Everyone knows when in Boulder in the 4th quarter offensive possession is vital. Most all team's defenses wear down there if the offense can not run some clock. Our D wore out - plain and simple.

CU made adjustments - went to a 3 man front and widened the ILBs to counter our success on the edge. We did not. No interior run game with 1 less man.. No vertical game. Our O ran our D in the ground.

Because we were running it when it clearly wasn’t working

Some of the play calling was very questionable inn the second half of the game. Why did they not use their big tight ends more? I mean Austin Allen is 6 '8" tall so why isn't here using his available

Weapons he has? It all seems a little vanilla and limited!

Frost was calling the plays like he was trying not to lose rather than playing to win. Colorado Coach took Frost to school.

Second half adjustments by Colorado confused the entire team and coaching staff. Felt like they went conservative just to hold on and escape.

Seems like we went into a shell - esp after Washington's long run off of the sideline flair pass. The next time we had the ball we did the exact play only to the other side. could've been a pick 6

Not, "they had to". Just if they couldn't execute the plays called, why could they execute the other ones? The offense got over confident and let it slide, with an eye on the score board.

Because know the Huskers have a true chance to win now that Utah doesn't have they're coach.

Yes, especially when you combine the upheaval this causes with a few of their opt outs and departures. It's one of the reasons bowl games just aren't the same anymore. The record might say we're playing the 15th ranked team, but in reality, we're playing what's left of it. Glorified scrimmage gm!

I would say it gives Nebraska a BETTER chance for a bowl win… I wouldn’t go so far as to say that it gives Nebraska a GOOD chance for a bowl win. 🙄

The Utes could have Ernest P. Worrell coaching them and they'd still throttle us.

If our D can’t stop the run Barney Fife could be Utah’ coach and they will win.

His replacement has been around the program since he played there under Whittingham. The transition will be smooth.

I think the only altered mindset might be the Utes will be angry and looking to show Whittingham they are as good without him as they were under him
