I think I remember him yelling at Jack Colletto after the pick 6 which seemed weird, but it didn’t appear to be too out of the ordinary.
now we know the source of the bad karma required for that level of collapse..

The first time he did it, Montez threw yet another perfect football. He jumped to look cool? No idea why, but if he just kept running, it was a TD. Instead, I believe we ended up punting.Can confirm: our fellow season ticket holder (who sits to our right) saw this happen and told us about it. So there was at least some anger on the sidelines.
Earlier in the year, Adams said Chiv was the sole playcaller.Is there a chance that Co-OC Adams is allowed to be 50% of the offensive design and 50% of the recommended play calls? This does not totally seem like a Chiv offense, and something seems mixed up with the game plans? There are many successful plays we run and then never run again! Seems like although Chiv is calling the plays that maybe Adams, possibly Roper, and of course MM are in his ear clouding up the game plans depending on the game situations?
Yes. This. This what I saw as well. On 4th and 8 on the last play for OSU, we rushed 6 (we’ll, blitzed 2). Shockingly, our corner couldn’t cover a WR and they scored s touchdown. If you are that bad in the secondary, put in a dime package, play prevent, ****...Target the receiver. But don’t sell out on the rush, leave your **** ass corners on islands, ‘cause guess what. You got burned on ever pass attempt.I’ll address it. We blitzed and sold out far too much. Not too little. The vet qb got the ball out quicker than the guy we sacked a billion times. He made good reads. And they attacked our weakness at corner. Our corners can’t cover man and they especially can’t do it against bigger more physical receivers. Our failure to adjust on defense when they put the new qb in was a deciding factor in the loss.
Next question.
Well I don't agree with that WR breakdown at all other than Viska is best, but duh on that one.The first time he did it, Montez threw yet another perfect football. He jumped to look cool? No idea why, but if he just kept running, it was a TD. Instead, I believe we ended up punting.
We have Viska >>>>>> KD >>>>>>>> JMac >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all the others. When 2 of them are out, we are ****ed

MM literally handed his last OC a playbook and told him "this is our offense."I think - and I know others disagree - that MM is meddling.
Completely different situation. BL was brought in to replace a guy who left to take a HC job. MM already had an established playbook and QB. BL wasn't there to change things up, he was there to call plays. DC hasn't changed the offense completely either, rather he has probably just added a few new things to it.MM literally handed his last OC a playbook and told him "this is our offense."
And that was with an experienced OC who had been calling plays for 3 years before coaching under MM...
If anyone thinks that the same head coach has given any real freedom at all to his brand new, first time OC/playcaller, well...
"I knew we really had to step it up if we wanted to be competitive in the Pac-12 with schools like Southern Cal and UCLA, Washington and so on. To me, it meant let's go out and really bring in a person that - and it's a cliché about taking us to the next level — but that's exactly what we had to do to be competitive. Those are difficult decisions, but those are ones that move the university forward.
The Charmin effect took over completely. The crowd could maybe have helped in OT, but we chose to defer, so of course OSU picked the Dal Ward end, so any benefit from a student section was largely negated anyway.I was not at the game, and this may have already been discussed, but how many fans left the stadium after the 75 yard TD run to put us up 31-3? Did that and MM’s charmin soft attitude about running up the score combine to create a mindset that the game was over and to back off? Luton had not taken the field yet and thus while things did not feel completely different were those factors an issue for these players? Would love to know all the players attitudes at that moment!

With ya.I’m still on the ledge
That seems about right, maybe a tad high. 79 percent over at ESPN.S&P gives us a 89%chance of making a bowl going forward.
Obviously, OSU was the 2nd easiest P5 opponent on the schedule (Nebraska), but I think most people saw 2-2 at the least down this stretch, prior to the OSU game. Did one fluky half really turn that perception into a downward spiral where we actually think this team is going to go 0-4?S&P gives us a 89%chance of making a bowl going forward.
I don't know. I don't know how badly this team wants it. 2017's version didn't want it badly enough.Obviously, OSU was the 2nd easiest P5 opponent on the schedule (Nebraska), but I think most people saw 2-2 at the least down this stretch, prior to the OSU game.

who are we going to beat?....cant win on the road...staff game plans road games to just try and keepthe score close and at home we have two teams coming in that are going to take marshmellow U to the woodshed...only reason bowl % is where its at is we have 4 cracks at itObviously, OSU was the 2nd easiest P5 opponent on the schedule (Nebraska), but I think most people saw 2-2 at the least down this stretch, prior to the OSU game.

i believe football is a very emotional game and that the attitude of the players can make a huge difference. I haven't seen reason to believe that HCMM is a good "fire 'em up" motivator following a devastating loss.Obviously, OSU was the 2nd easiest P5 opponent on the schedule (Nebraska), but I think most people saw 2-2 at the least down this stretch, prior to the OSU game.

So had CU held on to beat OSU the other day, even if the score had remained 31-3, would you still be asking "who are we going to beat"? One half of awful play and coaching and all of a sudden, CU won't win another game?who are we going to beat?....cant win on the road...staff game plans road games to just try and keepthe score close and at home we have two teams coming in that are going to take marshmellow U to the woodshed...only reason bowl % is where its at is we have 4 cracks at it
The reason I think we don’t win another game is team momentum and schedule.So had CU held on to beat OSU the other day, even if the score had remained 31-3, would you still be asking "who are we going to beat"? One half of awful play and coaching and all of a sudden, CU won't win another game?
If the bowl bid comes down to Cal game, that would be tough. Friday is damn near essential win.So had CU held on to beat OSU the other day, even if the score had remained 31-3, would you still be asking "who are we going to beat"?

The intangible aspects of the situation with a potentially mentally weak team is real, so I will give you that. There really aren't any leaders on this team, IMO, and it's going to be up to MM and Chev to get them fired up and to keep playing hard. With that said, I still believe they win at least 1 of the last 4 and go to the Cheez-It's bowl or whatever.The reason I think we don’t win another game is team momentum and schedule.
I think this loss will **** with the team’s mental attitude, and all of our most winnable games are on the road. Utah and WSU are playing very very good ball right now, and that includes how they are playing on the road.
