Game thread Texas versus Colorado

CU really should have gone for it last drive. They are in trouble now and we are smelling blood.

5 starters including 1st team all-american sitting on D. And we look legit talented on D.

Addition by subtraction. We have the guys on the field who are most dedicated to playing the game of football.
 
Re the sliding issue: The problem now is that refs call a penalty most anytime a QB goes into a slide and gets hit with any amount of force. That should not be. Rather, there must be some judgment applied about whether (i) the defender started his tackle before or at the same time that the QB is sliding or (ii) the defender nevertheless lowered his head (ie, speared) or hit the head & neck area of the QB. Right now, the tie and several steps before that goes to the QB. That in my view is the issue.

I’m a fan of trying to get rid of blows to the head. But it’s not correct to consider a QB a defenseless player a microsecond from when he was running past the line of scrimmage with a full head of steam, when lots of QBs are 230 pounds.
 
Second game in a row where the opt outs are showing what a cancer they were (Ossai and Cosmi being the exceptions). The inexperienced, younger guys are outplaying them. Thanks Hermie, you gave them the microphone and then the team, and they took our season. They’ve left, now it’s your turn.

And you simply can't expect a defender to know exactly when a guy is or isn't going to slide. If you think he'll probably slide, the only way to be sure of avoiding a penalty is to let up beforehand and hope you're right.

Hard to argue.
