CU got dominated in the first half. If it weren't for the turnovers, we are hardly in the game half way through. But check out the second half stats.

We unquestionably won the second half. On the road. In front of 90,000 people and a FBS opponent.

Great adjustments by the staff and our emerging stars did their thing.

Scoreboard bitches!

Great adjustments by Eliot and Mac on defense and Chev, Roper and Adams on O. I still don’t like the jet/fly sweep being a staple run play, but maybe it’s something need to get used to like WVU fans did when they had Geno, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey.

Also, I think it was @CarolinaBuff who said our offense was gimmicky, and while I agree that it kind of is, I would say that outside of a handful of elite programs who have the talent and depth to run more traditional schemes, college football IS gimmicky. Chev obviously has no problem being creative and running trick plays and I have no problem with it.

‘braska was gassed in the second half.

Running time off the clock instead of the touchback and no time ran off.

My understanding is that a squib kick really only makes sense when there's very little time left and the kick can end the half/game or only leave time for like one play and/or when you want to limit the risk of a good return that may even end up in a touchdown. In that situation I'd have taken the 10-15 yards over the run off.
 
Watched the game finally late last night, awesone win!

Shenault is a beast, and landman is nasty.

The only disappointment was run defense and at times OL play. I thought CU lost after 2 missed fg's but they fought back.


This team has attitude, I like it.
 
All I can say is that I’m glad we don’t play Stanford this year. Their defense looks nasty and they would give us the same issues with run defense, sans the QB run

I hated the squib kick. Especially in this series.

I would assume for two reasons:
1) In the event of a short kick, a runback from the endzone is harder to defend than someone having to dive on a bouncing squib.
2) Bunch hasn't warmed up to the game & isn't the athlete Martinez is, so giving him a short field because of 1) is less of a risk.

Bunch was able to move the ball, though, so it was almost a problem. At the time I didn't get a lot of heartburn about it. Thought Bunch wasn't up to the task, and as it turned out, that last throw out of bounds was evident that he wasn't.

The two missed feild goals and then running sideways on fourth down...I figured at that point CU didn’t care about the game, and was just trying to kill me.

This is probably correct, if they weren't playing the backup QB.

I like evans, nice story but Mcmillian should be getting bulk of the carries. OL has to make big improvement, seemed better when sherman was in there.
 
Haven't read all previous posts, so this may have already been said, but man Roper's boy Montez. Hes not completely unsung, but the way he didnt allow all that pressure, all those sacks, all the frustration from those sacks... to not allow wave after wave of pressure to alter his mental cool, to stay in the pocket, to keep putting throws on target though he knows hes going to pay dearly for it-- I'm really impressed. Shenault gets the stat line, but Montez gets the game ball.
Hot damn, Pac-12 South has been served notice. We've got ourselves a heck of a QB and a heck of a QB coach.

Agreed. Let Sherman play, there was no drop off from Kaiser and Sherman has no where to go but up.

They needed six inches on the fourth down play, why they didn't go QB sneak is confusing.

I think the breakdown on the right side of the line (push on the interior & penetration on the edge) forced Montez to bow it back.

I really hope Sherman and Moretti can work themselves into playing shape. It’s crystal clear Kaiser and Tonz are not going to work as LT/LG come conference play. Also, I’m hopeful Lynott is just still recovering from the Achilles injury, but he’s been very shaky through these first two games.
 
SIAP, but what the F?

Punter Alex Kinney broke his collarbone on his first punt of the game, and was lost for the season
 
Also on the defense, they had 3 plays where they had the qb dead to rights for a sack/huge loss and missed. DA and johnson. The nubs don't get a couple of td's on thos plays. Johnson playing well though.

Got to shore up the run defense before conference play for sure.
