Getting ahead of ourselves??
If Staub was 'lights out', JuJu got his reps and Salter sat, would Salter be eligible for a RS year? A pressing question.

No. He already used his RS at Liberty. The worse thing is, if he would have went to Cuse, he was facing the same issue. We say he should have went to Auburn but even Hugh Freeze went a different route and took an unpolished talented Jackson Arnold over what he already knew well. The facts is, Salter just wasn't as good as we hoped he was.

No, a graduate transfer cannot go to any school during the season without restriction; they must adhere to sport-specific transfer windows, though they are exempt from the traditional "no-contact" period after the season ends and must be eligible according to NCAA rules. To transfer, a graduate student must apply for admission to their chosen school, meet the academic requirements for graduate study, and have a remaining year of athletic eligibility.

You never know when an athlete will experience a breakthrough. Staub's transformation is a perfect example—we had no way of predicting it would happen until it actually occurred. Between my sophomore and junior years, I underwent a remarkable physical development. I achieved a 10.30-second 100-meter dash from a standing start, recorded a 35-inch vertical leap, ran a hand-timed 4.5-second 40-yard dash, and reached a 385-pound squat with a 245-pound power clean.

Just six months prior, my performance metrics told a completely different story. I was squatting only 135 pounds while focusing primarily on plyometric box work without additional weight to refine my technique. My 40-yard dash time was 5.0 seconds, my vertical leap measured just 24 inches, and during training sessions, I was working alongside female athletes who weren't even among the stronger members of their group.

The transformation demonstrates how unpredictable and dramatic athletic development can be when proper training protocols align with natural physical maturation.
 
I think we need to pump the brakes on Staub a little bit. Hopefully he continues to play well against some of the better teams on the schedule. But if he doesn’t, the kid has still been a solid member of the program. At a minimum, Staub has shown the other QBs and the entire roster that if you perform, you play.

Maybe he's shown KS what an audible by hand gesture looks like and why you'd want to call one.

I did feel bad for him when he was getting booed at the end of his last possession.

Yea... that was a rough outing for him. He was obviously playing hero ball - or terribly ****ing up the read - instead of running the offense on his almost fumble play. But it sucks he got booed. I can't recall a QB getting hated on by the fanbase this quick.

If Salter leaves, does he still get his money?

Where is Salter going? The portal is closed and we are in week 3 of the season.

It was a poor decision to put Salter back in the game in the 4th quarter mop up duty after he'd been sitting for 2+ hours. Not just a bad thing to do with him, but why not keep getting Staub as many live reps as possible at that point?

Do you have any eligibility left? Asking for a friend.

Why are 4 / 5 OL blocking absolutely no one in this image?

LOL.

And yet there was a pocket to step up into and even run forward through.

TV seems to like showing close ups of KS scanning the D prior to the snap. I increasingly feel like he’s not taking in any important information.

We gonna stop feeling bad for guys. This happens every year at CU at other positions. This exact situation happened at Baylor. They played Dequan Finn to be their starter, he flopped, they went to Sawyer Robertson and never looked back.

My only concern is that CU has never had a great donor culture. So hopefully it doesn't turn anyone off if they were tapped for NIL and then the guy doesn't see the field.
 
I keep hearing one of the DNVR guys talking about how KS didn’t do anything to deserve being demoted, as he moved the O down for scores on his two drives against Delaware.

I think this overlooks the fact that we struggled to move the ball with KS in both games. We were barely getting first downs. Didn’t KS have to do a QB sneak on 4th at midfield against Delaware that we barely got, after having failed on the 3rd down sneak?

There was nothing explosive within the offensive under KS, only some scramble drill, hero-ball success.

I think our running game also improves markedly when we are able to throw downfield. Thankfully, we’ll get a chance to see this weekend.
