Official CU vs Delaware Game Thread

Salter is terrible, and there is nothing to gain by playing him any further this season. Also, giving JuJu two series doesn’t help anything. Let the kid play after Staub in these type of games.

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

Ya it's genuinely hard to tell if Salter is terrible or if Shurmur is just a terrible OC who isn't capable of calling plays for a run first QB. Salter was actually good at Liberty so I'm leaning towards the latter. But it doesn't really matter which one it is when the end result is bad.

Salter made his money in 2023 - 61% completions, 2,800 yards passing, 40 TDs, 1000 yards rushing, 12 TDs. But in 2024 - he was pretty average. 56% passing, 1,800 yards, only 15 TDs. 600 rushing yards, 7 TDs.

Colorado bettors are happy with that miss. Lol

Is Ryan Staub our best QB?

In order to have the best chance to beat Houston, YES
In order to win the Big12 in 2027, NO

I don't think there will be very many more of "these type of games".

 

[Hallett Hell]

Beat the spread I guess.

Is Ryan Staub our best QB?

Just in terms of passing…maybe

 

[Da Lama]

If this is true - then why not just start the season with JuJu?

This came from an in game discussion.

 

[MKBuffs]

I don't think there will be very many more of "these type of games".

Which is exactly why he should have gotten a ton of run.

 

[4BienemyTDs]

That is the emotionally saddest looking team winning by 24 ever

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

Beat the spread I guess.

Game isn't over yet.

I hate being a Buff most of the time

He benefited from having a very talented team around him in ‘23

That much is painfully obvious now

 

[Da Lama]

Wow. Salter just might not be it. And I was a big Salter guy coming into the season. But he’s just not taking any shots downfield. Yikes.

They do t try at him over 15. Confirmed.

 

[Hallett Hell]

Game isn't over yet.

We can do time management, right?

 

[Lt.Col.FrankSlade]

Run the Plays Throw the ball, the other coach will understand that you have a QB situation

 

[1991 Orange Bowl]

Obviously win first. Ryan Staub is the only reason you win this walking away. But you totally blew that opportunity to evaluate Juju Lewis.

 

[Jerome]

Worst 31-7 win I’ve ever seen

 

[Matt]

I’m baffled by the coaching decisions today

 

[BuffLuke80]

They’re pretty good at pass blocking imo, not very good at run blocking

That's a mentality they don't have yet.

 

[4BienemyTDs]

This presser will be fire, Prime has dug a huge hole

 

[alec10burks]

That is the emotionally saddest looking team winning by 24 ever

I don't see that as a bad thing tho, they know they could've played better and I'm glad they're not satisfied with that.

 

[Robert Sorell]

I feel like I know less about this team than I did following the spring game.

 

[Corey Trevorson]

That was an atrocious offensive game

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Staub deserves to start going forward until proven otherwise. Enough with the rehearsals.

 

[Hallett Hell]

I’m baffled by the coaching decisions today

I only hope that everyone knew this was the plan from the start.

 

[hawg1]

Salter and juju look defeated.

 

[BuffinCali]

Gave up 400 yards of to Delaware

 

[rosstr]

Start Staub and give a few series to Juju. Just like Brad Smith and Chase Daniel at Mizzou back in the day. Gotta know if JuJu can play by end of the year, so you can go back to the portal and find another.
