Utah is just as bad. Toilet boil two days after thanksgiving gonna be fun.
I will be pissed if we lose that game.
I like Bobo and I think he's played well. Fields and Ross have disappointed most of the year. The potential is there for next year's group to perform much better.

Adkins? Is'nt he a seventh year senior?
Bisharat was recruited as the heir apparent, but I don't see that happening.

They've all had their moments but I think they've all disappointed. Too inconsistent. I'll remember them for the good moments, though.
Um, CU is in Boulder. I just thought you should know.
Montez is a Soph, starting behind an iffy line that hasn't been the same guys for consecutive weeks all year. He has one running back and rarely gets to have his best receivers on the field at the same time.
I'm 100% behind him and thankfully my position will prevail for the next two years barring something unexpected. I don't care about the wishes of internet posters, many of whom couldn't make their high school team.

Right and there’s 5280 feet in a mile. I think (s)he’s unfamiliar with Colorado.
I feel like we can and should beat Utah, but it is going to take some good coaching in the Bye Week. What will piss me off is if we are sharp as hell and pound Utah after a bye week, knowing the schedule pretty much sucked not having a bye earlier in the year.
Agreed. Think CU is better than Utah, but have no idea what CU team will show up. MM is good at keeping this team motivated, so don't think that will be a problem. However, I think we see tons of mistakes from both sides. Hopefully the seniors put it all out on the line
I was at the game. Stadium announcer announced it as a first. I think one of the down markers was showing first. We all thought it was a first.

Confused by the facts
Ah yes he's a senior. My bad.
Prob wouldn’t have won, but winning by only 7 would hurt the condoms.
Wow. It was clearly short on tv. I am not sure if the refs told the down markers it was first and changed it, or the announcer really messed up. It's minuscule to the game, but something was up there.
It very likely kept Colorado from covering.
Royal ****up, I guess. Typical for the Pac 12.

Man... I sure thought he made a first down on the previous play.. I was shocked then they started run in off the field. Looking forward to seeing the replay
We played a team that was much more talented than we are.
To win we had to have better coaching and better execution, we got neither.
Montez missed a bunch of open throws in the first half, missed some leadership opportunities in the second half.
The OL got dominated (as usual) when it mattered.
Fields had his usual at least one head scratcher play that cost us a TD.
Wigley had good coverage but failed to make the play on multiple passes (credit though he got better as the game went on.)
We still miss too many tackles
Much worse though was the coaching. Lindgren was terrible. He we don't have the talent to beat teams when they know what is coming, for much of the game we might as well have held up a sign for USC.
Every time we get a play for over 10 yards the following 1st down play is a run between the tackles, that almost always get stuffed leaving us in second and long. If he tried a play action the defense would fall over in shock on it.
Long out pass after long out pass. The pick 6 at the end of the first half I put completely on Lindgren. USC was ready to jump it at the snap. Went back and looked, if they had run and out and up it would have scored. SC wasn't even thinking about the route going downfield.
Ignore the middle of the field. Again JMac had single coverage coming out of the slot, sometimes by a LB. No, we are going to throw everything outside the hashes.
etc. etc.
I like Mac as our head coach, think he is a good man and a good coach. He also is a guy who needs to learn how to cut loose assistants who aren't getting it done, and he has some who haven't been getting it done at a level that lets us have a chance to consistently win.
By the way I am not down on Montez like many here. He does need though to bust his butt this off season and fix some parts of his game. A better QB coach would help. Supposedly Lindgren is some kind of QB guru but I haven't seen it. Sefo was Sefo for four years, what have we seen that says he can do great things with QB talent?

Hard to tell who’s better based on performance. Utah lost by 1 pt at USC. ASU rolled Utah at home. The outcome really does depend on who shows up, as well as who makes the most mistakes (I think you can actually show up but still make mistakes, at least turnovers). Utah should have the advantage being at home, but there’s nothing definite about that.
My thinking is that if Utah gives an all-out effort at Washington, which will not affect their getting drubbed, they may be in poorer physical and mental shape facing the Buffs. If they (unofficially) concede and fold early vs UDub, they may be in better shape to revive for us. Just rambling, the first paragraph is my point.

Really good QB coaching for Montez could mean the world for him. He has many things that I would like to see developed, such as Play Action (really selling it), Back Shoulder Throws, Fades, Pump Fakes, and most of the touch throws that he just does not yet use. He is operating at 50% capacity of what a QB should. He was probably not that well coached in High School. I also would prefer to have the QB Coach not be the Offensive Coordinator. Seems like maybe there is not enough time to fully commit to both of those tasks. Putting together a game plan takes time, and working every minute with a QB takes a lot of time, so please split those up with different guys. The OC could coach TE's or WR's, but not the QB. Also would like to have the QB Coach on the field with the QB's going through live discussions and coaching moments. Talking on the Bat Phone is not enough.
