Shedeur Sanders - 2023-25 Tracking History Thread

The TT defensive strategy was reminiscent of when Penn State upset Miami for the national championship. Entire game plan was to keep the receivers in front, put a lot of responsibility on the linebackers, and force Testaverde to be patient enough for 10+ play drives in order to score points. I thought Shedeur handled this exceptionally well by not getting impatient and by avoiding turnovers. Particularly impressive because our Buffs had zero success running the ball so it was 100% on him.

Those LBs for Texas Tech can cover. I don't know if other Big XII teams have the coverage skills at LB to do so. BYU LBs look pretty athletic. But Utah, OK State and Kansas don't have those type of LBs making this approach possible

McShay loved the game because of his anticipation skills was on full display

That does explain his bouncing and floating around early in the pocket. He was convinced and confident he could shred them, but if they cannot sack him, and we choose not to run the ball, then play cover on top of cover. Could we not have ran on the edges?

The problem is that it's almost impossible to keep the CU WRs in front of you after they get the ball. This becomes even harder when your DBs are playing too soft at the line.

The "Mt. Rushmore" for Colorado QBs has to be Shedeur, Hagan, Kordell, and Sefo; right?

Then Koy, then Klatt as honorable mentions?

If anyone here was over 35, they would likely put Bobby Anderson up there.

"He was the Buffaloes' dual-threat running quarterback during his sophomore and junior seasons, and led the team in both rushing and passing. The 1967 Buffaloes finished 9–2 and second in the Big Eight Conference, and Anderson scored twice as Colorado beat the Miami Hurricanes in the Bluebonnet Bowl. The 1968 Buffaloes finished 8–3, for third in the conference. When the 1969 Buffaloes faced injuries in the backfield, Anderson shifted to running back for the third game. The team finished third in the conference and went to the Liberty Bowl, where he rushed for a bowl record 254 yards and three touchdowns in a 47–33 victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide. Following his senior season, Anderson was recognized as a consensus first-team All-American."

Would also add Ken Johnson

Johnson was a graduate of the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he played from 1971 to 1973 and earned a degree in marketing. His career record as a starter for the Buffs was 18 wins and 5 losses. He led the Buffaloes to road wins over LSU and Ohio State in 1971 (and a #3 national ranking) and a home win against Oklahoma in 1972. At the time his college career ended, he was ranked #3 in the history of Colorado in total offense.

I was gonna say - Sefo over Bobby Anderson is serious recency bias.

Johnson though probably gets knocked off the mountain by Shedeur. No one is going to take Hagan off unless they win a natty, and Kordell is still in the top 4.
