again, where is mcknight?

he goes from being the leading receiver last year and the first few games this year to completely invisible. I don’t get this offense. It’s getting worse every game. I’m starting to think that hawkins was so succesful at boise because of pederson. Helfrich is a joke and it doesn’t look like hawk can win without an elite offensive coordinator

No tight ends either...it doesnt help when your

QB throws for less than 40%

Why would you doubt Texas?

They’ve done as good as OU in their games this year with arguably the same degree of difficulty. Sorry, but Washington, Cinci, and TCU are not teams that can beat top 15 teams.

by David OhNo on Oct 11, 2008 12:53 PM MDT up reply actions  

Don't get your second statement either

Muschamp might be the best D coordinator in the Big XII, and Texas is not lacking innovation on offense. Coaching is a wash, talent is a wash, these two teams were/are equals and this game is showing that.

by David OhNo on Oct 11, 2008 12:56 PM MDT up reply actions  

Muschamp is a great adjuster.

I love watching how he sees what the offense does in the first half and turns around and clamps down on it in the second. Not to mention he’s about as fiery a guy as you’ll see.

by A.J. Haefele on Oct 11, 2008 12:57 PM MDT up reply actions  

I wasn't bashing Texas

they are obviously a good team and I didn’t think OU would kill them, I thought they would win by about 10. I just think OU is better and that they have a better coaching staff. I stand by that.

by nebraskasux on Oct 11, 2008 1:00 PM MDT up reply actions  

No doubt.

But when you have the greatest in-state recruiting pipeline, Texas should be dominant every single season. 10 win seasons are nice, but they underachieve like no other.

Nervous

Selvin Young being out probably means more Andre Hall, which means more of me banging my forehead on the desk. No Scheffler means more Graham, which means more dropped passes. Playing against Jacksonville is always nice because the games are usually good, but unless our run D plays out of it’s mind, we might get bowled over by that running game.

Here's your solutions:

-Pittman likely gets young’s carries, and that’s a good thing because he should have had them in the first place.

-Jackson will get Scheffler’s passes. I don’t like Jackson too much but he’ll do.

-Real problem is Royal likely won’t be worth much in with his ankle. That means we will see much of Glenn Martinez. Real concern is how Denver’s personnel dep’t can find a better player than Martinez on the street…

by David OhNo on Oct 11, 2008 1:22 PM MDT up reply actions  

Oh god.

That means Martinez will be returning punts, too. Which means if our defense forces four punts, we’re likely to see at least one fumble.

again, where the f is d scott??

one carry? I think that was the only play he was even in the game. He has shown he is a good receiver coming out of the backfield, but him in now!

i wish we would get an honest answer about him out of the

Buffs camp…

Why do we cover the stack set with

one tight corner and a safety ten yards off? All they’re doing is running quick screens and mauling our short corners…

by David OhNo on Oct 11, 2008 1:17 PM MDT reply actions  

Because...

…they don’t know what they’re doing? Most of the time I give the benefit of the doubt to the coaches, but honestly, come on.

I don't think they would let him earn the job today

even if he plays great. They’ll just say it was garbage time and he wasn’t getting blitzed and he was just in to get experience and give cody a break

By more control

do you mean ball control? I’m pretty sure he just fumbled like Little Hawk does when he gets pressured.

How about that?

Ballenger channeling his inner-Chad Pennington on that downfield toss.

by A.J. Haefele on Oct 11, 2008 1:25 PM MDT reply actions  

Head and Bahr are not good players

I’d be more disspointed with that if they weren’t immediately returned to the bench next season with MTM and Miller returning.

by David OhNo on Oct 11, 2008 1:25 PM MDT reply actions  

thats going to be a good day when we can replace them

by Bob_Bell on Oct 11, 2008 1:27 PM MDT up reply actions  

MTM and Miller

are reasons we shouldn’t get too concerned about the future. When healthy, CU will have a great O-Line over the next few years, especially if Givens shifts inside (or flat beats out Solder, highly possible).

Add in the redshirted linebackers, and this team still has good talent, and it looks as if Hawkins is still making hay on the recruiting trail. Supposedly Burfict could be taking a visit.

by David OhNo on Oct 11, 2008 1:30 PM MDT up reply actions  

We did just get Jack Williams, too.

Who should hopefully provide a little depth soon. Anybody know what happened with Katoa?

by A.J. Haefele on Oct 11, 2008 1:31 PM MDT up reply actions  

jack harris you mean?

katoa’s still around, hopefully he gets all his academic and legal troubles behind him and comes out nasty next year

Ahh, they redshirted him?

I wondered what happened with him because of his assault in the spring. Good to know he’s still in the program then.

by A.J. Haefele on Oct 11, 2008 1:35 PM MDT up reply actions  

yeah, he was academically ineligible

I think he missed classes dealing with his legal troubles

by nebraskasux on Oct 11, 2008 1:36 PM MDT up reply actions  

OU's O-Line is once again exposed by speed.

I like Duke, but someone is going to spend a high pick on Loadholt and that same someone will be looking for their money back in two years. He’s the new Mike Williams, sooner style.

by David OhNo on Oct 11, 2008 1:27 PM MDT reply actions  

Let's hope KC

spends that money. Bradford looked a lot like Little Hawk on the past few series. Protection makes a huge, HUGE difference.

I gotta get ready for some minor league hockey scouting tonight! I’ll be checking back in here in a few days.

And yes, GO BRONCOS!

I can't get too down yet

because I’m still buying into our future here, and Dan is a winner in the homes of high schoolers. We are still fresh off a huge recruiting class and the honeymoon is still not over.

They may take a few steps back this year, but let them get healthy and get their talented redshirts on the field and we should be pleased with our Saturdays a year from now.

by David OhNo on Oct 11, 2008 1:39 PM MDT reply actions  

Exactly!

Last year was a surprise for them to make a bowl game, and their recruiting is bringing the program along in the right direction. I still think two years from now is the time for us to really raise the expectations. Next year some development and progress will be needed, but I am excited for the future. Hopefully, he wins over some strong defensive players and brings in another solid recruiting class.
