Official CU vs Delaware Game Thread

Despite unhinged coaching decisions, giving up 400 yards to Delaware, Hodge being picked apart and burned for 100+yards by himself, over 20 bubble screens called and the OC running between the RG and RT instead of the strength on the left side... the one positive takeaway is only giving up 7 points. So there's that
 
Prime admitted that they coddled Juju so he would not fail?

What? That does not process for me

You did not let him do what he wanted to do and that hurt him, but you then call him young.

If its Staub, so be it, go and win games, but cannot wait to see how you keep this locker room together

You guys have no idea what goes on in the locker room, the team wants to win and if everyone thinks Staub gives them the best chance they’ll all be for it. Good gawd y’all.
 
Problem is that multiple true freshman QB's are killing it, especially Underwood and that kid at Cal, so Juju may be 17 years old blah blah blah, but with a competent playbook, he could have started the season

Coach Prime not being in the building all summer (for obvious and serious reasons) had a lot to do with how close this team was or how prepared they were. Shurmur did not do his job every moment

Let's see how Underwood does tonight in Norman. He may play great - but he might also look like a true freshman.

Your take on the left vs right side of line reminds me of our QB sneak in 4th and one last week.

Seaton and Hill completely caved in the the left side, making an easy path for Salter to gain the first down, but Salter…took a step back…to read the play and still went behind the right side initially, which was stalemated.
 
Juju is going to be good. He brings good energy and takes command. But he's a kid and he's drinking from a fire hose right now. They need to keep getting him reps while protecting him by keeping things limited with the packages and decision trees he's asked to execute. Until he's ready, go with Staub.
 
I’m seriously at a loss trying to understand what we are doing on offense. I’m not sure what we just witnessed. Wtf is going on? Staub running the offense so much better than the starter. How does that even happen.

How did we get to a point where they pull the starter and go to the third guy. Why is he the third guy. I get protecting the young frosh but all the rest is like our offense doesn’t know what it wants to be or do.
 
Simply put…no matter who is at QB, we need to utilize the run game, and TAKE SHOTS DOWN FIELD.

We have a bevy of big, talented receivers who can all make plays.

Bubble screens are fine…but not when you offer no threat over the top
They had their safeties inside the hashes and usually 1 was walked up. It was driving me crazy how little we went downfield to single coverage on the outside.

Also, does play action exist in our offensive playbook?
 
This is a ****ing mess.

Staub played with moxie, brought a spark, made good decisions, and hit some wide open dudes against some inferior competition.

JuJu barely got a taste looked ok, but also looked 17 years old.

Salter started out steady, but unspectacular, finished sloppy after sitting for 2 hours.

Love how Staub played today, but I'm not feeling like he's going to light up Houston next week.
Staub did more than “hit wide open receivers.” The big pass at the end of the 2nd Q was a gorgeous pass over the LB between the safeties—tiny but critical window. That pass changed this game.
 
I don’t think JuJu was told he was going to be the man this year so for him nothing has changed. Salter looks to be the odd man out, his body language his horrible, he can’t thrown on the run and if Lama says he can’t process, the body of work bears that out. Staub has been the one consistent since Prime got here. He looks the part and right now that’s half the battle. Pretty sure he’s going to run with the ones this week. I’m kinda juiced to be honest.
This is correct. Go with Staub as a bridge. Get some series to JuJu to at least test drive him. Go into next year with Juju and depending on how he looked this year, back fill
 
All the horizontal throws. And the unwillingness to run between the tackles. And again how does the 3rd string guy look so much better? wtf is going on

It’s more all the players and coaches looking at CU. What are they seeing? ****ty coaching, ****ty execution, no gameplan, soft defense, third string QB’s winning the job, etc. It just looks like a dumpster fire out there. Like nobody knows what the hell to do. Shurmer first and foremost.

No…neither does motion or anything to draw the eyes of defenders
 
Da Lama, honestly, what is Juju thinking right now?
He should be thrilled. He is getting playing time at P4 level as a true fresh 17 year old. If he is who we all hope he is, everything is ahead of him.

It would be insane to expect to start a full season as a 17 year old freshman, unless you’re playing for a team willing to throw a year away just to get him developmental time on the field.
