Yep! This team lacks starters right now on defense.

Buffs got up 28-3 about 2 minutes into the third quarter, and the defense took their boot off of the Cowboys' neck for some reason. The student got fairly empty, too.
Ralphie VII looked great. I have a theory that the Athletic Department changed from grass to turf to avoid tempting Ralphie VI to stop and graze.

For the first time this season, the offense was called with a game plan that allows KSalt to be great. Miraculously, the offense played very well.Salter:
304 yards on 64% for 3 TDs/0 INTs
86 yards on 11 carries for 1 TD
This team can still win 7 games.
I think we’ll be favored in the final four games.
Also, this game is at home and not a Bowl game where our team was out partying beforehand.
Hopefully Prime can use that loss to help motivate for this one.
Just got home and had a chance to go through this thread. Didn't look in last night, late game and my data in the stadium sucked.
A few things. The new Ralphie is great, runs with more energy and enthusiasm that the last one ever did. First run went past midfield, second run she went all the way around the Buff logo getting to the 37 or 38 yard line (the far, not the near like the last one.)
Shouldn't read too much into the result. Wyoming is an average at best MWC team that we should beat up. Good to have them on the schedule right now though.
Hate to have lost to Houston but the week off looks to have done the job getting Salter back to playing the way he should instead of how he was trying to. When he is a threat to run the ball it forces the defense to account for him and creates gaps that he can throw into.
Final score should not have been as close as it was. CU needs to learn to finish. The 3rd quarter TD was due to blown assignments. The 4th quarter TD they let Wyoming drive the field including converting two 3rd downs for 1st and another 3rd for the TD. They had opportunities to get off the field and didn't.
Same on offense, should have dominated but didn't.
A couple people in the thread said that CU outcoached Wyoming, nope, just won based on far better talent.
Also somebody posted that the altitude was getting to Wyoming. Laramie is at about 7200 feet
Students were great. Stayed well into the 3rd but emptied by the 4th. Parents weekend is always interesting and the late game changed the dynamic. Saw some parents with their kids reliving their college days. A couple of different parents above me were drunk enough that I worried about them hurting themselves getting up and down. Also the woman who stopped at the allbuffs tailgate and sucked down half a bottle of Hornitos straight from the bottle, she was less than stable walking away.

More importantly, how was the parking pass?
Actually meant to mention that, much appreciated. I had to stop by the bookstore on the way to the tailgate, convienient location saved me a bunch of walking. With the late game also got me home a lot earlier.
Or, OTOH, if Buchanan hits a 55 yarder everyone will clamor for a change and Prime is loyal to Mata for some reason. I assume because he was Prime’s guy from Jackson State.
Oh, and Buchanan put a kickoff through the uprights. Of course there’s a big difference between kickoffs and field goals. But….
I'm not near as worried about Salter as I am the defense.
Mixing in healthy doses of rpo wouldn't hurt in that regard, but damnit he's gotta read it.
This would be a much better defense if we went Zone. Much better.
I'm not sure anybody was kept in check in that UU/Wyo game. Wyoming MIGHT win 6 games in a REALLY sh!tty conference.
Utah is Top 4 in the conference this year. Wyoming is much different team playing in Laramie than on the road. We are still a complete anomaly.
Beat BYU and we've got something. Lose and I don't think we make a bowl.
Gee...Wild what happens when you have more voices assisting the game calls.
He read it correctly one time all night and it led to an easy 35 yd TD run. Go figure.
Say it with me. Week. To. Week. Conference.
Lose to BYU and they can easily beat TCU and ISU the following two weeks. Beat BYU and they can easily lose to TCU and ISU.
Honestly, when the opposing QB isn't a major run threat, I'm actually not overly concerned about the defense. Take out the 50 yard gasher to Wyoming's RB in the second half and they had 115 yards rushing on 40 carries (2.8 ypc). As I said the other day, they have to get better at not allowing those chunk plays, but their run defense against RBs the past 3 games has mostly been pretty good. Hell, even if you include the 50 yard run it was 165 yards on 41 carries for 4 ypc, which in college football, isn't terrible.
If he would've read it correctly, he would've had a hell of alot more than 86. Think that was the number.
I dont have any confidence in this defense stopping an offense who has a QB with halfway decent legs.
And our offense isn't explosive enough to win a shootout.
How do you trust this secondary against good to elite QB? Just so you know, becht, josh hoover and sam leavitt are all NFL caliber QB. I would be shocked if we are within 1 score when we play against their teams.
Heck, we are even one TD underdog against BYU, who is starting a freshman QB, at home. This is a depressing season.

what teams do they qb for?
LOL, for some reason I thought we play Baylor instead of KSU.
I would much rather play KSU

Has anybody found a place to watch the CU-WY game on demand? For some reason, Hulu didn't record it despite being a national ESPN telecast and the fact I have it set up that they should record all CU games.
Pretty frustrated right now. I didn't see much of the game as I was in Flagstaff for Parents Weekend.

Do you have Fubo?

Here’s what I’m going with.
Oklahoma’s 2021 season (the year of the Rattler–Williams controversy)
- Record: The Sooners finished 11–2 overall.
