That was a huge momentum change in the game. The key play IMHO.
Not catching the punt immediately before it contributed

Even worse...it was a hitch
Remains to be seen, although we did get seaton. Shame we don’t have an answer because they neglected it. I liked their transfer strategy but hindsight it probably hasn’t worked out
I'm assuming C is part of the right side. Hank got spanked all night.
Saw one of those new to being a CU fan YouTube videos by some guys who spent an hour breaking down film on Nebraskas two DL lineman that gave us fits today. They were manhandling Michigan’s OL last year, play after play. There’s plenty of blame to throw around on our OL and play calling, but they have a good DL and LB package with a decent secondary (which always looks better with good DLs).
This was their Super Bowl, all their podcasts were freaking out about this game. They played like it. We really seemed flat on offense. SS2 seemed way off all day, like he hurt his arm in that first or second series after one of the sacks. Passes were not crisp, and a lot of them were wobbly coming out of his release.
It's seattlebuff what do you expect
They didn't neglect the OL, they brought in the #1 HS OL in the country and 3 highly regarded transfers (almost 4), plus a few young, upside talents. But there's something else going on there.

At this point, I wish that we had the QR codes on our helmets like Oklahoma State tried to do. That way we could request our NIL money back…individually!

As has been said a million times...o.linemen need to start games together. Five fingers don't operate as well as a fist.
Seaton has been out best lineman...5stsr or not...that shouldn't happen.
Explain that in your own words please.

No ****.
We don't move the pocket, we don't establish the running game
When we do run...most of the time, it's side to side or RPO delays
8-4 or 9-3, they’ll be ranked either this week or the week after. Their first loss will be OSU probably. Their schedule is set up for it.
Somehow, that was less frustrating to watch than last week.
It's a coaching problem. The players can't even seem to handle simple DL stunts. Their footwork is questionable, which means they don't get the leverage they need, and they get beat. It's almost all coaching. There were rumors coming out of training camp that the OL coaching wasn't up to par. Looks like those rumors were accurate.
There's talent on the OL.
Oh, and when the OL is struggling - think about how helpful it would be to have a good blocking TE to bring in to help.
Hats off to a solid D performance.
One play kind of sums up the OL. CU had a 3 and 1 late and SS got under center, took the snap before the D was fully set. The Nub DL over the center stuffed Zink and Benson, SS2 wisely shuffled right to go around the two OL getting manhandled by one DL, only to have T. Brown get stood up and pushed back like a charmin soft high school OT.
Go for it on 4 and 1 and Charlie gets stuffed 2 yards behind the LOS because our OL couldn't push a shopping cart.
And yes, Pat Shurmer is dead weight.

Yeah but that's not neglecting to add talent. They're not playing well together and not recognizing stunts or blitzes, among other things. There's a huge coaching and playcalling component to that.
Midway through the 4th, Nebraska definitely let off the gas, but that was not the case for third and into the 4th quarter.
Shurmur runs a horrible blocking/run scheme for sure so I think it’s a major part of it. I just wasn’t a fan of the talent they transferred in
I just posted something similar and agree completely

Agreed. But I saw that as more forgivable.

The biggest issue is the guards and center. You routinely have them passing guys off to phantoms.
Brown can not be out there at tackle.
