I agree 100%. Outside of the fumble resulting in a safety, Paddock was solid today. He makes good decisions and gets the ball out quickly.
We’ll drive down from Peoria for the 7th time!
Or maybe it’s the perfect time for our RB room to be scant? You know, like when our D makes every QB look like a heisman candidate, maybe their D makes every RB look like a Doak Walker finalist.
With students gone on break, how about inviting all local school kids (within a 60 mile radius of C-U) for free?
Why not? Student Day? Free admission under age 18 for specific zip codes.
We have the worst defense I've ever seen in high leverage situations. If we "need a stop" bet on us not getting it. 3rd and 8 with the game on the line? Give up a pass right over the middle for 10 yards or let a non running QB run for a first because we only rushed 3.
I'm not blaming the "D" for yesterday's loss.
They also have one of the worst offenses in the conference yet still dominated the ball possession time. I'd would grade our defense as mediocre yesterday.
I give them a C minus
Yep this also what I think.
That’s been their mode all year. Dominate possession time, kick great punts to pin opponents, defense smothers drives quickly until turnovers and/or a worn out opposing defense eventually lets them score. Their offense can hang onto the ball for a long time, but seldom extend drives far enough to get into the end zone.
I’m no expert but from what I see in both pro and college ball, close games always lead to riskier up-tempo efforts by both teams in the last half of the 4th quarter. One of them always loses, but we’ve emerged as the winner in many close games this year.
