Other games 11/28 - 11/30

They bar

They barely handled an MWC schedule without multiple losses.

They're going to get annihilated in the playoff...if they can even get by UNLV
And we lost to both Kansas schools and Nebraska.

I'm not arguing that Boise is some great team. In the playoff they are likely to get seriously beaten.

Point is though that CU or any other B12 team would be just as likely to get seriously beaten in the playoff as well, probably more likely than Boise.
 
I'm pretty convinced that very few of you actually watched Boise State games this year.

They are decent on offense and awful on defense, especially the passing defense. Colorado would be a very bad match up for them.

And I'm saying this as a guy who thinks we don't belong to PO.
 
There’s absolutely no sample size of us playing against top B1G or SEC competition. I’d be curious to see how we do but think there’s a chance that it’d be a reality check as I just don’t think we’re there yet in year two. And until I get a sample size I’ll be very cautious to open my mouth as some of those schools have been doing what we hope to be doing for years. We very much need to prove ourselves at that level first.
 
Yeah. Its mid. Against teams who really run the ball, we are average at best. Look at the games we lost and see why we lost them - we got killed in the run game.
We are mid against QB who can run, we are pretty good against normal running defense. Big12 has more than 2 teams who are good at running the ball with great RB. Neal Brown is not even the best RB we have faced this year.

I think we will get smoked by those teams.

But you can't use one early season game when Oregon hasn't figured out it's offense as the sample to say they are 1 point worse than No.1 team. You conveniently ignored the other 9 samples in their conference games.

If you want to evaluate how good are they, you probably want to watch some of their games.

They are basically a poor man's version of ASU.
 
I would fancy us to beat Boise and think we’d have a decent chance but acting like it’s a foregone conclusion that we’d handily dismantle a 10-1 team that hung with Oregon is bonkers.
Well you’re not a ****ty hot take machine

Idaho hung with Oregon a week later.

I've seen a number of their games. They aren't great but they are much better than you give them credit for. They have a history, both recent and long, of stepping up to play well against power conference competition. Meanwhile what has our team, or the rest of the current B12, done to show that they should be taken seriously in high stakes games.

I am using it as an argument why I think it’s idiotic to say we’d destroy them. Some dude saying we’d destroy them was the point that started it.

Whereas your point is what exactly? That a 9-3 CU team with losses against Nebraska, KU and KSU is on par with the elite SEC and B1G teams? Because we got 2 of the best players in the game?

Huh? BYU win against a top 10 team and OkSU won against a SEC team.

It's crazy for you guys to think that Oregon team is the same as the Oregon team now. Like, did you see how bad their OL was before they change the personnel?

Both could be idiotic to be honest. It's like saying Big12 is better than SEC because the worst big12 team won against a mid SEC team in the early season.
 
Again. Cherry picking.

People bring up the KSU game like we got hammered in the run game.

Colorado held KSU well below their average in rushing yards and ypa up to that point in the season.
It wasn't just KU. Go back and look at my earlier post. We got run on by multiple teams this year. And we haven't played a back the quality of Jeanty who in some other years would be the Heisman favorite, who should easily be the first RB off the board in the draft.

Contrary to what you think, big12 has probably the best overall running backs in all the conferences.

Wait until the draft time to see if I'm right.
 
And also, I don't even think jeanty is the most talented RB in the country. I think it's the kid from ND.

However, Jeanty is having the best RB performance in the country, no doubt about that.

That Boise is essentially a JAG team. That's the point.

You struggle with Wyoming...you're probably not very good.

CSU beat Wyoming in a more convincing fashion than Boise.

They also struggled a lot against SJSU, who barely beat Stanford, one of the worst team in ACC.

SJSU could pass at will. Boise didn't have any way to stop them. Boise's defense made SJSU looked like Miami.

They also struggled against Nevada. They struggled against a lot of teams in that conference.
 
Until I see us play and beat top SEC or B1G competition I’ll be cautious to think we’re on that level. I need to see some things to believe them.
Agreed, and it's worth remembering that we lost 3 games this season without playing teams that are in the upper half of the B1G or SEC. We probably need to start dominating our own conference before we start to imagine we can compete with the best teams in those conferences.

Correct. We need to earn that respect on the field.
 
I don’t think anyone is saying we would beat the best B1G or SEC teams. I think we would be beat handily by most of the teams in the top 25. But Boise State is not one of them.
 
Who ran for big yards on us this year? Did we hold those teams below their season averages?

I'm betting we did in almost every case...which kind of means we have better run D than many other teams.
 
Simple, Baylor is a better team than us right now. They have much better running game, and Kansas has to sell out to stop the run which opens so many vertical passing games for Baylor. Two of their early TDs are simple slot fade pass.

It's amazing how much running game will help your passing game.

This is such bull****. KU turned the ball over, dropped passes, and fell behind ****bailer to the point to where they couldn't run the ball and dominate the clock the way they did with us.

If KU executed in the first quarter against us the way they did against ****bailer, we're in the CCG. If they executed the way against ****bailer the way they did against us, KU is going bowling.

KU played cover 1 and piled the box because they can not stop Bryson Washington, and Sawyer Robertson completed teared apart their D by attacking the fade route knowing that single safety doesn't have the speed to cover the sideline.

2/3 of their scores in the FH come from this. Go watch the film.

After FH, the game is basically over.
