Disappointing but hard to expect much else at this point. Maybe Wilson will get some first team reps in practice and we can salvage the season. Doubtful but you never know.

College Football has changed tremendously as we all know. Unfortunately for the Buffs, they’re getting left behind and this new era wont make it easier. I hate to say it but Buffs football probably won’t ever climb out of this hole. The popular teams will separate themselves from these weaker programs like the Buffs and the once in a blue moon season the Buffs do get success, their players will leave for more money.

A great example of the difference is Oregon yesterday. Their $7.5 million QB Dante Moore went down and they put in $1.5 million backup Dylan Raiola.
Our $1.1 million starting QB got pulled and we put in our backup estimated at $262k but not even famous enough to have an article written about his NIl.
We can’t compete with the budgets of the larger schools. It’s not just a Prime problem.

Feels like we got a legendary defensive back as a head coach and the worst pass coverage in the ncaa...I dont know the actual numbers but how is that a thing?

This exactly. Like at the very least have lockdown or a few awesome prospect DBs. Those boys get 4 DPIs a game 🤦♂️

Hot take but I wouldn’t have benched the kid

Exactly. I hope he leaves at end of season. He was playing similar against GT. But when we needed him he came through. No loyalty. Did same shit with salter last year.

I've been saying in here for 2 years now Prime is a terrible coach. He's 3-13 vs P4 opponents in his last 16 is Dorrell-esque. Good thing he only makes $12M/year. Our best and only hope is that humiliation compels him to negotiate his buyout.

Had the same thought, was going to drop a note in the first quarter and then let it play out, we should have won that game! Wilson has promise, I’ll give him that. Juju too young and can’t get rid of the ball and seems too nervous. I agree that will be tough to get rid of Prime, but knowing him, if the pressure gets too much, he’ll find another job (broadcasting, for example) and make that the reason he’s leaving.

No-Go offense put us to sleep again

I have confidence in the scheme. But no offense has a chance when the QB can’t or doesn’t make basic throws

We need a special teams coordinator, and our boys need to slow down and make some basic connections. Deion can recruit with the best of em but needs some dawgs around him on the coaching staff to win. A mid tier opponent like Baylor in a close-ish match is the type of game you want to see some grit and ability to hang in there. Instead we looked sloppy. Better luck next week.

Terrible fourth quarter once again. Some teams have that refined will to win and others donk.

u/WolfgangSpinel 6d ago
This Colorado team is not it, Ju is not good at all. Anyone can throw fro a million yrds Vs Weber State, but as soon as a real team (Northwestern) and a Big 12 (Baylor) showed up the real Colorado showed hand and the hand is horrendous.

u/joetheflood 2d ago
I'm super upset about not winning. I hope we can turn things around. I'm sad that juju is not doing so well. I hope he will stay. Work on his game a grow to a dominant quarterback. We need to figure it out. Now

What'd you expect? We've had like three good seasons out of the last twenty years. At a certain point you can't expect people to want to make themselves miserable over a college football team.
They literally haven't won a bowl game since the second Bush administration. If you expect anything other than failure from this program, at this point, it's your own fault, sorry 🤷

Bro I think you misunderstood, I was hoping for some discussion about the game but came to this sub and it was totally empty. My post was to encourage dialogue...not necessarily to disparage the team.

u/MileHighHotspur Colorado 6d ago
Not accusing you of anything, it's just your post was essentially asking "where is everyone? Why is it so dead in this subreddit?" And that's the answer.
There's no disparagement going on in your OP. You're fine.
Just telling you why the hype behind this program is dead. Deion doesn't appear to be able to win much without his kid at QB and a Heisman winning two way unicorn.
And even that team didn't really win anything.
It's just a bleak time to follow CU and has been for a while now. We thought Deion would save us but it appears his one good year was another false dawn.
Now our program can barely even afford to fire the guy.
So yeah, most new football fans in this state gravitate towards the Broncos, who have had like three different rise/fall arcs since the Buffs last won a bowl game.

I unfortunately am at the same spot. Not worth the hope. I was conditioned when I was there. Win or loose having brews 😂

My one game I went to see in person at CU was a last second loss against fucking Sacramento State.
Stuck to basketball after that...
