I'm conflicted about what to write because I feel proud of this team while also not believing in moral victories.

So I'll put it this way: our defense won this game but not by enough to make up for how badly our offense got crushed.

Going forward, we have a team identity to build upon which I believe can result in overall winning football this season.

Go Buffs!

Who'd they play today again-Youngstown State? You're praising him for that?

I mean they’re no Northern Colorado, that’s for sure.

Also I feel like you’re going to wake up tomorrow and regret the Saturday night version of ahoelskin - you’re embarrassing yourself, so do yourself a favor and take the rest of the night off.

Chev is not a good OC and the worst part of it is that he's got it in his head that the title means he's too big time to have to recruit.

I guess that’s the reason, I don’t know. It’s possible that he’s just not capable of doing both. Fact of the matter is that he’s not doing his career any favors with his body of work here.

Did you even go?

And no-I won't. I honestly don't give a **** what any of you think of my takes. I'm pissed off with this fanbase, and some of the **** I've read on here since I left the game-these kids played their asses off.......and there was WAY too much "**** this game because its in Denver" (there's a thread on that in here) or "Karl Dorrell sucks, so I'm not going to go" (you people know who you are).........and then bitching on here because we took a top 10 team to the wire and couldn't finish.

Be better as a fanbase or go find some other way to waste your Saturdays in the fall. Some of you are ****ing pathetic.

I have COVID, so no I didn’t go, but I did get a text from Chev after the game saying they really missed me and if i had been there, he’s pretty sure that extra energy would have put them over the top.

Tell me more about how to be a better fan though, I sure appreciate your hot takes on the subject.

Hahaha so why can't Clayton see the field here? Is that on Dorrell?

Honestly it looked like he went the wrong direction on a few plays. And a few where he got the ball, it looked like he ran “unconfident” - bent over at the waist, head down. I don’t know, just casual observation.
 
The failure to go for it on 4th ended with a huge momentum and spirit shift. Abandoning the run was criminally stupid. The O pass interference call was clearly wrong. Opportunities like that are rare.
My daughter was on a CU bus and said the students had a great time..
Go Buffs.
 
How come these games hurt way worse the morning after? So many “what if’s” after this one. What if we’d made our FG? What if we’d made that first down? What if Nate had made that INT? What if we’d stopped them on 3rd and 9? Ugh!!!

If CU had stopped them on 3rd and 9 they end up losing 9-7.

After a night to think on it, I'm absolutely convinced that setting the goal at "keep it close going into the 4th and see what happens" turned out to be the equivalent of a prevent defense.

Instead of seeing the opportunity to really put the game away in the first half, the coaching staff (starting with KD first and foremost) was content to play conservatively.

They had the other team on the ropes and lacked the killer instinct necessary to finish them off. The team had it - the coaches did not.

Not surprisingly, the same dynamic plays out of the recruiting trail as well. Call it being nice, call it being conservative, call it whatever you want - this program decidedly does not go out and get it what it wants - it waits for it to come to them.

**** - that's how KD got the job. He didn't go out and get it. He wasn't pursuing the opportunity from the beginning. He landed a dream job by "being patient and waiting."

Of course he's not going to go out and fight for a recruit, or a win.

If he wanted to be a head coach again, when the CU job came open he should have been all over it. Talk about not being able to see on obvious opportunity. Instead... he kept it "close" until the 4th quarter and saw what happened.

That's not a recipe for greatness. It might be a recipe for finishing a little above average.

I am not a “Mel fanboy”. I liked his recruiting focus, but felt his gameday coaching left a lot to be desired. I think Dorrell is the polar opposite. I hate his (lack of) recruiting focus but think he’s a pretty good game day coach.

My post to you yesterday was more about your insistence on calling everyone “dumbasses” or “dumb****s” or telling people to shut the **** up or “**** off”.

Actually you could argue KD being overly aggressive in the first half cost them the game.

See, I felt like going for it on 4th down inside the 5 was KD trying to win it in 1H. He had the chance to go up 2 scores and give a little breathing room, but he chose to really make a statement. Poor call to just line up and go QB sneak again, as their rushing success to that point wasn’t due to the OL physically dominating, but rather because they spread A&M out, worked double teams up front and let the RBs find the holes. He should have called a TO and come out with and actual play. One of a handful of brutal coaching mistakes that cost them the game.

I don't really agree with this tale on KD.

He is a great teacher and coach of fundamentally sound football. He's not a great gameday coach.

KD does not, and would never in a million years call a flea flicker on our own 4 against NU.

He completely lacks the instinct to sense when there's an opportunity to do something great.
