU offensive line can give Shedeur enough time so it becomes a shootout.PFF crew taking CU by 3 and 4 points respectively.

This should be an easier matchup for the OL. All four of the front 4 guys are NFL draftable guys but they never stunt and they rarely blitz which is usually what gets this year's crew in trouble.Their prediction is based on the assumption that the CU offensive line can give Shedeur enough time so it becomes a shootout.
If this becomes a high score game I do think we have chance. To make it happen, Shedeur needs to make some quick throw, and not give up too many sacks.
They have one sack through 3 games against New Hampshire, Sam Houston and TCU. Maybe our OL will make them look better than that, but their pass rush obviously hasn't been a difference maker so far.Their prediction is based on the assumption that the CU offensive line can give Shedeur enough time so it becomes a shootout.

their DC will likely see the stunting and blitzing giving us issues and incorporate that. We can’t bank on them not adjusting based on film lol.This should be an easier matchup for the OL.

One thing I noticed about TCU was they got the ball out quickly but the bigger issue I noticed is UCF secondary is pure basura. This is by far the worst secondary we have played in two years. They are physical and have talent but their awareness is low and they stand around too much and don't be paying attention time and time again.
It's not something they do. If they just decide to do it against us, there is a good chance they will do it poorly, get stuck on blocks and 2 will have all day in the pocket to destroy their coverage unit.their DC will likely see the stunting and blitzing giving us issues and incorporate that.

Blitzing is not hard to incorporate. Sure, stunting is more difficult to implement mid season. Blitzing is not.It's not something they do.

Blitzing isn't but stunts are and you need to have guys good at the blitz. Remember how bad some of our guys last year were at blitzing from the LB position. If it's not something you do, it's not easy to just do it consistently in a game. While CU is currently bad at picking up stunts, they were going against one of the best teams in the nation at it in Baylor.Blitzing is not hard to incorporate. Sure, stunting is more difficult to implement mid season. Blitzing is not.

Nebraska has 11 sacks so far, 6 of them comes from playing us.They have one sack through 3 games against New Hampshire, Sam Houston and TCU. Maybe our OL will make them look better than that, but their pass rush obviously hasn't been a difference maker so far.
IMO, their strength (running the ball) feeds into our strength (stopping the run) and our offensive strength (passing) feeds into their defensive weakness (stopping the pass). If our run D is good, not even great, I feel like this is a matchup that highly favors CU.
Nebraska has 11 sacks so far, 6 of them comes from playing us.
Baylor has 12 sacks so far, 8 of them comes from playing us.
It's a sack party whenever a team with decent DL playing us. I fully expect UCF to have 5+ sacks in this game.
UCF still has one of the lowest pressure rates in the country. It’s all relative. Our OL hasn’t been very good and Shedeur holding the ball too long hasn’t helped, but UCF isn’t close to Baylor and Nebraska with QB pressure. Both of those teams also have far better secondaries than UCF, which cause Shedeur to hold the ball longer.Nebraska has 11 sacks so far, 6 of them comes from playing us.

Also more opportunities for sacks as we don’t run as much. But you’d think we’d develop a quick game. It’s so odd that 99% of our pass plays take time to develop.Nebraska has 11 sacks so far, 6 of them comes from playing us.

This is my kind of analysisI know absolutely nothing about UCF other than it propelled Frosty to his beautiful run at Nebraska. I never bet, so I don’t really care about the betting line. Purely from the viewpoint of an ignorant fanboy, I see the buffs dominating this group of unknowns 42-21.
We have guys open underneath, it's just Shedeur always wait for long development route. Baylor has good coverage, I don't think Nebraska's secondary is that good.

Many Baylor sacks were coverage sacks. By the time we had a WR open, 2 was hit. Could they have held their blocks longer at this level, of course but in the NFL, this also happens so he had a nice taste of what happens in the NFL.We have guys open underneath, it's just Shedeur always wait for long development route.

That's exactly the issue I see. We don't have to give up those sacks. At least half of the sacks against Baylor is Shedeur holding the ball forever to wait for a route development.
And this is especially true when we are 1+ TD behind. When Shedeur has his mind set on "we need to pass to catch up with the score here", everything else goes away, no running concept, no quick option, it's just him sitting in the pocket and fans praying for a heroic play. The crazy thing is he and WRs are just that good to make a lot of heroic plays, but the tendency is definitely there: when Colorado is behind and Shedeur wants to pass, it's going to be either 3&out or big play.
Well the answer to that would be run some quicker developing routes. When we have a 4wr set, do all 4 need to runs 15+ yard routes?Many Baylor sacks were coverage sacks.

2 regularly ignores RB leak outs. That cost him at least 2 sacks.Well the answer to that would be run some quicker developing routes. When we have a 4wr set, do all 4 need to runs 15+ yard routes?

He didn't ignore any from what I saw. He might have missed one dropping his eyes on the pass rush but he was getting hit. Let's not be idiotic. He wasn't clean back there like 2001 Ken Dorsey.2 regularly ignores RB leak outs. That cost him at least 2 sacks.

Of course but realistically, he's going to drop his head. All QBs do in that situationThen you missed some. It's part of why he was getting hit.
Ok?Of course but realistically, he's going to drop his head. All QBs do in that situation
