Assistant Coach Evan Hicks coaches safeties (and special teams) and has a background as a DB at Sacramento JC. No note of any background coaching special teams.

Good to see new WRs in the mix. Looks like RB Fisher won't play (redshirt?).

Poor field position 2x now.

Amazing Stanford TD grab.

Yup. We're not at practice, but I'd sure want to get a talent like this untracked.

Lance Babbs
Year Catches Yards Average Longest
2023 .... 4 ...... 74 ..... 18.5 ...... 65
2022 .. 10 ....... 95 ...... 9.5 ...... 22
2019 .. 46 ....563 ...... 12.2 ...... 69

Colorado was up 29-0 on Stanford, at home, at the half tonight.

The Cardinal wins in 2 OTs, 46-43. Biggest Stanford comeback ever. Stanford WR w 294 yards. The 2nd half is worth watching.

Maybe the new OC hasn't seen his highlights from 3 years ago. Good to see Gbatu join the fun.

Is our O line banged up?

Correct. A WR can't be a threat if he doesn't have the ball thrown to him.

I can't recall a 64 yard run after catch getting so much criticism.

We gave UG the bulk of carries one year, not giving others an opportunity to develop or to motivate them. Maybe those views are antiquated. Like another AST poster remarked, when LL got so much work a HS coach was predicting an injury.

Our number one receiver is our TE, Josh Gale, w 19 catches and 258 yards. We scored 3 points in the second half last week, 6 of 15 on 3rd down.

Given Lance Babbs' playmaking ability - see 65 yard reception, most YAC - not sure why he is used so little, or in the dog house.

It seems like we set our game plan in preseason, but don't adjust for emerging players - Tehran Thomas, JC, or Babbs. We give the ball to UG, LL, or Fisher, and the others get a token carry or two.

Our offense seems predictable, and the 4th down play was odd. With MH a veteran, I'd figure we'd go uptempo on ocassion or no huddle.

Give LL 2 more weeks R&R. Go Ags.

Didn't TT badly muff a pass / pass play? (Nerves?)

We need to use more skill players to accomplish that.

Yes to the first part, unsure on the second.

Babbs shows he's a playmaker, he played a huge role in that score.

Momma's at the old Bistro 33 site was the clear unanimous winner this weekend. Virtually every breakfast item was $9.95.

I had the bacon & eggs, toast, and potatoes... which were a cross between potatoes and potato chips which were perfectly seasoned. Real cloth napkins, amazing patio, and now table service - with new staff just trained.

The Manager comes from Cafe Italia, Cindy's, and Dos Coyotes (?), so she knows what she's doing. Lunch and dinner aren't the same bargain, but market appropriate. Pizza by the slice at $3.95 another option. Huge space. FIVE STARS. I may post in the OT section later.

I don't understand the thought process of giving 80% of the carries to one runner, many up the gut for no gain, when we know Chukwudobe can break tackles.

It seems Montana made halftime adjustments and we didn't. Their little guy hurt us, as did special teams.

Is Kraft hurt? Same for Jeremiah Chukwudobe?

Special teams play hurt.

So glad we're savings Babbs for the Hornets. s/

Why throw into heavy coverage?!

Connors SEVENTEEN tackles.

Buchanan 2 sacks.

TE (Gale?) hurt.

3rd & 10 - they call a running play?

Bergen (?) has our number. Looks like the 3 penalties in the first half kept us close. D getting tired?
