When will we look like a well coached team?

PLus 2 TO's, 2 turnover on downs in our favor, good OL play, outstanding DL play and outstanding defense after the first drive so how does TT have the ball and 2 miuntes to tie the score and force OT? I love Livingston, I actually dont mind Shurmer but the lack of discipline has to stop. QBSS is a primary problem IMO as i think he probably does more than a little ad libbing which also has to stop. This game should not have been close but we threw away too many opportunities to count and we let TT hang around. THat will kill us against great competition.

HCDS needs to clean this up ASAP.

Shedeur Sanders Big 12 Offensive POW, Kansas game time set

Apologies for the delay. Getting all my ducks in a row after quite a wild road trip back from Lubbock. Notable events from today:

Login to view embedded media
Sanders continued his strong season in CU's 41-27 win at Texas Tech, completing 30 of his 43 passes for 291 yards and three touchdowns with a rushing score. The Buffs' signal caller accounted for four touchdowns without an interception while tying the program record of 20 consecutive games with a passing touchdown. Sanders ranks in the top three nationally in completions (250), completion percentage (72.9%) and passing touchdowns (24) while ranking in the top 10 in passing yards (2,882) this season.

The Colorado football game at Kansas on Nov. 23 will kickoff at 2:30 p.m. CT (local) and 1:30 p.m. MT and be televised nationally by FOX.

This is the final regular season game that will be selected for TV, as the season finale vs. Oklahoma State on Friday, Nov. 29, will be on ABC (10 a.m. MT kickoff). This is the ninth game out of 12 selected for network television and all 12 on the flagship ESPN or network television, both program records by at least three games.

My Saturday Games wishlist

Feel good about us winning a close game. Others of these not so much. Some of this is folly but why not dream.

CU over Tech
Ole Miss over UGA
GT over Miami
Indiana over UM - go into OSU unbeaten
VaTech over Clemson
FSU over ND - I can dream
LSU over Bama
UW over PSU
North Texas over Army
Mizzou over OU

Who is on everyone’s wish list today

Game thread: Colorado vs Texas Tech

Home stretch starts for CU this afternoon when it takes on Texas Tech down in Lubbock. Big game for both teams, CU trying to stay tied for second with one loss or even move to solo second as Iowa State kicks off a tough one against Kansas this afternoon.

Buffs will also be interested in BYU-Utah later tonight. West Virginia beat Cincinnati in a Big 12 eliminator this morning (hurts the Buffs in some SOS tiebreakers). Of course, none of that matters with a win.

DT Shane Cokes is OUT, as is DE Dayon Hayes. Micah Welch and Jaylen Wester also not playing today. Everyone else should be good to go.
