Ya I've been confused for like a half hour on why people thought this was turning into a blowout.

Yeah, honestly NDSU had a great chance. They had a drive in the 3rd quarter where they were driving at midfield and they... switched QBs.

After a bad RPO, an inexcusable delay of game, they stalled and punted. That allowed Colorado to get the ball and go up 2 scores.

I don't think the two-QB system by NDSU was that successful tonight.

This wouldn’t inspire a lot of hope if I was a Buff fan. This game perfectly highlighted their flaws and their highs. They are the same team with new names and an improved Sanders/Hunter and a few good WR.

They aren't a good team, but they'll hit some bombs on us and it'll be a shootout I'm feeling.  Can our freshman QB not turn it over? That's the question.

 
A 5 pt win over an FCS team and people are freaking out. Shedeur and 2 WRs is all they got going on. Yep, we’ll get torched a few times. But no way we’ll have as many breakdowns as NDSU had. Easy cover next week.

Honest question, when is the last time we easily covered a P5 team OOC? 

Edit: Washington in 2010 by my quick research.  We were 18 point favorites in 2011 and won by 13.

Edit 2: We were 8 point favorites against Miami in 2014, won by 10. Is that an easy cover? I'd say no.
