Now imagine if Prime allowed this to happen against Deleware….
 
BYU is going to be a rude awakening. Defense is soft. Too many gash plays. We're in trouble there. Hoping for a bowl game, but not holding my breath. I do think the offense will have some success this season, though. Best thing I saw last night was R VII. Holy **** that girl can run...and likes it! I don't know if it's true, but I heard she ran a 4.2 40. Handler's got their hands full!
 
I need to breakdown the game "film", but I'm not optimistic about the BYU game. Our DBs are so very mid right now, we still look soft across the board, and we certainly won't be outcoaching anyone next week. I'd take the Over though.
hopefully we start to see guys elevating their game. if salter can stay consistent, we will be in a lot of games. our WRs are elite.

biggest worry on offense is whether the line can hold long enough to give salter time to stay settled in.

It looked good v Wyoming. I’m nervous for the rest of our schedule. A lot of those jump balls and throws into double coverage I fear will be picked by non-glorified low level FCS team.
 
i am sorry but 8 wins is just a wishful thinking at this point. What do you see on the defensive side makes you think Colorado can stop teams like TCU/ISU/ASU?

The best case scenario for us is to beat BYU/WVU/KSU/UA to get 6-6. And I would give it 20-30% chance. This is how much disappointed I am in our defense.
 
I’ve never seen so much hate for a guy who is an 84% kicker.
I know your thoughts on Mata. But from what I have seen since Prime has been here, and learned quickly that Mata has a very niche (albeit “box of chocolates) range, we actually make a lot of decisions based on how far he can kick - either going for it on 4th and unmanageable, or punting at what should be a decent kicker’s range. And that’s unfortunate.

Last year, Travis and Colton Hood would lock up the WR at the line of scrimmage. They were able to recover quickly if the WR had them by a step. Obviously, CP has no trust with the DB'S that are here. They are playing off the line of scrimmage by 10+ yards, giving up 7+ yards on quick pass plays without pressure. Either they trust the DB'S to rub the WR's at the line of scrimmage or go zone.
 
I am sadly going to stand by Medford cause a really accurate low angle kicker that cannot kick over 40 yards which keeps the stronger kicker not getting reps might cost a game when a long kick is needed and Buck is not ready
Remember that time earlier in the game (when we were still up) and within Buchanan’s range and we could have given him a shot, but instead we punted?

9 wins would have been laughable after week 4 last year.

I don't expect the trajectory to be exactly mirrored. I'm just trying to remind myself that not only is it a team of 18-23 year olds, it's a team with a ton of new faces trying to find their leaders and identity. We should expect some real obvious improvements and some bumps in the road.

I think this team could easily finish anywhere between 5-7 and 9-3, and not just based on tossup games, but on how well they develop as a team.

Last year, the team steadily improved every week after the Nebraska game, with the exception of a tough loss to K-State, and one big letdown against Kansas.

What are you on about? Colton barely played until late in the season, and even then wasn't one of the outside CBs. Do you mean DJ and Trav?
 
Salter threw a nice touch pass to Sincere on the run tonight

CFB is full of inaccurate QBs

Our paradigm was impacted by the most accurate QB in CU history the last two seasons.
Totally thought he was going to float that 5 yards over his head. Then he did it few more times.

I think winning in SLC isn't out of the question either-Utah put up a clunker in Laramie and then got exposed by a backup QB.

These next four are interesting-BYU, @TCU, ISU, and @Utah. Can this team split that stretch? If we're 4-4 after Utah I think we're bowling.
