Official CU vs. UCLA 10/28/23 Game Thread

[Leon Sandcastle]

dude. we can't run the ball. we can't pass pro. we played one of the best defensive fronts in the country. i wouldn't have bothered with the run game either after the initial failures.

that ****ing loss that should never have happened to stanford is probably going to bite us in the ass with rabid teeth.

Furd almost took down UW tonight

 

[Hank]

Offensive game plan made no f*cking sense tonight.

 

[4BienemyTDs]

Yeah. I cannot disagree.

The start of the second half against Stanford, when we were up by 29-0 was the time where I was yelling the hardest all season long, because I actually thought that they could show us if they could run, and we still threw the ball 66% of the time. That was unbelievable to me above all things this season.

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Why is he out there?

 

[Da Lama]

Why is Shadeur still in and taking hits?

 

[Corey Trevorson]

For everyone freaking out consider for a moment if Dr. Phil had still been in charge and we had one more year of Dorrell.

For all those complaining about the coaching among other things tell me exactly which coach we could have hired who would have this program with more than 4 wins right now.

Am I happy? No, I want to see wins, I want to see a competent offense which starts with a competent offensive line which starts with P5 level linemen.

We have some big weaknesses, we have to get better in the trenches.

I don't care if it is Mike Munchak or the ghost of Vince Lombardi there isn't a coach who is going to make lemonade out of the bunch of lemons we have on the OL.

Last off-season we saw almost the entire team turn over. This off-season we will see less but I can guarantee that we will see an emphasis on the lines, I the current coaches aren't getting it done then Prime will replace them.

Meanwhile as frustrated as we are with a Dorrell team this would a 40 point margin with UCLA in mercy mode right now.

 

[manhattanbuff]

Oh sweet. Alton sighting.

Unclear why he only gets garbage time carries…

 

[BuffUp]

Rough game hard hits sore players this sucks

 

[MtnBuff]

Okay miracle man, who would do better? Easy to bitch, give a solution.

 

[ZKobalt]

Coach Prime's in-game management doesn't make much sense

 

[skibum]

Offensive game plan made no f*cking sense tonight.

There was a plan?

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Coach Prime's in-game management doesn't make much sense

How does that apply in this game?

 

[4BienemyTDs]

This is going to take 3-4 years and SS has only one more year, so interesting what is going to happen.
OL development is going to be challenging with BOB as the coach
Prime has to roll up his sleeves and commit to a longer process

 

[Big Iron Buff]

Unclear why he only gets garbage time carries…

I can't wrap my head around this. Is he hurt still? Is he struggling understanding the offense? He seems to run well when he does get carries? Baffling to me.

 

[Gary Indiana]

There was a plan?

*There

 

[Trogdor]

Why the **** is SS still in the game? What kind of idiot is Sub Prime?

 

[14er]

There was a plan?

Off a bye this was it

 

[jaybird]

Whelp.

 

[Liver]

beat by a better team. the p12 would be really ****ing interesting going forward. what a ****ing awful way to end a conference.

chip is a good coach and that was a good defense, but we simply cant expect to compete with that kind of ol play.

 

[ZKobalt]

How does that apply in this game?

You watched the same game as I did

or read the last couple pages

 

[White_Rabbit]

watching this OL every week

 

[Hank]

He doesn’t quite look like the same back that he was two years ago. But at least he’s a threat to run, and big enough to pick up a block. If the defense knows you’re throwing every play, that’s not gonna work. At least, no offense has proven otherwise.

 

[manhattanbuff]

I can't wrap my head around this. Is he hurt still? Is he struggling understanding the offense? He seems to run well when he does get carries? Baffling to me.

He is not hurt. He understands the offense. For whatever reason, they think that Edwards should start as a lone set back.

 

[ZandiBuff]

practice some deep breathing exercises or something. we knew we had gaps. we can still win this game. we aren't leveled-up yet.

You were saying?

Some gaps is a bad performance.

A total ****ing **** o line is 1.0 yds per carry, more sacks than espn is even willing to count.

Sheduer can't even ****ing walk at the end of this God damn nightmare.

 

[14er]

Lewis isn't it

A guy like him gets better when you feed him.

 

[Corey Trevorson]

Okay miracle man, who would do better? Easy to bitch, give a solution.

1. The Dorrell baseline is bull**** & not valid
2. I gave you an example of why the coaching is dog **** and making the talent gap seem way worse than it is

I've given a number of ideas here that would be something other than the definition of insanity that is the coaching staff. Yes there is a talent gap, no the talent gap is not to the point where the offense is an embarassment of incompetence.

 

[BuffUp]

CP is learning this isn't as easy as he thought

 

[Hank]

A guy like him gets better when you feed him.

Agree. No idea what’s going on there.

yes the ol got abused. this is, in my opinion, a good and productive offensive scheme. the open question is how much they can upgrade in the trenches, both sides, this off season. we will make noise next year. if they can recruit lights out on the line, it could be even better than noise.
