There had to be more.It seems like the suspension came because they claimed he was a threat to other people.

Wazaaah Donkey Teeth.In the spirit of brevity... Hey all buffs, whats up? **** Nebraska! Oh, and **** Bailer!
In conference, USC is the last one we haven't beaten.I know we haven’t beaten SC are there others we haven’t had a win against?
Since we joined the P12, the only team we haven't beaten besides SC is UW. I think.I know we haven’t beaten SC are there others we haven’t had a win against?
Bold prediction for this week- Tony Brown catches two long TDs due to USC's fear of Viska.
I want to see CBs play stout.I want to see Worthington get a pick six
This will be the first set of WRs that can actually test our secondary. I'm still not sold on Daniels though.I want to see CBs play stout.
I'd say Harry and Darby were WRs capable of actually testing our secondary. Outside of Harry's 3 catches against Wigley and Darby's long ones against Wigley and Fisher/Worthington, our DBs seemed up to the task.This will be the first set of WRs that can actually test our secondary.

Yeah JD Spielman is a good player. I get that Amon Ra St. Brown was a 5* kid and he's a good player, but he isn't the best receiver we've seen this year.Nebraska's WR's toasted our safeties. We were two dropped TDs from a very different game.
Don't have to worry about the threat of the QB run this Saturday though. Makes life easier on Fisher and Worthington.Nebraska's WR's toasted our safeties. We were two dropped TDs from a very different game.
Anytime you say you are cool, it pretty much guarantees you are not.Their fans are kinda douchey and not even close to the Coolness we bring to our forum.

they are still thinking we are not proven and they will prevail due to talent gap
Agreed. I've only seen him in one game, but he doesn't have the production of the other WR's we've faced.Yeah JD Spielman is a good player. I get that Amon Ra St. Brown was a 5* kid and he's a good player, but he isn't the best receiver we've seen this year.
I'm pumped to see what Miller can bring to the defense. As nik has said, one of the top three athletes on the teamAgreed. I've only seen him in one game, but he doesn't have the production of the other WR's we've faced.
Wildcard: I think Miller took over starting CB2 after that last TD given up by Wigley. He has seemed solid every time he's been in there, but he has very few snaps. I think it's safe to expect him to get caught out on something tricky. But hopefully he's able to overcome that by being a guy that makes plays when he is there instead of just being the guy who is always in the right place to make plays... but doesn't.
Abrams blitzed off the corner, which he did to start off the drive prior. Fisher was covering his guy and got beat when we didn't get to the QB. I think that was one where they just caught us blitzing. Tip of the cap and all that.I'm still trying to figure out what we were doing on that Darby bomb. We were obviously expecting a run, but Fisher was playing man on the outside defending Darby, and Chris Miller looked like he was in zone playing safety. We may just have been out of alignment.
Also - to give Wigley some credit, Harry abuses lots of corners.I'm guessing we see a lot more of Miller than Wigley this week.
While true, the coaches need to recognize an obvious mismatch much sooner and make a change. Instead, they allowed Wigley to stay on Harry until Wigley finally got beat by Darby for the TD (beat Worthington too). Wigley has experience and is a good depth player and CB3, but should not be a starter for this team.Also - to give Wigley some credit, Harry abuses lots of corners.

Fisher got burned when he was covering Darby one on one. I just think he's an average Pac 12 SafetyWhat’s up with Nick Fisher? Is he a better corner than safety? I keep waiting for Fisher to flash this season. I’m still waiting.
I'm no defensive guru but it seems like we have had to use him more with coverage help and as run control as opposed a true roving safety role. The D Scheme seems to trust the CBs on an island as opposed to having help over the top. (I could be wrong so please correct me if I am)What’s up with Nick Fisher? Is he a better corner than safety?

I think he's better at Safety where he can play man to man with TEs and RBs, rather than WRs. I just don't think he's fast or quick enough to be a CB, and I feel like he bulked up over the last few years in order to be a Safety specifically. The defensive scheme is going to ask him to play coverage vs WRs from time to time, but as we saw on Saturday, it's not a great matchup for CU, IMO.Do you think he is playing in the best place for his skillset? What would you think about him at corner opposite Abrams in some situations?
Is there enough depth at safety to move Fisher around?

Is that why it seemed ASU just straight gave up on the pass. It was like they weren’t even trying - is that because our Dbacks finally started to lock it down.Agreed. I've only seen him in one game, but he doesn't have the production of the other WR's we've faced.

The Buffs got dominated in the trenches in the first half of the Nebraska game and the DL got dominated in the first half against ASU. The second half in both games were a different story, though, and the Buffs DL and OL held their own (and even dominated at times) after schematic adjustments. UCLA front seven is very big and talented and that didn’t matter; CU dominated.
Has USC dominated anyone in any aspect of the game this year? Serious question as I haven’t really watched much of them this year. They seem like a pretty mediocre team this year, so I’m not sure why we are assuming they are just going to dominate the trenches against us, outside of what the star and recruit rankings suggest.
