Interesting article that Athlon does every year.

Colorado
“They caught people by surprise last year, but they may be even better offensively and they were already pretty good."

"Steven Montez opened some people’s eyes when Sefo (Liufau) got hurt and played very well in a difficult situation. It’s tough to come in as a backup when you’re not getting the first-team reps, and he was a redshirt freshman with no real experience so I think he’ll get better and better. He’ll turn it over a little bit, but he’ll make a ton of plays."

"Offensively, they run some unique sets, very multiple. They can use tempo in interesting ways, and they’ll throw in some motions, some bunches. They do some neat stuff."

"(Phillip) Lindsay isn’t a big guy at all, but he’s a war horse type guy. Just a very solid running back that they use in the quick passing game."

"Defensively, I think it hurts them to lose (coordinator) Jim Leavitt, especially to a team in the league, but D.J. Eliot is a really smart guy and will do a good job there."

"They’re going to be hurting up front a little bit with the guys they lost, so we’ll see how they reinvent themselves. They’ll definitely have to win games with their offense.”

Very interesting. I like seeing somewhat uncensored opinions from people who know what they're talking about. Also a cool quote about our offense...about how we do some "neat stuff".
 
This ends the debate on what to call the offense...It is now officially Very Multiple.

"...and Colorado takes the field with their prolific Very Multiple offense."
 
I should rephrase it perhaps, very few can make plays when they just aren't there. Every once in awhile you'll see a guy that can. Multiple offense is just eye candy sometimes but it can be effective. Honestly, I don't give a damn how they do it, find a way. 1994 was my favorite O, loved it.

That O was awesome. I also loved 89's...the other teams had no answer!!!
 
Should've beat ND twice which still pisses me off but damn we were freaking good then. One that really stuck in my brain was against the U in Boulder and to add the blown Nebraska losses. Made 2001 pretty sweet though.
 
Not positive but I don't think so. That's what made that day special. Everyone that owed me money that Monday, I found their ass lol, tried to hide.
 
The funny part was they'd say I'm on a conference call. I asked if it was the President of the United States, they said no, I said good pay me. Got all my money but I didn't leave them alone. I didn't stop called up Chuck all day and just played the fight song. He got pissed about it which made me laugh harder, he walked on at Nebraska for a year or two. Best day at work ever.
 
Chuck wanted to kick my ass but he finally got to laughing about it. He could've kicked my ass, big dude. He just asked me how did you know? I simply said, I didn't, I'd have been about 500 lighter. With me, it was more of a feeling than anything. We had been so close so many times, it was just time. Idk why but I had a feeling about that game and everyone thought I was crazy, pretty accurate actually lol.
 
Our offense will be good. We will win a few games 49-42 and lose a couple of games 49-42.

What would you call the O we ran in '94?
 
It was a lot of 2 tight, single back. I don't know the name of the offense as a whole. A lot of ace sets. I guess a multiple look, threw out of it, ran a lot of speed option, always used to have a te outlet if downfield was covered. More than anything, it was personnel that made it work. Nice to have a Heisman winner, a 4.3 qb with a cannon arm, good oline, and a te like Fauria lol.
 
The way the oline lined up was kinda cool. The guards weren't on same the level as everyone else. Idk if you can do that anymore, they were staggered a bit, I'm assuming to pull and get through traffic better. Anyway, it was a hell of a offense.
