The defense did not receive help from an offense that had them on the field for major stretches of the game. The defense got stops and put the offense in positions to succeed only to be back on the field after another 3 and out. The defense’s failings were not independent of the offense’s inability to sustain drives.
Where do you keep hearing or saying $40M? We are not spending that much
Really? The defense was on the field for the first 9 minutes of the 3rd quarter. That has been the theme. Defense is soft, easily fooled and can't get off the field.
Not to pick a fight here, but again this is a team loss. They both did enough to harm the other side. Houston had the longest sub 400 yard streak in all of FBS coming into this game. Colorado had 200ish yards going into the 4th quarter. Neither side is good enough right now. I say "well the offense turned it over twice" to which you'll reply "yeah and how many turnovers did the defense force?". Both are the issue. Running the ball was an issue. Stopping the run was an issue. Pass efficiency was an issue. Pass defense was an issue. Turnovers and penalties were an issue. Forcing turnovers and penalties was an issue. Converting on 3rd down was an issue. Stopping 3rd down conversions was an issue.
$12 mil to prime and Livingston, 20.5 mil in NIL, pretty sure there's at least another 5-7 in coaches, etc. Maybe I rounded up a bit, but the point is still - this isn't a $35+ mil product we're getting
And all of it boils down to coaching, or the lack thereof
Gotcha, that makes sense. Thought you meant the Roster and I would be disappointed if our roster alone was $40M and it is not more 5*
Its more than half of it, which should piss you off enough
Not sure I agree but PFF does. Gave the defense their highest grade of the season with a 79
Reason for this is Colorado had some of the most insane defensive stats this game.
Holy **** you're dumb. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the moon landing, the shape of the earth, and "dinosaurs".
You can't give up on the run after like 5 handoffs.
It's crazy that the intangibles and obvious character and leadership traits were possibly off the charts even more than his physical traits.
I don't care about personal insults.
This is facts considering how ineffective our passing game is right now.
I thought we all knew that. Yeah, Travis is like worth like 4 players. Two players on offense and two players on defense and his impact on both ends is incredible.
Where in the almighty hell are you getting 54 TFLs. We had 4. Wtf.
After the game, my sentiments was more inline with you than MB, but watching the playback this morning. The defense was much better on a play to play level than the final data indicates. Like Tech, they just got gashed too much and late too as well as early but they forced turnovers in that game.
$35M is just the ante for P4 football in 2025.
Can you link a screenshot because, again, the stats say 4. Not sure where you’re getting anything close to what you’re saying.
I might have completely misread their data. That sounds more like total tackles. They barely forced negative plays on rewatch. Just not of good plays for Houston but no bad ones like Delaware and Tech had
and trying to find a positive to move forward with.
I asked this question before the season. Why did we move Helow to edge? We need LB coaching. Even if we get rid of Hart now, the damage has been done e. We have no talent or recruits in the system. No lb wants to come here. It’ll take tons of money or a couple years to get decent LB’s here.
