Yes, the OL is an issue, and inconsistency for CU at QB is an ongoing fact of life. Yet, playing the Beavs yesterday, the RB problem was glaring. A true OSU freshman was better than anything the Buffs have. (Albeit against a terrible Buff defense, but one could see the talent.) In an interview last summer, Coach Hagan expressed his satisfaction and pleasure with his running back “room”. Well, it hasn’t worked out.

Looking back on the season so far, CU’s opponents have had, as examples: OSU/Martinez; UCLA/Charbonnet; Minnesota/Ibrahim; and the AFA/Brad Roberts. CU has not presented anything close to these running backs featured by these other programs, and it shows.

The youngsters that played running back for CU yesterday showed a lot of heart, grit, and promise, but running back is obviously yet another issue for the new coach to address.

I meant to post this earlier, but I've got my five takeaways from CU's loss yesterday to Oregon State. If you want to brighten up your Sunday night...

Oregon having their way so far up 38-16 late in Q3. Bo Nix playing well.

Light rain coming down in Corvallis right now, going to be, as anticipated, a slippery game. Deion Smith not active tonight nor Alex Fontenot. True freshman Anthony Hankerson, Jayle Stacks and walk-on Charlie Offerdahl will receive the handoffs tonight. Charlie Offerdahl feeling better as he was wearing a no contact jersey before Cal last week.

J.T. Shrout starting at quarterback on his birthday this evening. Owen McCown not in uniform so Drew Carter will be the next man up if needed.

Score predictions? Craig and I have Colorado losing tonight. Me OSU 28 CU 23 Craig OSU 24 CU 14

Here's a transcript of Mike Sanford's press conference following Colorado's loss tonight at Oregon State.


He touched on failures to capitalize on opportunities offensively, the run defense, JT Shrout, Anthony Hankerson and more

Colorado went back to basics and hit an insurmountable wall as Oregon State rolled the Buffs, winning 42-9 in Corvallis, Ore., on Saturday night.

A breakdown on tonight’s game:

"Ucla has only had one real road game.. at Colorado.. and that doesn't really count "

Ouch!!

Wow. Solid game by Daniel’s. Almost 400 yards of individual offense. 5 tds. Does Kelly get them to a bowl year one?

We are still bowl eligible! Mo is on our side! Sko BUUUFFFFSS!

Dam! 6'7"/250 doing work for LSU. Talking about him being a Pro caliber player. Sure looks the part.

My parents are looking at possibly moving to Fountain, any suggestions from those that have some insight on the place? Thanks

Some notes on Ben Gulbranson, key players and his prediction:

Before Colorado kicks off tonight at Oregon State, where the Buffs are 23.5-point underdogs, take another look back at the breakthrough win last weekend over Cal. Our Nigel Amstock got some great photos from the victory and celebration.
