I haven't seen much if any discussion of the O line play from Saturday. What's everybody think? My general impression was that our right side struggled at times against UNI but I didn't really focus on that much when I was watching the game.
Lutovsky at right guard

IMO his lateral movement limits him. Pretty good when he gets his hands on a guy. Would fit better in a power scheme rather than mostly inside zone blocking.
Mazzucca is clearly better but sounds like he made a dumb@ss decision, whatever it was. Hopefully he can earn trust back & get on the field because we will need him.

Just keep DR upright

Seemed like we attacked the left side, especially wide with short passes and runs out wide left. If the right side is struggling at least we were wise to avoid it.
I don't know. Was too busy watching Barney and Nelson when they were in the game. Those guys are electric. Seemed like we struggled to run Dowdell inside like the previous 2 games.
I think Luto is similar to Mazz in pass pro, but can’t move people in that run game the way Mazz can. No one else on the team can.
We definitely missed him in the run game. I don't know what's up with the dude but he need's to get it together.
Blurb in paper today said that Mazz had been "demoted" to 2nd string...wouldn't play on Friday..but still practicing with the team. "
UNI was geared up to try to take the run game away from us IMO. I think their D line was actually bigger than CU's. CU had some athletic guys but I don't think they were gap sound all the time. UNI was very disciplined. I think their lines would match up well with Iowa's or Minnesota's.
Rhule said that in his press conference and believe he said he was #2 coming out of the spring. He was very open about Mazz not performing to the standard in spring. Hoped he would clean it up - but like Rhule’s mindset on such things. Hopefully MM learns from it and applies these learnings.
so you don't think we're physical enough on our lines too then cuz they gave us fits
