It will be interesting to see that offense after Butt moves on to the NFL. He's their easy button when crap goes sideways.

I watched the 2nd half yesterday as I missed most of it on Saturday. Colorado had guys open against the secondary still, but the DL had cranked the pressure way up. Would a healthy Lofou been able to diagnose/expose that more than the freshman could? Probably, but we'll never know if it would have been enough to keep CU in it.
Gary looked really good, though he got run up the field a few times when went to the outside rush a bit too often. Need to work on that counter hump/spin move.

Butt is a wonderful security blanket for a first-year starter.
I think that by the second quarter Brown had figured out the right response to the Buffs offense, and the players are starting to get it, but there's a ways to go.
Overall, the team looks shakier than you'd hope for. There's been no miracles worked with the OL, and I had hoped that Year 2 in the system would have made a bigger difference than it seems to be making. Unless Braden is more hurt than we know.

You need some better running backs as well.

Drevno came here reportedly having produced a solid OL at USC with a bunch of frosh. But that wasn't billed as a dominant line. We're starting 3 guys who will have spent the majority of their time under Hoke/Borges/Funk. Cole and Newsome are younger. Given that guys like Newsome, Onwenu and Bredeson have seemingly passed Hoke recruits like Dawson, who was a five-star, and Kugler and Bushell-Beatty, my bet is that we won't see the line we want or the running game we want until the line has five upperclassmen recruited by Harbaugh. Is what it is. You can't just erase all traces of incompetence in two years.

The run game is miles below expectations.Last edited by Hannibal; September 19, 2016, 02:42 PM.
