Rhule acknowledged this. They need to do better, but also the refs called back every big play.
it will never not be funny to see the white knights come out to claim everyone who points out obvious, no-shit truths is just miserable and will never be happy
last night was a huge win
we also need to be a lot better up front, in the run game and in the booth.
both can be simultaneously true, ladies

Dear God. If I said we win 28-10 before the game you'd be happy AF. He did enough. The wheel route to Lloyd was there, that bullshit pancake "hold" was there as well. We left 10 points on the table and played conservative in the 2nd. I'm not a fan of bubble screens either, but take the DUB, man. #gbr
Rahmir's TD run jumped out - great play and bodes well to have a home run hitter like him in the backfield. I didn't know if he had that in him, and he does.
our center also committed a blatant holding penalty on said play. he needs to be better along with the rest of the OL.
Get used to this style of play. This is Matt Rhule. He will win more games than he loses the rest of his time at NU, and probably win a fair share of close games, but we won't be lighting up the scoreboard. Satterfield has always been a bottom half of the nation in scoring, and top in turnovers. He is with Rhule again because he does what Rhule wants and is willing to compliment the defense and special teams. Most OCs won't do this because it would jeopardize their careers to be in the bottom 50 of the NCAA in team scoring every year they are OC. The game plan was designed to not turn the ball over, as that was probably the only way to lose up 28-0. Satterfield was probably about to be fired at South Carolina when Rhule grabbed him up, and Satt is happy to have a very well paying job with a guy he trusts. It sucks to not obliterate teams, but ultimately a win is a win...this team, if it wins, will win ugly with defense and special teams. As much as people want a new OC...who is going to come coach for Rhule when his entire history is to handicap the OC in favor of defense...it is somewhat career suicide. We criticize Satt because we look at his career stats and they are absolute garbage, so we assume he is terrible...but much of that was with Rhule...if Satt was in the top 10 in scoring as an OC, we would trust him at this point...that he would figure it out. Much of the criticism is based on his past, which is directly related to Rhule's style of coaching.
There was so much PI going on, that referee crew was shit!! By the time Dylan threw the ball the receivers were just breaking free of getting held which screwed up the timing . JMO

Teams with good corners are going to give us fits. We do not have anybody who can beat a good corner one on one, which means teams can load up 8 or 9 in the box...they were playing with 8-9 guys within four yards of Dylan pretty much all of the 2nd half. And we were 0-infinity on deep fades and anything to force the safeties to help in coverage. We have to find somebody can win 1 on 1 on the outside...this is why Malachi not developing is a big deal. He was supposed to bring 5 star speed and height to force safeties to stay back.
They were holding all day long, are runs were getting called back, they chose to go conservative and run out the clock being unable to win against the Puffs AND THE REFS..
I think Rhule made it pretty clear he thought the game was over in the second half. The offense went into don’t lose and don’t put anything on film for better opponents. It would have been nice to run them out of the stadium, but I think a crappy second half is better for this team in the long run. They need to get back to work and blowing out a bad Colorado team may have inflated some of our guys egos. Take a dominant win and use the bad to get better.
The point is he could’ve solidified his stature with us by making necessary adjustments to bury Colorado. He didn’t and we still have concerns about him. When we get into a close game, we will really worry about his abilities..
Same problem as last year...no WRs that can beat their guy at the line. It is legal to get manhandled in the 1st 5 yards. Dylan couldn't wait for his WRs to break free, can't run pick plays because those are called PI now, and so he was just dumping quick screens. Wr is a big weakness on this team...I think they had more penalties than catches last night. Might has something to do with hiring a nobody to coach the position when there are better recruiters, better coaches all over the place. No offense, but how do you hire an inexperienced white guy, with no history of recruiting for that position?
It will also never be not funny seeing said posters bitch and moan without acknowledging the victory.
Those who acknowledge the victory while also saying we have some work to do are not getting white knighted as you say. It’s the ones who say things like “Satt should be fired. NM.”
You are absolutely right, both can be true and in fact both are true. Why call out the white knights and not the doom and gloomers? Because you love a fight with the white knight posters, which is painfully obvious.
Given the offensive production in the first half I find it hard to criticize Satt’s play calling then. I think they got conservative in the second half and CU started gambling with blitzes and a stacked box. We had several chunk plays negated by penalties soooo…. Hated all the penalties but a couple of them were awful calls.
Boerkircher is a better TE at this point. Would rather see him and then Nelson if we need a pass threat.
What should he have done differently on that drive? That said, I believe the 1st drive of the 2nd half sets the tone for the half.
Watch the snap & hold on those placekicks. Often, Buschini is reaching & off balance to corral the snap. That throws off the timing. Then he's trying to get the hold down on the correct spot. IF the hold is off the spot an inch or two, it messes up the kick. Lots of blame flowing Alvano's way, some of it is justified. Watch the other 2 positions. I won't be too critical of Alvano until I see consistent snaps on target and holds on the spot. I've held on FG & PAT back in the day. It's easy to mess up the kicker by being off just a little bit.
All it takes is one guy to screw up a play, and our center got there late and held.
Overall I'm pretty happy. Finally looks like a team that gives a shit and has some pride, and a team that a fan can be proud about, which is the first time we've seen that in 10 years. That's all I've been asking for.
For the thousandth time, Nelson is a 3rd string slot, not a TE. He is listed at 220 lbs, so 20 lbs more than our starting corner, Hill. He'll get his opportunities, as a WR.
Really makes me question how much people follow the team that are calling for Nelson at TE. Rhule specifically said he isn't big enough for TE right now and may never bulk up enough to be a TE.
I’m shocked what is going on with Alvano. Dude was money in High School and has regressed. It has been years since we’ve had a clutch kicker. I hope it works out.
We have some formations where the TE is lined up in the slot. No reason he couldn't get some PT during those snaps. Also find it hard to believe he could be that much worse than Fidone with run blocking with the more traditional TE formations
Yeah, just what we want. An undersized kid who just graduated from a class D school blocking in the Big 10. He's the same size as some of our other WR recruits but they put him under TE. Didnt enroll early. Why aren't you saying the same thing for Keelan Smith?
Fidone has been blocking a lot better so far this season. Maybe you should pay attention more often
What a meek introduction.
Let me guess you had a scholly for competitive dildo riding. Blew out your anus as a freshman?
The ones who are potential offensive coordinators or defensive coordinators?
I agree about the second half. They hot a little conservative and I understood that. I think first half wasn't good either. Of course I can't argue the results but go rewatch it a couple times. Sometimes I think Sat just gets unnecessarily "cute" with his play calling when he doesn't have to. That's just my opinion of course. Sometimes you don't have to out think the defense if you know what I mean. Imo last night was one of those nights
Holla
Fidone had a solid blocking game.
Second half was painful to watch, but to their credit the CU defense did not give up and bowed up to negate the run. The offense that was generated (in actuality, some nice chunk plays) was zeroed out by the flag happy zebras.
I like how the play calling is often criticized but an alternative is never offered. So instead of running an inside zone on the weak side with a pull and pin from the TE we should have run trips right and cleared the outside for a RB wheel route. No, it’s just the O coordinator (everything me since Tom) should be fired.
There are some basic rules for QBs to look at. Two deep safeties calls for a run, a single high is better for running. Does anyone really know what the play call was on all of the times when the right play wasn’t called? QBs are usually given two plays and they can option from that.
All this complaining just shows a lot of FB ignorance. The results could have been much better had DR not gone the wrong way twice or a holding call brought back a long TD run but sure go ahead and blame the play caller.
I am not a fan nor a critic of Sat but he has a boss as well so it’s not like he is all on his own.

Right, good opponents will come back to beat us. Much like we’ve seen the last several years.
well, this popular sentiment was thoroughly debunked in Rhule's presser today:
-Coach Rhule had the opinion of being aggressive when we were up 28-0
back to the well, white knights!
and for all the Satt apologists - why do you care who the OC is? what is the benefit of a personal connection to an assistant coach?
we want the best guys at every position.
plain and simple.

plain and simple.
I think we go 8-4 or 9-3 simply by having a QB that doesn't turn the ball over.
