Mic No. 6 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Baylor kicks a FG to go up 3-0 on a (so-far) lackluster looking Utah bunch. They're playing like they're suffering jet-lag. Early in the 2nd Qtr. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic No. 9 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) It's still early but Utah just doesn't look like they're playing well enough to win the game. Baylor only marginally better but if I had to hazard a guess at this point (5 minutes left in the 2nd) I bet Baylor wins this and that won't be good for the Pac. Still 3-3. Make that 10-3 Baylor with 3 1/2 minutes left in the 1st Half. Edited September 9, 2023 by Mic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryProf No. 11 Share Posted September 9, 2023 After the first half, Colorado's MVP is Nebraska's quarterback. Three turnovers, two of which we're well inside Nebraska territory and resulted in Colorado's only 10 points. Also, Colorado's secondary isn't looking that great to me.

Mic No. 20 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Man. Utah, without Cam Rising and their TE's are a very vanilla-looking offense which is pretty bad news given how poorly Baylor is making their Defense look. Today, for Utah, it's Run, or Dun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Matt Ruhl is a good coach and will turn the program around there. This is his first year at Nebraska and he came into an empty cupboard after Scott Frost was fired. When he was here in Philly, he turned the Temple program around in 3 years, going from the dumpster into one of the best. Then he left for Baylor and turned that program around in a few years before going pro. I think Nebraska will do fine with him but he needs time to bring in his players.

I kinda agree with you on this, but this is also Colorado's first year with an entirely new team of players, coaches and everything else. They've been completely rebuilt from the ground up and while you can see they still have a ways to go, they're light-years ahead of where Neb is right now. Good luck to Matt Ruhl.

Me, I prefer the TD if it's there because I've seen too many missed or blocked FG's. That 2nd to last pass play near the end by Baylor should be the play Whittingham is angered by the most. Never let the defender get behind you, even if you have to take a 15 yard penalty for pass interference. Oh, and the pass interference that wasn't called in the end zone, that wasn't pass interference 90% of the time, imo. No one should be complaining about that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike West No. 41 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I know it's going to annoy people that Colorado won this week. They are clearly well coached. That really aren't that talented, but they are exploiting Nebraska miscues like a talented team does. That's simply very good coaching. They will get their dose of humble pie though. As some have pointed out, lethal offenses are going to light the Buffs up, and solid defenses are going to shut them down. We are going to see how good USC's defense is when they play the Buffs. We will see if Arizona and ASU actually have potent offenses. We will also see how good Oregon State's offense is. Colorado is truly going to expose coaches this year. They are going to grow-meaning they are going to reduce their mistakes and make teams beat them solely with talent (instead of exploiting Colorado mistakes). Coaches around the country have already commented on how poised Colorado's players are. They demonstrated that again, and took control of this game. Better, mind you, than Minnesota did last week. Nebraska needs to move on from QB Sims ( unfortunately). He can't finish drives, and his OC set him up well enough to do so. If Nebraska's defense maintains and progresses, HC Ruhl will upset a couple of his Big Ten West rivals (as long as they get that offense going). Colorado is capable of winning half their games if the grow each week ( yes AZ and ASU's defenses are that bad). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think colorado took control of this game. 4 turnovers handed this victory to the Buffs. Nebraska D kinda gave up, which is unfortunate. Huskers were dominating Buffs first half. But with the O giving the ball up so much, just kinda looked like the D said "Whats the point?" Hope the team doesn't quit on Rhule. I don't think they are as bad s they looked. QB play is horrendous, gotta fix that. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
