GT with 3 fumbles last year.  2 already tonight and making life easy for Colorado.  Neither forced. 

And despite that CU is only up 7-0 with GT knocking on the door of the redzone. With a quick strike opening score and two gifted turnovers they've really blown a golden opportunity to blow this game wide open.

Yep.  GT with 3 straight turnovers and then backed up on the 1 for the start of the 4th series.  Colorado blew the gifts overall

App St game just got really sloppy. Charlotte just committed 3 turnovers in their last 4 possessions, and App St has had 2 def players ejected from targeting the last 2 defensive drives.  

I think the college targeting rule (or really the punishment) is the worst in all of sports.  I’d didn’t see these hits but ejection for simply any hit that meets the definition of targeting is just too harsh for me.

The hit on Harrell I could see because the player launched into him after he had fumbled the ball and really knocked his azz out. The one before to me, was iffy. If they only had lifted their helmets level and not lowered them, neither one would have been called. Its about fundamentals

Yeah, the penalty is one thing but the automatic ejection seems too much but people would be hollering if it was left up to ref discretion so I get it.

    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
