*** Official Colorado Game Thread ***

36 seconds to go and NIU with a 1st down and in FG range to beat Notre Dame.  Of course the official spots the ball behind the first down marker and it was an awful awful spot, ref was behind the play and couldn't even see it.
And we got to play them next week. We’re worried about the wrong team 

 
We're going to need to get some turnovers and bring Sanders to the ground a lot.  Him just scrambling is a recipe for broken coverages, and we'll need to pick a couple off.  I'm worried about our DBs on islands....well see.
From Short Side Options blogs, if the DL and LB's can stuff the run and own the LOS, that'll allow the safeties to play over the top in pass support and not have to creep in to assist in the run game.  But I agree that our secondary is the weakest link on the D. And no DB even Prime in his Prime could cover a receiver like Hunter while he simply runs around like a backyard game..IMHO, Sanders and Hunter/Horn Jr will probably be the best we see this season at their respective positions.  Best way to hurt CU is keep their O off the field.  Some time consuming drives to dominant the TOP.

Which may mean Nash and Ty are on the bench if in obvious pass downs.  They are monsters, don't get me wrong, but can they catch Sanders and bring him down?
