TCU and Colorado are simply two mediocre teams with inept defenses.
TCU frittered away about 20 points through its offense's incompetence when presented opportunities.
If I had to bet, after this weekend's meeting of mediocre teams in Boulder, the Buffs will be 1-1.
As good as the rest of your analysis and takes.
I obviously overrated Nebraska when I called them mediocre. And CU gets to play another inept offense this week. Hit the hype machine, Gloria.
I heard CO would win 3 games this year MAX. 5 was out of reach. Care to take that line or did you want to back peddle further?
I doubt I ever said that.
And 3 - 0 after CSU is more than likely. 'Cuz CSU. And they get to play both Arizona schools this year.
Less than 5 -7 seems like an abject failure.
I feel like the goal posts are being moved for Coach Prime. We are talking about a team that was Cal-too-high away from Owen last season, and not a single loss was even close, or close to being close. I've been told it's impossible to compete in P5 first year after a thorough roster ass cleaning. Now we're saying anything less than 5-7 is an abject failure? Well, it would represent a 4 to 6 win improvement over last year, despite said roster turnover.
I don't get it. The guy has turned out to be a semi-serious coach with ambition to get his team to be better. Nobody doubts that when they run into SC, UW and UO that they're going to get their asses kicked at least two out of those three, and lose the other one. But you have to give him a fair standard to beat and not move it around every week he wins.
Surprising they beat TCU. Fortunate to win, but a win is a win. Good for them. But TCU is no better than mediocre.
Nebraska is terrible--can't execute a snap or a handoff without giving the ball to the opposition. At this rate, they might win 3 this year, assuming they beat their 2 remaining non-Power 5 foes.
Colorado State looked pretty awful.
Personally, I never claimed it's impossible to bring in a whole new team and win. It happens in the NFL from time to time. In an era of unlimited free agency, it'll happen in college too.
So he'd be a genius at 5-7?
