Well, the last 2 years, Cam has hurt his knee in the Rose Bowl. 1st time, he played 14 games before injury. Last year, he came back game 4 so was good for 11 games. So, maybe we only have 8 games out of this knee, so we have to choose wisely. That would be waiting for USC after the BYE and he’d make it into the bowl game … and this is his last…[Read more]

UCLA had speed so getting around the edge was hard, but what if, what if, we actually pulled a guard or tackle to block on an outside run?! Or throw a screen if the defense is over-pursuing?!

All 22 points by Utes on Sunday (Moss with a receiving TD to add to 122 yards), Gay with XP and 5 FG including the game winner and 4 were 50+ yds!

Agree – l-loss and there is little room for error. I’m guessing a 1-loss team and a 2-loss team (with tie-breakers) will be in the CCG. No one is getting out of conference play unscathed, but we have @USC, Ore, @UW coming up and going to be hard to win all of those (if any if we can’t improve on our current offense). Beating OSU would keep some…[Read more]

I set up a smaller TV next to my bigger one so I can watch 2 games same time. It’s been great. YouTubeTV has an option for 4 at a time, but 1) I don’t have it, 2) It makes them all 1/4 of a screen so kind of small – need Lebron’s setup (9 TVs with 1 main game on 4 and other games on the other 5).

You get 1 free transfer without sitting? But since they went FCS –> FBS, maybe they still have one more. But I Shilo went SC to JS to CU as a grad transfer, so he’s probably looking to NFL if possible. Other than NIL, Shedeur probably goes NFL. So, really, it’s just the daughter. I guess we’ll see 😉

Agree. But next year, when there’s no Kuithe (maybe?) nor Yassmin? Juicy

Kids will go where they go, but let’s just take Jericho Johnson, a 4* DL. 247 says he’s warm between UW, UO, USC, and us. How hard is it to talk about playing at any of the other 3 and having to fly 4-5 hours to some games in a time zone 2-3 ahead of pacific? Maybe the B1G is appealing vs Big 12, but the realities might be different. He’s a CA…[Read more]

BR is an interesting one. I had no clue what recovery from a lacerated liver might be, but I’m sure he has to work himself back into shape but also probably doesn’t get as many reps as QB1 (whether that’s NJ or CR or a mix) as they get ready for conference play. Unfortunate and freak injury so he probably is now buried on the depth chart when he…[Read more]

Even if Cam didn’t come back, I think the coaches would have gone with Rose or Johnson. I don’t think they would have necessarily tried to get a starter from the portal. Bentley and Brewer anyone? I think it spooked the process of getting a mercenary qb into the system we do. Maybe they look, but we are still old school and had 2 4* qbs to develop…[Read more]

It is the PAC12 network, after all 😉

Good summary. One nit – I don’t like how everyone says QB2 is out. Yes, Rose was emerging as the potential 2, but it was still a toss-up when he got injured. Even if he had emerged, he would’ve been just as raw and mistake-prone as Nate. But I digress, just my opinion :).

All these injuries remind me of early PAC12 years in November. But that was…[Read more]

It’s fun and silly. I love maps, so I enjoy it too even if it is chaotic and nonsensical.

Our luck is Glover goes down at the 1, we have a false start, unsportsmanlike conduct, then holding, then miss the FG. JK

It is a rivalry, just not a competitive one haha. Last week definitely was more of what CU considers a rivalry game (Nebraska). CU-CSU is more like Utah-Utah St. Years of CU being Big 12 vs. CSU WAC/MWC does this to the competitiveness as well. They have played a lot in Denver but just recently started playing at the schools again (CSU has a new…[Read more]

Whitt said if you are up by 1, you kneel. If you are tied, you score. I think it still was a heads up, well taught play to even think about the choice – punch it in, burn time, or even kneel to bleed the clock to 3 seconds and kick the FG. That shows the savvy and coaching.

I also give credit to the Baylor player, knowing if he keeps him out,…[Read more]

Except for Big Noon Big 10 game, we own Fox the rest of the day. Too bad we share the slot with CU vs. Ore, but two ranked vs. ranked games in afternoon? Awesome for the rest of the country to see the b(r)and that is breaking up. I was hoping for the 5 game since I am trying to backpack Fri/Sat with my kid, but I’ll adjust.

Especially with Rose out for a while with the lacerated liver (yikes!). It actually seemed like Rose was starting to rise about NJ and Barnes. Barnes can stay backup and is kudos to him, but I don’t think he would transfer. But a former 4* with Nate’s speed? If he’s stuck at 3, he’s out pretty soon. We know Cam is last year no matter what. We have…[Read more]

Surprise! 😉

ok, yeah, either a WTF game like Cal or dropping either UF or Baylor. Not sure an 11-2 PAC12 team makes it. Depends on a lot of other factors.

Surprise: CU wins 4 games (but only to bad teams)! Cal has a few upsets; Arizona better than .500; Utah beats USC, UW, UO, but drops the roadie @ Ore St. but avenges the loss in the CCG and goes to Fiesta to beat Penn St. (#3 in B1G)
Disappointments: UW, USC each have 3+ losses

Surprise: Barnes is so good, he throws for 3500 yards (some over the…[Read more]
