Was Traveling All Day, Managed to Black Myself Out Before I Got Home....

...frankly, today went as I expected. After the 1st Q, I sped through the DVR recording at 3x speed.

I was anticipating a loss - this was NUs biggest game of the year. I knew they'd be ready. But this is the exact same damn offense as last year. The OL isn't much better and we refuse commit to running the ball. Once again, if Shedeur isn't completing passes to TH, we're cooked. Lather, rinse, repeat.

Fact: This program needs Travis and Shedeur to leave before anything can get built. And we'll see just how committed Deion Sanders is to coaching in Boulder.

Scouting the opponent: Buffs get first road test in Lincoln versus Nebraska

A look at what Nebraska brings to the table:

OT: Going to the Mines vs West Texas A&M game tonight

First time going to a Mines game. Wanted to go for a few years now. I figured since there is no college football on tonight and that fact I work in Denver West it work great for going after work. General Admission was just $15 and parking is free close to the stadium in either the parking garage or in Lot Q.

This will mean I have been to P4 (mostly in Folsom), G5 at both CSU and AFA, D1AA (a UNC game) and now a D2 stadium for games. Because the closest D3 is in Lincoln, NE likely will never make it to one of those.

NU last yr vs this yr

Trying to find ways to be optimistic prior to my trip to Lincoln. I looked at last year's stats against NU. I am starting with the assumption that this year's defense and offense are better than last year's and that the CU D is better than UTEP. Last year we gave up 222 yds rushng (5.4 per carry) of which 67 came from the QB. Against UTEP, NU had 223 yds and 4.7 per and nothing from the QB.

I believe we need to control the running game and force their QB to make plays. If our D can do better than last year and this year's UTEP team, we should be in pretty good shape. Seems doable, even on the road. Our LBs need to be on their game from kickoff to final gun.

From a Offensive perspective we gained 123 yds on the ground, 100 without QBSS yards and managed to win. It feels like we should be able to match that at least.

WE were +3 on turnovers.

I listened to a 75 minute podcast from a lincoln anyalst last night - Dr Ron i believe. He was not mincing words and spoke of his hate for CU, the players, the fans, the coaches. I know this is a common sentiment for the Husker fans this week, I know several NU Fans that have said the same to me. THeir freshman QB with a cornhusker dad will be under incredible pressure to not lose this game. We need to keep this baby
close and let QBSS and the offense takeover in Q4. If we are within 7 points to start the 4th we should have a good chance to win.
