David's Colorado VS Georgia Quick Hits

I don’t know what it is, but nothing is like-able. Even the mid-field logo. Even the bullshit wins. Just a personal opinion. 13 guys on the field?? AHHHHH

I think you’ll change your mind about that INT on second viewing. I blamed him when I saw the play in real time, but the replay showed otherwise. It was a very bad pass that probably would’ve been picked whether he tipped it or not, and Deehan barely got a hand on it.

Some other thoughts:
I was very happy with Lockridge today. His stats aren’t great, but he did much better blocking, and he ran HARD. I hope we’re seeing the light go on, like we did with Hugh Charles.

I don’t care what their record is- this is a good Georgia team. They were obviously different when Green was a factor. I can’t imagine them going 1-3 if he had been available all year. Further, we won’t face a more athletic defense until Nebraska, or a receiver even close to as talented except for maybe Broyles.

I feel like we’ve seen Hansen take more and more control over this offense from week to week. It’s very encouraging. I just wish his passing would improve as much. I really think we have to start rolling him out of the pocket. He has shown no interest in sitting in the pocket, our offensive line isn’t particularly good at setting a pocket, and Hansen isn’t very good at going through his progressions. Why not use your athletic line to roll out, get Hansen on the move, and only force him to read half the field? Sadly, I fear our coaches aren’t creative enough.

With that in mind, we’ve got to get the passing game going. We simply have too many talented receivers for our leading pass catcher to be Stewart with 3, and our only TD to come from Matt Bahr.

Our defensive line is not powerful enough to collapse the pocket with 3 guys. Our linebackers are outstanding at masking that, but we get exposed while rushing 3 (that’s not really a complaint on the players. Most teams would. We should just do it much much less. I’ll also go back to my “Sione Tau to DT” argument. All he needs to do is be a big fat guy who can control a double team).

Special teams are a big problem. I’m frustrated because I don’t really understand scheming for punt and kick coverage, but whatever it is- we aren’t doing it. The fact that Jimmy Smith is even on the coverage team, let alone making numerous TD saving plays, shows the gaping deficiencies. Doug Rippy for one, seems to do a whole lot of nothing.

Thanks for all the money, Georgia fans. Hope you found Boulder to be enjoyable.

1. Texas should not be in the Top 25. Maybe Texas hangs on to a spot in the polls based on an eight-point loss to a top-10 team. But any voter who leaves the Longhorns on their ballot must not have watched Saturday’s game or last week’s debacle against UCLA. And it won’t get better for awhile; the Longhorns look like they’re on their way to a three-game losing streak with a game at Nebraska in two weeks. Texas has been the portrait of consistency under Mack Brown, but his streak of nine consecutive 10-win seasons is in major jeopardy with a punchless, directionless offense and a defense long on talent and short on production. It’ll be a long bye week for Texas, and the Longhorns are a team playing very mediocre football right now. They’ll likely see their streak of 162 consecutive weeks in the polls — a streak that dates back to the 2000 season — come to an end later this afternoon. (Ed. note: Since the loss came on a neutral field and not at home, I’ll be sliding the Longhorns up from No. 20 to No. 17 on my ballot.)

His thesis is that Texas should not be in the top 25. He ends the paragraph by pointing out that he himself puts Texas at 20, which completely refutes the entire point of his statement.

You suck, David Ubben

Before the game there were CU greats from the 90 team wondering around and it really added to the atmosphere. EB looked like he was doing a little lobbying for a job next year. Alfred was being Alfred. CJ was wearing a very silly back pack and some of those dudes have gotten fat.

I think Jalil is getting little too much criticism. He had a great game against an amazing payer. Go back and look at "the catch" by Green and you’ll see Green had his hands all over Jalil who was in good position before the push off. I’ll take Brown over 80% of the corners in NCAA and he’s only going to get better.

Way to stay disciplined Buffs, only three penalties for 21 yards.
235 yards rushing with a big chunk coming from Hansen. Tyler’s ability to run really caught UGA off guard.

Come on special teams. Those huge chunks of yardage will lose a game this year.
Hansen looked spectacular. One bad throw yes but very accurate for most of the night. Great pass hitting Jefferson in stride on the play action. We need to run that bootleg option more.

BJ Beatty had a great game and a terrific play. Good call by Collins at the end of the game on the blitz.

I was against rushing the field before the game but with the 1990 team in attendance, a night game, a blackout game, putting up with possibly the most obnoxious fan base for an entire weekend, and the fact that these students have had little to get excited about I’ll let it slide. I think sometimes we take ourselves a little too seriously and forget that these are kids, let them enjoy their college experience. Some of us went to CU during the glory days and others haven’t been as lucky.
