Lots to learn and improve upon, but disappointing as it is to lose, I'm very encouraged by what I witnessed today. Heading in the right direction finally and it showed.

The biggest questions is how good is CU. If they end up a top 10 or 15 team by year end. Then yes we made a ton of mistakes and still almost beat a very good team.I wasn’t discouraged, just disheartened.
Then I got on here and read that our freshman QB is soft and tore his ACL, PCL, and MCL and walked off the field on crutches (false). And our coaches can’t manage the clock and our team is undisciplined. I then became quickly discouraged ... in our fans.
This looked like a young team playing its first game of the season under a new coach. And they looked better than they did in any game last season. I agree, there are a lot of positives to take away, if our QB isn’t seriously injured.
Our two weakest position groups last year, corner and Oline are much further along than I thought they'd be. Ozigbo looked very good. I want him starting over Bell. Martinez looked very good for the most part. I think we'll be just fine.

If CU end up bad then there is a bit more concern.
I agree, I wouldn't go doom and gloom based on the first game, with a fresh QB, new staff, and many new players. There are definitely things that need to be cleaned up however if we want to get to 6 wins. If Martinez is out for any amount of time, it is not going to be good.
Sorry, but CO is a BAD football team, have been for years.IMO CU has very little to do with it. They have a good team with an experienced QB and some NFL prospects at WR. But we beat ourselves today and need to be more consistent. If we do that AND AM makes a full recovery (BIG if), we are going to give the Big 10 fits this year and win some we shouldn’t.

Most of the people that post on message boards don't know shit about football. I see it every damn year people half watch the game as they scroll through social media and bitch and moan about everything under the sun. I for one was excited by a lot of the things I saw today, we are a young team and we're going to make mistakes but I liked a lot of what I saw today.I wasn’t discouraged, just disheartened.

I’m glad someone isn’t a total idiot right now. Defense looked good, weakness was what we all expected, the secondary. A Mart showed some flashes of being special soon. O-line and D-line looked great majority of the time. Run game was good.
This is as good as we ever looked as a complete team in a long time, regardless that we lost. If A Mart is ok we can still do some damage, not a lot of the Big Ten looked like world beaters today either.
I will say it doesn’t appear we have an RB that can take it to the house.. perhaps Washington? But Bell was def brought down from behind at least on one big scamper.. Oz has never been that back but I def liked his production today. I also loved Bell.. just wish he could’ve had more jets is all.
Why even respond to this clown..They may have a bad defense but that offense is as good as any in the Big 10 West.
Anyway, the main premise of post was that this game said a lot more about us than CU.
