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

[greybeardedchild]

They are going to be a very one dimensional offense again this year, but it isn't going to have Sean Lewis to make it work. This is setting up for a disaster and I love it.

There can't be a more obvious tell that Prime has no intention of staying in Boulder beyond '24 or '25 than his 25 and 26 recruiting.

CU desperately needs offensive linemen and they can't even offer a 2026 Colorado kid who has offers from Oklahoma, Nebraska, and KState:

As the team's governor, Camden Dempsey, said, "Everyone knows that we need to be laser focused on that Big 12 championship and on the national championship"¦ We've got all the guys in the room that we need to win that. The talent's there, motivation's there, drive is there."

Dempsey is the Colorado long snapper. LOL if he said that with a straight face.

Colorado had another one of their transfer Dawgs quit. Not really an issue as I don't think he was going to play. Guess the new HC when Sanders leaves won't have an issue getting down to the roster limit. Only using 77 scholarships, unconventional and lazy.

Selfishly, I just don't want the way Deion is building a roster to work in any way. Unlimited transfers that are eligible immediately are one of my biggest frustrations in college football right now because I don't feel it does the athlete favors like many think, and it hurts programs.

To your point, year 2 you should start to see signs of what is being preached. While a non-conference game in year 2 isn't the end all be all, Rhule can't get beat by someone doing things completely opposite of him two years in a row. They have Sanders, Hunter, and Horn Jr., but other than that they are mediocre at best. I just watched their spring game last night and their OL is so awful that we should have a field day against them.

I enjoyed your blog about the CU Spring game. We are already less than a month away from the North Dakota State @ CU opener, and while I agree with you that CU is going to create some matchup problems on the edge, that game is going to really test CU's offensive line.

NDSU, while not the dominant dynasty of the past, should have their best defense of the last 3 to 4 seasons. They return 9 starters, including 4 Preseason All-Americans.

Jordan Seaton is going to be matched up with 24 year-old Dylan Hendricks, a dude who had 7 sacks and 13 TFL for last season.

While NDSU is returning a good and experienced defense, their offense only has 3 returning starters, both tackles and Mason Miller, a very good QB.


That game is going to answer a couple of questions:

1. Can the CU offensive line protect against a good defensive front 7 that loves to generate pressure?
2. While CU's pass rush should be good, can they get effective pressure off the edge against two experienced and massive offensive tackles?

I played CU on the free trial and the first time got beat because all I wanted to do was pass the ball. 2nd time I ran it 90% of the time and won easily. Let's hope the 2nd game is like real life.

I was curious how NDSU was going to be this year. Would love for them to struggle game 1 and just be in the shitter for our game. I want them to fail miserably.

I'll take the 15 yard penalty.

Looks like they haven't fixed their penalty issues. They were the only team that had more penalty yards than rushing yards last season.

At the very least, I don't think CU will be able to keep things vanilla vs NDSU.

This would be good but also remember last year. CU could not have been flying any higher than they were after beating TCU...and yet they still were very mediocre in 1st half vs NU. If NU had even a C+ level QB, they'd have been up 17 pts going into halftime.

So frankly it doesn't matter if CU is up or down when they face us. If we're the better team it won't matter. If we are actually even in quality then it would I suppose.

But CU had a huge road win PLUS their biggest, best home crowd ever vs NU last yr and they basically laid an egg in the first half.
