Kansas has looked awful up to this drive
Colorado may have squandered its best opportunity.
Looks like its time for a Ballenger series, Hawkins weak third down pass from last drive being batted down appears to be a momentum killer.
same old tipped ball from Hawkins...
CU defense needs to stop the running game no more of that sh*t
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
Could use a big one from JFLY here
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
hey nbsux
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
wow our offense is frustrating
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
Stop throwing to Crawford please
trying passing to someone with real ability.
they continue to not play JFLY
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
Then they will continue to struggle to score
Sumler, Crawford, Moyd… these guys will not be factors in the next great Colorado team. We should be playing the guys that will.
couldnt agree more...would
rather struggle with those guys instead of the guys who wont be a factor
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
its a screen pass get rid of the ball
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
its time for ballenger...need the spark right now
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
Big 3rd down here if we can get the stop
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
3 man rush sucks...we keep doing it
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
I like three man hybrid fronts
but we don’t have the personnel quite yet to succeed with it. Land Kasa, land Nuchols, and especially Graham (next week big visit) and we can give teams interesting looks with blitzes, odd rushes, etc.
Major will be a big plus here too.
still like them to flex Brad Jones up more
he can do that hybrid
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
Yeah he can
I think he’s a little limted athletically, as he struggles in space some.
He’s the best hybrid we have right now, and his play is quite admirable.
defense is looking good
hopefully this won’t be another one of those games where they do their job but the offense can’t get anything done
it so disheartening...the defense plays pretty well
but the offense has little hope…especially if Cody keeps his head in his a$$
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
yeah, thats how it's been lately
it seems like the d finally gets a little frustrated after completely carrying the team and then they give up a big stupid play in the 3rd or 4th
by nebraskasux on Oct 11, 2008 11:34 AM MDT up reply actions
i cant believe they stopped them
now only if CU could THROW the ball

Cody is seeing f*ing ghosts...
changing plays, throwing bad passes…he is out of it right now as a player
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
Big play here
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
I am glad we got the first down there but
is that not a situation for Scott…a bigger back?
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
yep
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
that was nice
but why not bring in d scott to get those short yards? like that 3 and 2 a while ago where stewart got stuffed on a short run
was that a completion

yes
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
the good thing about this game right now
is the Buffs have played pretty bad and we are only down two
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
The buffs IMO
have played one outstanding qtr all year, the 1st against WVU

Nice run speedy!
Protect that ball giving me a heart attack. 15 yard rush
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
I guess I'll just have to accept
that I’ll be pissed off every game because scott doesn’t get more carries. I just keep waiting for that 25 carry game, I think I’ll be waiting a while
me too. I have the same pain
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
stewart again. 11 yards...keep pounding it straight ahead boy
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
Sumler sucks
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
hit the hole like you mean it sumler
this break is good because now we can get speedy back in there
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
no field goal please
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
dammit cody
its time coach hawk
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
double f'ing coverage
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
yeah
he wasn’t doing stuff like that last year, trying to force it into receivers that aren’t open

second turnover in Kansas territory
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/

it cant get much worse
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
Still it is 7 - 9
breath in breath out
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
Problem number two on that play:
Crawford could not get open, and the defender just ran past him for the ball. We are suffering from a talent deficiency. Not necessarily on the roster, but certainly on the field.
yeah
while everybody knows my feelings on smith as a returner I can’t figure out for the life of me why he isn’t on the field more as WR
by nebraskasux on Oct 11, 2008 11:46 AM MDT up reply actions
For the sake of recruiting
you have to play Smith. How can you tell McNeal or Carroll you need them when they see that you don’t play your most talented players?
how are we ever going to get a receiver if we keep playing this kind of offense
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
At least we do have QBs
I’m waiting anxiously for your Evans interview to share my thoughts on him, but this article seems to think he’s very much a sleeper QB.
No idea why JFLY isnt playing
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
Is CU calling timeouts?
So cody can turn it over again
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
so frustrating
somethings wrong, Trying to conquer these fears i thought were gone. And it's been so long, I'm dying to live in a world i don't belong

5/13 38 yards, 1 Td, 2 INT and a truly heroic effort to turn a screen pass into a safety.
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
its matty b time
please just one time please
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
3rd game in a row
where we should of or at least easily could of been ahead at the the half if it wasn’t for a completely useless offense
Another pass intended for a covered Crawford...
“covered” probably is no longer a necessary adjective. It should just be assumed by now.
See you guys in the second half
The Ralphie Report - Shoulder to Shoulder...All Colorado Buffaloes on SBNation - http://www.ralphiereport.com/
I put up a second half thread
just in case in the 4th quarter the buffs are still in it..dont want it to get too slow
