The Good, Bad and Ugly of The csu Game

[Buffenuf]

This needs to get fixed, asap.

Have you emailed Leavitt? I'm sure he hasn't noticed and would appreciate your input.

You gonna complain next week, too, when the "D" will be so plain vanilla it will make you think back to JR High FB?

Not sure why Leavitt gets the free pass for the preparedness. .

Win? Only yielded 10 points after the 1st qtr. despite playing a pretty straight-up "D"? Leavitt didn't personally miss a single tackle?

Pre-conference "preparedness" means winning with your base defenses, adjusting to what is being run against you.

Why give conference foes the heads-up on anything, if you can prevail straight up? Recall Leavitt , too, is adjusting to a new defense and a new position. He hasn't coordinated a D1 defense in several years and college offenses have really evolved since the last time he ran a college "D".

Looking at the schedule you are right, although appreciate i was being flippant.

Speaking for AllBuffs as a whole, amirite?

I get that and I am a huge fan of Leavitt, I was responding to a comment that he was the only coach who gets a pass for the slow starts we have gotten off to. The level of defense and the in-game adjustments are off the charts compared to the past few seasons. I can't wait for what the defense will look like as Leavitt adjust to the college game again and the players adjust fully to his system. I just think the whole team, defense included, has started flat the first three games and Leavitt doesn't get a pass from that.

Also not sure I'm going to buy the "hide the exotic looks for conference play". We barely beat CSU and we lost to Hawaii. I hope we were throwing the whole playbook at both of them.

Considering this is a new defense for the players, the playbook is pretty small, but hopefully growing each week.

Naaaah ...... ya think?

I may comment about various things next week. I may not.

The big question is - what exactly is your agenda?
