Serious question: how is CU only favored -2.5?

Anyone with PFF have some info on their zone/man tendencies? They made some good plays on the ball but I didn't see a pass D that really freaked me out.

If Sims can hit a few stick routes early it would go a long way in formation-ing colorado to death
I don't think you can get zone/man NCAA info. I know I can't on my version of PFF.
 
While Hunter did make a really nice play on that pass to the flat in the red zone, I thought it was an awful throw and Morris telegraphed that he was going there.

I think the RPO-slant game might be there this week, I.e. the one pass that looked open to Kemp that got knocked down by the LB.

That route is a pretty high percentage throw on mesh. You gotta be a freak to pick that.

It looks like a pretty good short-yardage play design if you're facing 2-Hi from outside the RZ. X and Slot to the short side look like they have designed blocks. Get the ball out more quickly and you get the first (probably the intent). Morris just didnt execute because he got his dad's IQ. Hunter's got great instincts

Kind of doy-doy to load up numbers on the short side and leave the guy in the best position to make a play unguarded. No reason for the slot to head up on the mike - didn't look like he was going to run his route.
 
Great play by Hunter. Horrid play calling by Briles.
 
The fact that CU thinks they won the natty and Deion going everywhere that’ll have him for press is setting this up for a massive let down by them. Deion was on McAfee yesterday and didn’t even mention the game when asked by Pat. Just kept thanking him for having his back. Sounds like he’s putting people in position to say good things when their team spirals. TCU ain’t shit. They got absolutely blasted by Georgia then lost a ton of talent, yet they keep propping them up.

Just about all of us were just as hyped when Frost was hired, but then it came crashing down in a spectacularly bad fashion. If colorado goes on to have a great record in a loaded PAC-12, then I am convinced we live in a simulation where Nebraska fans are in hell.

I think our run game fucks them up. Sims will bounce back. Our defense will be stout. I think we held a lot back to use, like Fidone and Malachi packages. We have athletes. We just need to not fucking beat ourselves.

Lastly, I can’t stop thinking about when those fuckers torqued Adrian’s knee. It’d be a real shame if karma hit Shadeur.
 
- Travis Hunter talks mad shit at Cornerback, and he's good. I wonder if he will become frustrated as his impact on defense will almost become irrelevant. He gonna cover Bullock? Washington? Ha. Sims can't throw it effectively anyway.
I thought about that too. That dude is gonna have nothing to do in this game (on defense).
 
Whoever he’s covering needs to run go routes the whole game.
Brice Turner the 10.22 100m guy - out of that RS!

NBCSports also put something out that said the Buffs "have one of the highest ceilings and yet one of the lowest floors in all of college football."

I’m afraid all signs point to The Simulation™. The statistical probability of losing all these games the way we have should be practically impossible without some kind of mathematical interference from the outside.

If our roster was being coached by any of the other 132 FBS coaching staffs, I guarantee they wouldn’t have had Grant in on that drive he fumbled. Hell, our exact staff wouldn’t have had him in if they were coaching on another team. And all other staffs would have had him in if they were coaching for us. Nebraska makes coaches retarded. I’m convinced of it.
 
Both Colin cowherd and his cohost Jmac said they love Nebraska in this game. And this is the same cowherd that thinks everyone in Nebraska is a retarded hayseed. We’re winning this game.
