That was a fun Thursday night game to watch. Unless the OL and Defense for the Buffs get A LOT better, they won't win 5 games. Deion has turned out to be a circus act in Colorado but no one can deny the economic impact he's had on the community and university. They showed the numbers and they were staggering. But ultimately he has to start winning or they'll shut down the circus. I'm still waiting on Sapp to get arrested.

They also had only 59 yards rushing on 23 attempts.

If NDSU had 6 more seconds, they would have won because Colorado's defense wasn't stopping them at the end of the game.

i thought who ever was operating the clock was favorable to CU. I think they burned a few extra ticks off the clock on the last drive for each team. If the Bison QB could throw about 5 yard further CU probably would’ve lost.
I know one thing after the last timeout all Colorado had to do was take a knee and run the clock out. They ended up trying to pass the ball 30 yards downfield incomplete pass that was essentially a free timeout for NDSU. They got the ball with 25 seconds on the clock. None of that happens if you just run the ball or take the knee. That lack of awareness or stat hunting will lose you games.

Hunter is seriously impresssive. I know this is vs an FCS school, but dang.
He'd do that against just about anybody. The guy is a freak of nature. Also, the Horn, Jr kid can flat out fly. They both will be in the NFL. Hunter will be a top 15 possibly top ten pick when he decides to come out.

There are too many "ME" players on CU. However, the players usually take on the values and personality of the Coach.
The entire team is like that and yes, it is because their head coach is a "look at me, look at me" person. I don't see how anyone who knows anything about life could advocate how that program is being run is "good" for those kids in the long run.

I was rooting for Deion to begin with but ultimately what I've learned (through his actions) is he's not changed from when he was a player. He can't stop running his mouth regardless of the circumstances.

This announcer thinks he's impressing us with his vocabulary.

Several times it's been painfully obvious that he's trying too hard - the epitome being his description of the NDSU QB's "prestidigitations"...
Yeah I caught that too. I was thinking “okay what does the quarterback’s religion have to do with anything?”
