McCaffrey is N!
- Thread starter headcard
- Start date
You are 100% correct. But what makes Christian’s performance so damn funny is that it was against the probably the best Iowa football team of all time. So it will always hold awesome comedic value.
Yes it was bad, but it pales in comparison to what M. Gordon did to you guys a few years ago. Over 400 yards rushing? All-time single game rushing record???
There's a reason our coach at that time is now living in Youngstown, Ohio.
W
Wow, haven't seen your name around here for a long time. CU still has fans that aren't drunk college aged transplants from California? Scavenger, what a fitting name for a CU fan.
Urine balloons. Those were the good old days, when we were good enough to have fans go thru the trouble of filling balloons with urine, which can't be that easy.
I suspect that they're gonna let him compete at QB knowing full well that he probably plays at another position if he wants to see the field.
I had heard it said that they plan to take two QBs this class, and I'll be surprised if they don't. LOT of time left, kids haven't even started their senior seasons.
Exactly the point I was going to make. The difference here is the coach we had at that time is fired. You guys still have your fluff ball HC in place. So what say you now....?!?!
Pales in comparison? No, it doesn't. Their performances were fairly comparable when you look at the numbers.
Gordon had more all-purpose yardage (408), but not by much. McCaffrey set the Rose Bowl record with 368 all-purpose yards: 172 rushing, 105 receiving and 91 on returns. He also became the first player with 100 rushing and receiving yards in the game. He probably would have gone for a lot more if Stanford wasn't already up 35-0 at halftime.
NU was only down 24-17 at half (we were actually up 17-3 at one point, which is hard to believe looking back), but the flip side is that UW had every reason to keep their foot firmly on the gas pedal. When the wheels fell off in the second half, it started to resemble Techmo Bowl.
Ours is still worse because more yards and the number 400 is downright gaudy, but we both got our pants pulled down on national TV. In NU's defense, at least ours happened in a regular season road game without major implications and not in the Rose Bowl on the heels of what had been one of Iowa's best seasons ever. But I digress.

I hope this commit doesn't blow our chances of landing Duggan and Burrow

Those are his junior highlights. Game you are referencing was a 4pm start at Jeffco stadium. In Colorado afternoon games on public school fields for varsity is not uncommon, as they'll schedule a 4pm and then a 7pm start.
The only good thing about the Melvin Gordon game is that Oklahoma's running back broke the record the very next game. The record stood for maybe 15 years and then it gets broke in two successive weeks.
I agree 100%. It was a dumpster fire of epic proportions. I think Melvin Gordon just scored again actually.
I just found it funny that an Iowa fan would bring it up as if CMC wasn't equally dominant against them. Both teams shit the bed and got absolutely boat raced.
The #1 player in Colorado is: not McCaffrey. He's also the only player with an offer from the reigning national champions so that kind of carries commitment weight for CU fans. He's also an elite 11 QB, was invited to the Opening, and might be the best QB out of the state in, well, forever. The guy who started ahead of McCaffrey is also on campus. CU is fine at QB after Lytle, Stenstrom, and now Evans. Not sure where we would have played McCaffrey with the WRs we've been recruiting lately so really NU was a far better choice for him than CU with your offense and depth chart.[/QUOTE]
TOS rates players based on composites from every other site though. I do agree he has a lot to prove this year and is obviously the better athlete and fit for NE.

This is like choosing between Trump and Hillary.Pales in comparison? No, it doesn't. Their performances were fairly comparable when you look at the numbers.

Indeed. It's the football version of Giant Douche vs. Turd Sandwich.
Super smooth, sticks the plant foot and heads north...no dancing beating around the Bush. If he doesn't play QB for 2 to 3 yrs he will contribute elsewhere until then . Can't wait to see an imaginative offense use kids like this early on.

I like ESPN best, top 150 player overal. Like I said before, might as well say he’s a 4 star, he is on 2 other sites and on this site is he a 5.7 3 Star.
Edited, my bad. 2 other sites

Not that it matters or takes away from the point you are trying to make, but there are really only 3 recruiting websites. Rivals, ESPN, and 247. 247 and Scout merged a couple of years ago.

And Luke is number 1 in the state on 24/7 and ESPN. Your trying very hard to sale Evan as the better player to us Huskers when we will claim Luke MacCaffrey all day. Give it up brotha, or go the Buffs board and talk up Evans. I’d take McCaffrey over Evans any day.
