The Running Game - or lack thereof

I mind. Why is it you don't?
And effective, just what are you seeing that I am not, especially on last CU offensive drive of the game?
Could have run before two minute warning with same or better results than the five yard pass play and neither of the longer pass plays looked to be desitned to be as effective as needed. Both were incomplete, with the second longer play down sideline a really dumb and bound to be ineffective call. Of course none of the plays would have been needed if push off by KSU receiver had been called the pass interference as it was on their last TD, but I digress.

It was better when Benson and Mayers were on the right side,Brown in not getting it done and even Seaton is missing his cut off blocks.. They need to practice running the ball and it appears they did not do this much before the KSU game. Lack of coaching, practice and preparation might be in play as well.

Sure hope plays are being practiced cut off blocks are made in practice and games and we see minimum of 25 carries by CU backs each game going forward.

Not to speak for Ken but 34/40 for 388 yards and 3 TDs does not say “effective” to you?
 
Passing game on last drive and on third down was anything but safe and effective.
Short throws were too short and they didn't move team down the field, one false start by Houston made matters worse, and 0-2 on throws that were too long, one about 20 yards down field and the last even further hugging the sideline.. with little chance of success of being effective on final drive, not to mention 4-11 on third down conversions and six sacks and 70 something lost yards on those sacks and the interception.

So do you and Ken believe in effective losses? And, are you happy with the L? Content losers stay losers. CU lost and should have won. Also where was the film work? Not much evidence it was undertaken and properly applied. CU is in general good at zone pass defense, and very good in man when it is the appropriate defense, but they need to mix things up and it is not a good idea to have almost "no" eyes on QB and "no" communication like on the 4th and 3 from the seven yard line that resulted in KSU's first touchdown, where CU played man and even Bentley didn't have eyes on QB and #8 should have seen the run and somehow didn't. A quiet defense is a dumb defense.
