Colorado Is Still Being Labeled "Overrated" After Close Win Over North Dakota State | Pat McAfee

game doesn't start for another 24 hours and we're going to need you in the second half and these people will show up that's what West Virginia does now speaking of showing up last night college football did in a big way there was a thriller in Colorado between North Dakota State yeah and the Colorado Buffalo uhhuh North carota State obviously one of the top teams in uh D1 double A not D2 get right get it right I'm sorry I'm sorry and they are a very disciplined Squad and we knew knew that people that were potentially casuals to college football did not know about North Dakota State's greatness but there is no way in hell that coach Prime wanted his team to play on a Thursday night against a Dakota team on national television and if I was Prime I'd say yes I definitely wanted that but some easier team would have been much nicer last night's game was phenomenal I think what we took away from it was that North Dakota state is certainly a wagon but shador Sanders and Travis Hunter are going to be a problem yeah for everybody now the conversation goes beyond that because they also have Jimmy horn Jr who was running wild both those guys had seven receptions over 100 yards shadora threw for 400 yards and some and over what's being chanted here in morgwn over overated I don't know is being chanted on the internet at a very massive clip they still seemingly have some of the same problems at least in the first half that they had last year offensive line was kind of getting bullied a little bit the defense wasn't able to stop anything Shiloh was taking cheap shots seemingly every single play trying to set a tone he got called for it he stopped I think but nonetheless this Colorado team was a spectacle shador takes shots like that stands right up see I think he's a tough guy I think he can spin it I appreciate the way he goes about his business but I don't know if what we saw last night leads to Colorado going to the college football playoff and I don't know if what we saw last night leads to them winning four games which a lot of people on the internet thought I thought they were happy to get a win we move along to next week to Nebraska and we keep trying to stack some things Tai yeah I mean I think we we found out what we already knew and that's that shadur Sanders and Travis Hunter are two of the most electrifying guys in college football it's just the way it is but like you said the expect I mean like you're expected to win that game last night it's at home we knew I mean and you talk about the defense like shadur said going into the half he's like hey we have to score on every possession so you know I can't throw interceptions we can't have three and outs we got to clean some stuff up but you're right like you're supposed to win that game we'll find out this catch is not supposed to be caught though that was ridiculous one of the best catches in college football in in the last several years but but like you said we'll find out next week what Colorado is really all about because Nebraska obviously under Matt rule like there's a lot of hype with them there are they're you know Colorado's dogs going into that game if they have a good showing against Nebraska I think that kind of quells a lot of the doubt that people have that catch right there is up for Catch of the Year there was a guy that caught a football earlier on this hill one-handed with a camera going to be up for Catch of the year as well as they were tossing the football around out here but what Travis Hunter did last night and there was people on the internet and I saw people that I respect with big brains saying this dude's a wide receiver what are we doing yeah he's I mean he didn't make a couple tackles he got blocked early and I think people are like he's not he's not going to put his he's a lock down corner he is a like not a lot of lock down Corners are being asked to go fill the run or go make tackles especially if you're doing 120 plays yeah played every snap of two last night he is a freak show to watch it is so much fun to see them play football but once again there's still a lot of questions to be ass Pat white as a man who led an incredibly successful offense for a long time what are your thoughts on the Colorado offense and shador and Travis and Jimmy and everything they're doing over there two five and 12 are talented um I know they say 12 won't tackle but I saw him come and plug a hole once um two I mean timing he has it down pack he understand the timing of the offense he throws a great ball and I don't think people give him the respect or credit he deserves for his touch on his pass um and again like you said he's a tough guy he's going to stand in there and take the hit and make the make the throw so um they'll do great until they come to Morgan toown uh hell yeah as a guy who was hey man as a guy who was a former D1 daa football player yourself what did you expect from North Dakota State last night what are your thoughts on Colorado's win well here's what I got to say Colorado it was NDSU it you know hey no disres respect listen Tyler roll offensive coordinator last year they have a stout Run game with some of the best all right some of the best all right it's still onea okay what what are you doing Colorado oh you don't it's good football it was a good win what's good what's a good win any win yeah so any win so any win so we're on that boat last year huh okay just real quick uh talking about any win if we were when we get the big wing tomorrow it's not going to just be talked about any win it's going to be talked about a historic win and the name that's going to be associated with it let's talk about Colorado last night and I know you and Coach Prime are obviously close because of a a aack in this entire thing what did you see from that team last night and uh are last year's issues the same issues that they're probably going to have this year that's what everybody on the internet saying coach well I I think that uh a couple things first of all I think they got better skill guys to go with the quarterback which I think is going to be important uh I think they need to try to improve their ability to run the ball because they didn't have much balance last night which showed up at the end of the game when they couldn't take the air out of it and gave the ball back to North Dakota State I do think their defense might be a little bit improved now whether it's good enough I don't know but you have to be a really good defense to play with that kind of offense who has to throw the ball all the time just like they probably gave up 90 yards at the end of the game that the other team shouldn't ever had the ball so um you know I think they're improved are they improved enough to have a winning season I hope so coach are you able to with the modern day and you got to experience it a little bit with the transfer portal in nil and I think they said 42 incoming players onto that Colorado roster are you able to make a flip in one offseason in modern football you think just automatically flip everything you have and cuz they didn't win a lot of games last year which is being thrown out a lot last night after the way that game went against North Dakota state do you think with the way the transfer portal is with the way they've utilized it can you become a very successful program almost overnight with this transfer portal well I think the transfer portal helps because it gives you another resource to bring in players to the program but the thing about the transfer portal is are you bringing the right guys in are you bringing the right kind of guys in are these guys going to fit into your culture and do things the way you want them done how are they going to buy into your organization how's it going to fit in with the other players you have on your team so I think when you have a lot of guys in the transfer the transition of how those guys fit is really the most important thing yeah in picking the right guys in recruiting and in the transfer portal I think you only have like a week to talk to some guys right because they're making a decision it's like how do you know how do you not know I guess you just got to build an NFL Factory in uh in the state of Alabama which this West Virginia boy was able to accomplish
