We are going to get creamed by Colorado.

Should have used it against Minnesota but  :dunno why they didn't?

We ran the ball 37 times for 4.9 ypc for Minnesota. That was not the issue. Minnesota is a tougher defense to run vs than Colorado.

How much will we run if we get in a hole early?  They're explosive, and Sims could throw it to anyone on the field at any moment.

Win the toss. Take the ball. Don't give it up the entire game.

It's not like we we had a comfortable lead at any point vs Minnesota and they stuck with it. Colorado has a good OC and some skill players but TCU is not a school that recruits well and just lost players from every level of their defense to the draft.

They will hang 40 on us easily.

Comfortable lead?  I'm worried about bing down 17 to CU fast.  How are we going to stop them?  How are we going to come back when we can't pass reliably?

Matt gave us clues to the Minny game we may have ignored.  Grant is fumbling.  The Offense has Fall practice procedural issues.  We saw those exact things at Minnesota.

And he has also said "It's not how we start the season but can we get better each week."   

This last one I see as a hedge.   Lastly, we have a veteran team that has only seen close-loss failures.  Can we recover mentally?

I think CU handles us next Saturday as much as I hate typing this out.

Recruits well? We are top 25 every year. How about development lol

The point being that it's not like we ran vs Minnesota because we were milking it. We ran because they want to run the ball.

Wow you really missed the point. Read over and try this again when you understand.

Well you’re talking the ability to recruit and I’m saying the ability to develop can cancel out stars in recruiting. Smart Alec

Sonny Dykes was there at TCU for one off-season before last year and inherited a lot of draft level talents that are gone now. TCU is not an elite recruiter that has players to replace them with in one year. It's more a question of if their defense was a fluke last year or not. Dykes is a good offensive coach but even their offense took a hit this year with a downgrade at QB and losing 2 WRs and a HB and a G to the draft.

You don't even sound crazy at this point.

I wonder what coach Ruhle will think of us awesome nebraska fans then?

Do you really think a championship contending roster is one deep at each position? And morris was the starter and got hurt to start the year! They might not be the team they were last year but they definitely are more put together than us and Minnesota!

All I know is that if we try to pass more than 15 times (unless absolutely necessary) I will commit sudoku.

It's a Nebraska message board. You people act like we should be in active hate against our team 24/7.

If being a Nebraska fan isn't good enough for you, Colorado could use some help in their cheering section.

To be fair though, colorado did win there first game Nebraska didnt.  Like they havent won there first dam game in like 4 years.
