I found the post oblique.
Today sucks... I hate this ****ing feeling...
You’re right
Why do tht analytics not support your claim?
Is one dude running for 331 yards against us a usable data point?
This is ultimately what it will come down to.
Almost any offensive scheme works when you block well, none work without it.
Some can make it easier to block for but ultimately football is blocking and tackling.
Is one data point across many an outlier or a pattern?
There have been periods of weakness for this run d. KSU did it. Nebraska did it for a half. UCF and Texas tech and cinci had success at times
Could be, or maybe the data set is suspect. We're good against the run when the run games of our opponents have over performed against weaker D.
Does the 4-2-5 Work the best against the run?
I feel like many teams can pin the DE inside and then start running in the seams and it is then up to the ILB and CSC to stop it. They have all done an admiral job, but it at times always end up with 5-8 yards.
The DE have to be bigger monsters, and the ILB in a 4-2-5 has to be combo quick to run stop and pass cover.
I also hate to say it, but we have two overachieving Safeties.
Savion Riley is an "X" Factor I am just curious about, and we should work hard to sign 1 or 2 major Portal Safeties

Loose lips, sink ships.
CU has held 9 of 11 opponents below their season averages to this point in the season. CU has been solid against the run, particularly against the traditional RB run game. Kansas is the major outlier.
UCF is 4th in rushing at 254 ypg. CU held them to 177 yards
KSU is 16th in rushing at 210 ypg, CU held them to 185 yards
Cincy is 39th in rushing at 181 ypg. CU held them 171 yards
Baylor is 44th in rushing at 179 ypg. CU held them to 166 yards
CSU is 45th in rushing at 178 ypg. CU held them to 131 yards
TTU is 73rd in rushing at 158 ypg. CU held them to 113 yards
Utah is 93rd in rushing at 135 ypg. CU held them to 31 yards
Arizona is 119th in rushing at 108 ypg. CU held them to 107 yards
NDSU is 8th in FCS in rushing at 209 ypg. CU held them to 157 yards
Kansas is 14th in rushing at 212 ypg. CU gave up 333 yards rushing
Nebraska is 100th in rushing at 129 ypg. CU gave up 149 yards rushing
It's a data point out of the full sample size - do you think PFF is just picking and choosing what games and snaps to grade?

I support systemic racism
Win Friday. Getting the help we need is not as far fetched as it seems.
First off BYU is not that good especially the last 4 weeks. I think there is a 30% chance Houston wins that game. So there's that
If they don't I think good chance KSU beats Iowa State. And if they do we just need U of A to beat ASU....I live in Phoenix and went to ASU, Buffs are my #1 not even close. That is a blood rivalry game with a history of the weaker team winning especially when they are at home. Could very well happen.
But let's win and put the pressure on.

Very jealous at some of those team rushing averages.
Very. Big 12 is a running conference and CU went the opposite direction (for good reason considering our personnel).
Yes, this is my point. We've defended well against teams that have stats that were accumulated against poorer competition. When we run into a "real" rushing attack we got schooled. I'm not disagreeing that we're performing well in comparison to the rest of the conference, I'm saying that to ignore what actually just happened is an indicator that we are not defending at any elite level.

Our OL played very good, there was an overall good pocket all day and Shedeur was actually stepping up into it, but we only made a few downfield throws, cause we appeared not to be willing to take a risk.
The only moment of tragedy are the 3rd and 1 and 4th and 1 run calls, which were absolute garbage calls
If you are going to run it, bring in a ton of mass and just freaking smash them, but do not have 3 WR watching from afar while you run a Shotgun Zone Read, man was that demoralizing
You're missing the point worse than Yak.
Yak slapped!
How am I missing the point? The PFF grade is holistic of the 2024 season & per Yak's numbers the D has held the opponent below their average except for 2 games.
PFF Rush Grade: 85.5, 41st
D Rush EPA/play: 0.056, 36th
D Rush Success Rate: 40%, 50th
None of the complete season analytics back the statements.
Man - ****ing dmac can be such a douche. He is trying his best to turn Prime's 'smelling our own success' comment into him blaming the kids for a loss when it was really a coaching failure.
Luckily Polumbus is shutting him down at every turn. Even Hastings is saying dmac is being dumb.

Seeing as how Prime said "coaches included" during his post game speech, seems like something Dmac listened to a 10 second soundbite and that's it
Leipold will leave KU at some point. They also have like 30 seniors including a lot of covid years, so they probably have a large rebuild. They didn't build via the portal.
You're passing over Sitake and Dillingham. Sitake is probably going to be Big 12 COY.
More than anything though, you're overreacting. KU is a good team that for since reason choked up 5 games early on but is probably going to end up going bowling and oh by the way just became the first team ever to beat three straight ranked teams despite having a losing record in all three.
Sometimes you just get your ass beat by a good team. I think the majority of us were gripping about this game, and for good reason, it turns out.
Yep - even though they literally played the entire soundbite before he started blathering.
Leipold is the best coach in the Big 12, imo.
