** 2023 Opponent Preview : Northern Illinois (Game 3) **

Play action sells are absolutely a lost art of fundamentals. Rodgers is pretty much the only quarterback left from the era where that was a disciplined skillset.


The other one is pump fakes. Our rookie quarterback Brock Purdy was pulling them off last season with great success, and I wondered why more quarterbacks didn't do this. 

 
Well, you see... We have a QB...

But for real, 4 turn overs a game is the problem. You take away the 2 late first half turnovers during the CU game and trade them in for TDs, you could be looking at a 21-17 or 28-26 win.

Take away any of the last 3 turnovers against Minny and we have a dub.


You can't win many games with 4 turnovers, but something tells me Colorado pulls off the win without them, too. 

When Sims got that touchdown mid-third quarter to make it a 13-7 one possession game, I still wasn't feeling it. Colorado was the better team. 

I did feel that Nebraska was a better team than Minnesota, and that game was simply gift wrapped for them.

 
Boston College is terrible.  Nebraska should win this but stupid mistakes and self inflicted wounds will keep it within 10.

Defense should shine, especially with a home crowd. 

I hope the boo birds and chants are loud when Sims has his first turnover
