Is that you, Confucius?
Plenty of reps available with 2s when they are running 2 units of O hurry up against D1s. Or reps on the other end when 1s are running RZ. They can get reps. It just doesn’t have to be an expense of QB1 trying to learn new schemes, checks, installs, etc.
The issue is giving that player meaningful snaps. The thought you should just give the backup snaps regardless of situations and games is the problem. MM obviously failed in this area
A simplified offense is going to help Montez more than anything.
How many years running have we heard the "simplify the offense" mantra? I am going with 17.

I am not advocating for Noyer, but we are criticizing his limited play under the lasy staff...a staff that was fired due to poor O production, poor O-line play, poor ability to adjust to Viska being out, lack of creativity on O, lack of player development, and general bad decisions. Doesnt seem fair.
The QB coaching hasn't been the problem. We can fault Lindgren as an OC and recruiter, but he was decent at QB coaching. As was Roper.
Noyer is a complete unknown to me. Great, he looked good in a scrimmage. I'll change my opinion when he plays well, when it matters. Maybe not even an unknown, unproven is better, I suppose.

He got passed over last year and again this spring.
It was actually down to two plays:
1. Middle handoff shotgun
2. Go long....I’ll look for ya
our offense was so simple last year that as soon as we lost the top receiver in college ball and started to face p5 defenses, we stopped winning entirely.
and, i think no matter what the offensive philosophy is this year, if we want to win a few games, we're going to see the ball going to where we are best-- the wideouts. we're not a power offense just because we say we are a power offense. it will take time to get the right guys in place at TE, RB, and OL.
as for usc, they are deserving of fusker level hatred.
as for the qbs and backups, i think a few things may happen this year-- when/if montez makes a bad mental error, i think he'll get pulled for a series or more depending on the game situation. i think that will be true across the board at all positions even though our backups and depth aren't aways where they are supposed to be.

The worst play I saw in the spring was Akil Jones sucking up and taking himself totally out of the play on the Mangham inside TD. Atrocious.

Probably should send an email to Els.
Sparaco is a walk on transfer from Montana State. Rule changes in effect now no longer require a year of ineligibility for players paying their own way. Below is a link summarizing the rule changes. Dante can play this year.

I agree that expectations should be low, but for a non-scholarship player, there’s zero risk involved. The one element that may make the case for optimism is that Sparaco is finally playing at his correct position instead of OLB. If he gives CU a few snaps here and there, that’s a win.
After watching CU beat those Cornholers on the road last night and feeling all that bottled up hate for anything Nebraska flow through those veins, I just cannot get myself to hate U$C.
You should banish yourself to Nebraska until September and then you will realize no PAC team can possibly garner that much hate from CU fans. Not even CSU can get that haterd from us.
I don’t have hatred toward any Pac 12 program except Oregon. Talk about a program born on 3rd base that think they hit a triple.

WTF?
UW for me. Those assholes in Seattle have an arrogance about them, completely unearned. They act as if Seattle is the greatest place on earth as if not seeing the sun 300+ days a year is mentally and physically healthy. I never cared for Pederson either, he fits perfectly with the dog crap in the PNW.

I wish we had Phil Knight. I'd personally sacrifice every child worker from a third world country to make it happen.
Oregon and Washington fans are annoying as hell and it is funny that they hate each other. ASU is the program I hate the most in the conference though, no doubt about that one. Everyone else is usually fine but Utah fans can be a pain in the ass because I think they know Denver is better than SLC and like to talk **** to us for some reason.
Either way there is no way any of them will catch Nebraska for most hated team.

WTF?
Denver? What does that have to do with college towns? **** Denver. It’s Boulder!
Because most of our fans are from Denver and ute fans have a weird inferiority complex about it.
