We needed to run the ball we didnt we did the wore out prem pass that they new wss Coming completely predictable

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.

A successful run game opens all sorts of opportunities. If you can't win the battle up front, no amount of scheming is going to help.

What I think is there should be a third choice here... get someone in there that can snap the ball. Everything is out of kilter if the snap is not proper. The whole play's timing is off.

If the running game does not improve, there is evidence that the offensive line is not getting their job done.

We’d need a complete offensive effort or Martinez is reading all the newspaper About how good he is

South Alabama had 44 carries for 83 yards. They did NOT "run it down our throats"--but I digress. WE need to be able to run the ball in order to stay out of 2nd and 3rd and long situations.

When Maurice Washington entered the game things picked up. JD was invisible on offense. AM must present a passing threat for the run to succeed.

Because we have a qb and talent at receivers and tight ends to make it work.

Feel like Noa has a WR spot locked, just seems like one safety spot, Center and maybe a WR spot are up in the air (at most)

Will be shocked if Kade Warner is still a starting WR after all the talent we’ve added in the offseason to that position.

it was terrible
ReplyEveryone 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.
ReplyEntire team looked flat in the 4th quarter.
ReplyCU 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.
ReplyBecause we were running it when it clearly wasn’t working
ReplySome 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
ReplyFrost was calling the plays like he was trying not to lose rather than playing to win. Colorado Coach took Frost to school.
ReplySecond half adjustments by Colorado confused the entire team and coaching staff. Felt like they went conservative just to hold on and escape.
ReplySeems 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
