And so it begins...(tracking Coach Prime decommits/transfers)

I want to laugh over all these transfers. But I remember laughing at them last year and thinking we would have no problem beating them.

And then reality hit. I understand it was the Jeff Sims factor. But until we beat these clowns, I’m holding my criticism.
Probably the mature approach...but....
Also, we'll have a TR FR quarterback making his 2nd ever start. Tons of pressure. He'll know the weight of that game. Also I'm sure the CU pricks will do something pre-game to get us back for Rhule's "disrespect" last year. They'll probably try to start a pre-game brawl at midfield to try to rattle us.

All of that noise really only hurts us. It helps them bc that's the type of environment they thrive in. It's not ideal for the team starting an 18 yr old QB.

My point is that I think NU fans are mistakenly thinking that we're turning a brand new page from the 31 turnovers we had w Sims and Haarberg. But Raiola is going to make more than his share of mistakes, even as polished & pedigreed as he is. That could be a problem in the CU game bc their offense is good enough to score 30 on us even at Memorial Stadium if we give them 2 big turnovers (which we likely will).

Serious Q, does CU just pull the plug on football after prime "medically retires" at Thanksgiving? What a shithole
Sanders took over a bad roster, but when he "medically retires" at the end of the season, there won't be a roster. I read that they've lost 13 players in the last 2 days.

Colorado has 2 scholarship players on the team that were on the 2022 team. They've had a lot of players leave.

I feel like the more conservative a game plan the better vs CU. Rely on a stingy defense to make them one dimensional. Pound the ball at them over and over until you get some runs to start leaking through in the second half. Hit on some play action. Have to be really patient, which we weren't able to do last year because we turn it over 3 times and miss an FG in the first half.

I also would mind seeing some "wildcat" with Haarberg too. I know it's cliché, but we really should be using him like Taysom Hill.

That'll be the game plan the majority of the Rhule era. It's effective football, take the lead then grind out drives until the game is over, simple, brutal and effective.
