Yeah I'm not very excited over how the team played against a bad G5 team at home. What's going to happen when UO & USC drag the defense to death? What about having zero running game & have not demonstrated any ability to have any kind of efficient running game?
This reply does not bolster our impression of your self awareness.
I'm not telling others how to feel but I didn't come away from that game feeling good about how they played - dunno why that's controversial. Lucky as hell to get a W there.
Nevermind, dude. You’ve lost the plot on the lines of this conversation. It’s not worthwhile to try and reel you back.
You know who else didn't feel good about how they played? Coach Prime. It seems odd to rail against something that is being acknowledged by the guy in charge of fixing it.
This is a team that is growing into the expectations of their head coach. Chalk it up as a learning experience. This sloppy win will pay dividends next year when we have National Championship aspirations.

I don't think anyone is saying CU looked good - but they won.
I think we played better against TCU and Nebraska - who are 2 better teams.
I think CSU played the best game they've played in 5 or 6 years. I think we played our worst game of the year...and still won. But it's a rivalry game. That's what happens.
TBH I'm happy the players and coaches got scared at home, maybe they'll focus more this week for Oregon.
Regardless, I don't think a rivalry game played for the first time in 4 years, has any bearing on how they'll play against Oregon this week.
Jesus dude.
It was a classic trap game, coupled with the typical CSU mismatch in motivation. We got punched in the mouth.
We also won the ****ing game.

We will get smoked the next two weeks, win 3 or 4 conference games and go to a bowl game. Which is perfectly fine. It's still an incredible one-year turnaround from being worse than almost any FCS team.

A lot of distractions last week! Let’s hope they get more focused
Vegas has us as 21-point dogs this week. Let's see if we can sneak up on Oregon like CSU did on us.
And that's coming from Manhattan, who actually builds models/reports like this at the individual player level.
They'll never see us coming until the last second, all popping up from under the radar and ****!
Just looked this up because I was curious. Last year Buffs were 31 pt. dogs.
There's no way this team is only 10 pts. better
Have to believe there is a sympathy factor built into last years line, but not this year.
But we actually lost by 39, so maybe it was corrected for reality?
I bet you thought you were clever with this one.
Honestly, Vegas doesn't have the slightest clue how to handle CU right now, as a dog or a favorite. They were ~23.5 points off in week one, ~19 in week two (even after an 11 point swing toward CU after week one), and ~16 points off in week three.
Books knew how to handle Colorado last week. They more than recouped their Week 1 and Week 2 losses last week. The handle closed at a horrid number range for the bettor (23-24), which likely would’ve let them make a vig profit even if Colorado covered better numbers at 21 or less.
That csu kept it close and did not win meant the best scenario for the bookies (they had serious liability from sharps on csu ML tix).
Listening to some sports talk this morning, and hosts for Pac-12 Today on SiriusXM called the Buffs a "flag football" team - all skill players no lines. They think the expectation is that CU will be fighting to the end for bowl eligibility. Fine, what ever.
In the second segment the co-host (Evan Moore, I'm pretty sure) said the hit on Hunter wasn't dirty, and #11 just put his shoulder into him. Said he probably thought he was trying to dislodge the ball and got there late. Safteies don't look for the ball, just the player. "It's fine, let's move on." The other co-host said if it happened to Weaver, no one would care.
I get the sense there are several Pac12 employees that blame CU for the conference crumbling and costing them their jobs.

Dude was trying to dislodge the ball that landed in front of him?

WTF?
The guys on that station are primary former Utah players.
Shouldn't they be on the Mountain West Network, then?
Cause that makes total sense. **** them.
