Man, what a crushing loss that was…I mean I didn’t expect us to look perfect, but there really was no reason to lose that game. Props to McElwain for coaching a good game and having his boys fired up to play. We were dominating before HT until that stupid dropped punt cost us 6 points, and we lost by 5 so there’s the difference really…our OL (really the RG) looked awful, and I’m afraid we might be in for a long season…
I watched a lot of this game: special teams were bad and the OL was awful. It seems pretty clear now why people were so down on CU coming into this season. The game of football really begins up front and CU's OL looked pretty bad. The QB play was average. There is a little bit of talent at the skill positions, but WRs can't be dropping so many balls.
The DL was solid, as were the LBs, and those two units held CSU in check most of the game. CU needs to start and finish quarters stronger. This is something BYU fans can attest to. The first 5 minutes and last 5 minutes of both halves were enough to do CU in. It gets easier the next game or two, but it's very apparent CU will struggle to make a bowl game this season.
