Yes please. All of that.
This has all of the makings of a game that CU gets it together.
You have a CU team that has under performed and not played great (I actually think the D has played pretty well but it has not been a good look so far overall).
You have a less talented opponent. Much less talented across the board.
If you are being honest, CU does have its back against the wall. They need this win more than the Ewes. Lose this and the wheels are off for CU. The Ewes can go into conference play and still do well. CU may not recover if they lose this one. CU needs this one more.
Even though the Ewes are much less talented, they have been running their mouths all week. Not a little bit and they have been doing it publicly and in the press and media.
The head coach at CU is immensely proud and has seen his image take a pretty good beating nationally. He likes to say that what others think about him and the program do not matter but that is not how he is wired. He cares and cares deeply about his image and the perception of him. The spotlight, and a bright one, are what drives his Brand.
CU has been very quiet this week from players to staff. I think there have been fewer Well Off videos. Not much talk of the Norvell wife and kid comments. The press tried to bait them into bulletin board comments but to no avail.
Just my gut but this has the making for a real beat down.

And the team has to be pretty aware of a cheap shot last year that put a teammate in the hospital.
104.3? No wonder I’ve never heard of him.
I don't care about under center. I'd love any form of Downhill running game that stresses the Da gap responsibility. Straight ahead inside zone and counters with pullers who can't get to their blocks are not cutting it.
Game 3. For me tonight’s game is the baseline for the rest of the season. If we haven’t figured things out by game three against an inferior, talent-wise, opponent, then we are in big trouble moving forward.
If Prime wants to shut the critics up he had better deliver tonight.

RK was saying that players who weren’t even at CU last year saw that hit on Travis and have told him how pissed off they were/are.
Pistol is fine too. Just have to give the back a couple steps down hill to gain some momentum. Can’t just hand it to them while standing still in shotgun.
Besides, we all saw Shedeur line up under center and attempt a QB sneak last week… definitely not his thing and probably more opportunity for disaster
My CSU buddies invited me on their party bus with a free ticket to the game and I turned it down. At first it was because I knew I’d be an asshole and probably wouldn’t end up well. Now, I’m glad I’m not going so I don’t open myself up to the shame and humiliation if they lose.
"must win for Alfred"
Man, the gameday picks for the game were lacking in any confidence.
Des flipped a coin and said CSU.
Saban said, “gotta go with my guy Prime and I really hope he gets it turned around”.
Pat said “if last week wasn’t a wake up call for that program there will never be one and this could be my last time picking CU”.
Corso picked Buffs
Herbie says CSU wins because they’re at home

He came with me to the game in Boulder last year so it would be the pussiest thing ever if I didn't go this year.
Too kind iyam
No one asked you
Darth has some valid points but overall has completely jumped the gun and his way over the top
And you suck at using idioms
I'd ask if you were already drunk and belligerent, but it's you.
No. But I'm doing battle with toddlers
2 might need to accept the fact that he hasn’t earned any of this deference. Dude should be going under center if he’s Mr NFL, AND should be running an offense instead of playing selfishly
Agreed. Any other coach was his head coach, we’d likely see under center and not Carte Blanche freedom with the offense
Shedeur under center with a balanced attack and strong run game would’ve been the absolute best value for his draft stock and they’re willfully flushing that in favor of tanking his draft stock. Could’ve shown he’s a great pocket passer who is coachable and can spread the ball around to win the game…. Instead, we are cutting off our nose
Only at CU
You will hear no arguments from me on this.
As much as I’m sure they’d love to let guys sit and heal up for conference play, they can’t save anyone tonight. Need Nwankwo in the middle.
