Their lines are awful and Oregon is going to run roughshod on them. They can be at the center of the cfb universe for now but implosion is coming. What's crazy is if they didn't draw all the attention to themselves people would still be talking about their turnaround but wouldn't be waiting to see them get demolished. 6-6 is going to be a disappointment when it should be an accomplishment if they can even get to that. Their schedule is brutal.
Just because they’re getting attention worthy of a great team nobody is confused that they are flawed at almost every position group. People around here think wins and losses will define their season but this is one big “come to Colorado” advertisement. Prime even spoke about needing more talent all yesterday.
I mean one team is winning winnable games and one team losing them. At the end of the day neither program is going to be defined on year 1 but what they’re doing is keeping the interest high which will highlight them in a higher caliber recruit. I think 90 percent of people outside of their fan base see the schedule and flaws on the roster and see it’s about to get steep but that doesn’t change the fact they’re showing competence in winning situations
But I hear you and I think this fan base has gotten obsessed with weird narratives on failure and drinking the kool aid. Niu was a band aid a La tech isn’t any good so at least we have 2 weeks of decency upcoming. Rhule and co still need to figure a lot out.
Dude? CyHawk?
Definitely agree with the OT take. The punt in the fourth quarter actually worked out, yet for some reason they changed to prevent defense after vs staying with what worked most of the game and they still gave up a 40 some yard TD pass.
Just think, people legitimately thought the ISU coach was someone we should have hired last year too :lol: Super glad we dodged that bullet. That coach looks like the product of one good QB/RB combo.
Too many are like that in college football. Recent notables include Jimbo, Ed Orgeron, Gene Chizik
I understand that aspect of it and from that angle it is smart. My thing is it could backfire imo. They have swagger when they are winning and proving the haters wrong. But what happens when the haters are right? How will they respond to getting whipped? They may be able to respond to the adversity, we will see. But imo the us against the world approach is a recipe for implosion. That being said, what do I know. I'm a random husker fan who has disdain for the buffaloes
We still look down on you. Doesn’t matter how good or bad we may be, you’re still Iowa and always will be.
