Even played a lot of Lytle and Fontenot. @Duff Man can't wait to hear your complaints!!
I'm very curious to see how teams try to adjust so that they key on Shenault. He was playing mostly in the slot. Will teams move their best CB into slot coverage? If so, does that mean that their CB3 is going to try to cover Winfree or KD on the outside? Chev putting Shenault into a split TE role like he has is very tough on a defensive coordinator's base scheme.Very impressive. Looking forward to seeing how he adjusts to teams keying on Shenault. He seems to be seeing the field a lot better (fully acknowledging CSU's is terrible).

Ronnie Blackmon is a FOOTBALL player. HCMM recruits some gah damn football players.
At times, but I also think we all need to adjust our thinking on this stuff. We now have playmakers again. You've got to want playmakers to take chances and put pressure on the opponent. Put it this way - if Jeremy Bloom could magically come back as a 20 year old player for us, if he was returning punts we'd want him to go for it any time he could field a punt with enough green in front of him to be able to make a move before getting hit. That's where I am with Blackmon. If he's got any space, I don't want to see him fair catching the ball.Needs to figure out where he is on the field returning punts though.

Is there something online I can rewatch the game?
My mom called me this morning to ask how the game went, she likes to hear about the Buffs but she doesn’t follow football. The end of the convo made so proud. :’)
“The sad thing is, most teams haven’t even played a game yet.”
My mom: “but CSU has played twice already and lost both.”
“I’m posting about that on our CU message board.”
this might get taken down soon
Agree. The ability to get the WR in space with short throws near the LOS also reminded me of the Chip Kelley system. The big difference between Kelly’s system and what I saw last night was that we were not running Montez in that zone read.I don’t know if it was me being pretty heavily intoxicated, but it seemed like when Chev wanted to, we were running plays at an Oregon- Chip Kelly kind of tempo. Very very impressed with the team getting set so quickly
And that was a perfect back-shoulder throw. Not easy to do.In a game loaded with slick plays the one that sticks in my mind is Steven's TD pass to Winfree. This year's WR contingent is great.

It seems nuts for us to be evaluating Montez’s performance when you look at his stat line, but I guess that’s because they did not ask him to do too much. Most of the throws were short, quick, but very accurate and he hit the WR in stride. (Kiszla was right for once, it was a little like a Tom Brady game plan.)Thoughts on Montez? We didn’t ask him to do much outside the long run, but I was impressed with his efficiency.
Heh. No complaints here. Glad the coaches opened up the playbooks on both sides from game one this year. Fun to watch.
