Colorado Buffs BLASTED By Nebraska | Has Anything Really CHANGED From Last Year For Deion Sanders?

Colorado lost in Nebraska last night 10-28 was the final in Lincoln here's my question has anything changed at Colorado and I have more to that but like I think it's a fair question to ask right now based on the way that Nebraska just dominated that line of scrimmage based on the way that they were more efficient based on the way that they won the turnover battle has anything really changed in Boulder Colorado now make sure you're subscribed right here to the on3 YouTube channel Colorado fans we're just we're going to talk about your Buffs now so make sure you're locked in here college football fans we're going to talk about college football the greatest sport on the face of the planet so make sure you're locked in here we appreciate you for being subscribed so when I say has anything changed I want us to be fair in that discussion because it's been two weeks what Colorado is through two weeks of this season does not define them does not mean that's who they have to be going forward same way that we talked about Michigan like as of two weeks through the football season they are not what they expect to be but the good news for both the folks in an arbor and in Boulder Colorado uh the season is not a two we ordeal so there's that there's also been some improvement so when I say the same team I'm not saying there hasn't been some places where I've seen Colorado be better I think they were better rushing the passer I do think that defense in some spots has shown a little bit more teeth um there's been some improvement but when I say has anything changed what I'm speaking to is are they a different kind of team at Colorado because you can improve and still be the same kind of team and when I say that when I say same kind of team I'm talking about do you have any kind of anything running the football do you have any kind of anything stopping the run and I said they've improved on defense but like y'all yesterday Nebraska got what they wanted running the football now Colorado was a lot better in the second half stopping the run but like the results overall from what I can tell even if there's marginal Improvement in different spots is relatively the same and we said that Colorado early on last off season had some uh some hints of dysfunction I mean we we got killed for that dude saying they were dysfunctional but the reason why I say that schematically Colorado functional wise the way that they would like to operate did not have how they want to operate you want to have balance as a football team they didn't have that your leading rusher had 32 yards up front still can't protect shid Sanders and I love I think Shor Sanders one of the best quarterbacks in college football if you were to stand on the table and tell me he should be the first quarterback taken I wouldn't have this tremendous push back on that right now Travis Hunter is pound-for-pound the best player in college football okay but again functionality wise they do not have things in place to function properly there is not a complimentary style of ball being played in Boulder and so you can only like get into a track meet with so many teams like Colorado they were good defensively they were getting after shadur they did a great job on the back end mixing up coverages they were able to play man with Colorado which is what we said all week had to be the case for them to win that football game and like there was no other answers for Colorado now internally I am not in that building I do not pretend to know exactly what's going on however I will say this from the broadcast copy which again I'm I am way out here looking in so I don't want to pretend that I know everything the body language that we saw from Colorado to me was concerning you got guys uh the broadcast talking about guys sitting 20 yards away from their teammates that's concerning uh seeing the body language when really the game wasn't like Out Of Reach by any stretch of the imagination it was still an 18-point game in the third fourth quarter like still a game where you can fight scratch claw find a way to get back into it did not see any fight from where I am standing Colorado threw in the threw in the towel wave the White Flag okay that was concerning them because to go on the road and for this to be a rivalry game this is a game that you won last year and to just from again from what I can tell body language wise look as poor as you did yesterday that is very concerning having the towel over your head that's concerning not telling you the end all be all but good football teams don't have that kind of body language now before you say we're hating on Colorado said the same exact thing about Florida State after they played Boston College so nobody's picking on Colorado here and I think that's the other thing I want to talk about with Colorado like anytime you say something true about Colorado or have a take on Colorado that's not overwhelmingly positive it's you're hating on Colorado nobody's hating on Colorado all right they just had an offensive line showing that was abysmal last night they had a pretty uh horrendous defensive showing last night in terms of trying to stop the run they looked a lot better in the second half I want to make sure we say that but like nobody is like going after Colorado here okay honestly for me it would be better if Colorado were to go undefeated win the national championship if we're just going to talk about this from like a business point of view that would be phenomenal I'd love to see Colorado do well also I think Deion Sanders and how he operates like I love to see him have success I think the the way that he's brought interest to college football is tremendous but again if we're just talking about what happened last night Colorado has uh a lot left to be desired in my opinion so what has to change like that's the question you have to ask now has anything changed probably St still too early to call if you're asking me based on last night I would say probably not but again long Runway the way things have to change I think you got to have somebody in that locker room draw a line in the sand and say hey it's not okay this is not how we're going to operate this is not how we're going to operate we're not going to have this body language we're not going to have this this wo is me mentality we're not going to have this you know segmented sort of approach now going forward after we have a tough loss like that that cannot be the way they go forward now they need real internal locker room leadership again I'm not telling you you don't have it it'd be true for Colorado same same way it's true for Florida State same way it's true for Michigan like there has to be a line drawn in the sand and a standard set for everybody again in that locker room not the coaching staff down in that locker room because that's where ownership begins okay that's where ownership begins I want to say this too and this is again nobody's hitting on Colorado we said this back in the offseason I'm saying it again we need to reset the expectations around them because the danger with them was as soon as Colorado beat TCU last year which was a great win I didn't see it coming I was eating crow the the Sunday after it became very quick on hey you got to pick a side on Dion Sanders and like I I honestly I I understand and respect the the thought it's like hey you're either with us or you're against us but within the college football public very quickly it became you think he's going to win a National Title or you think he's horrible and my thing I said throughout the course of that entire do you believe is like well I've seen one game same thing I would say after last season I've seen one season I don't think one season has the book out on anybody going 4 and8 I told you last year I think that was an improvement I thought last year going 4-8 winning three more football games and they did the season before Deion Sanders got there was an improvement was a success nationally relevant don't care what anybody says nationally relevant football team is Colorado Steve sarkeesian won one more football game than Deion Sanders did his first year at Texas went 5 and seven they made the college football playoff last year so there's some Runway here but again I need us to reset our expectations and how we communicate when we talk about Colorado like they're not they're not going to be a big 12 title contending team this year they're just not and that's okay that shouldn't be the expectation for them after going 4 and8 last year the expectations should be let's get to a bowl game let's find a way to create balance let's find a way to protect our quarterback who's the arguably the best quarterback in college football like let's find a way to maximize Travis Hunter like all these things where I'm like let's just get to a bll game and move forward from there so Colorado last night looked very uh very similar to what we saw a season ago with the frustration stopping the run with uh the inability to run the football and protect shooter Sanders they just some things that just non-negotiables to get into where they want to go so for Colorado I'm excited to see how they respond from this I think you talk about you know the cultural stuff and again I'm not within the building so I don't want to speak too definitively on that but we will get a really good gauge for how they uh how they operate internally with how they respond to a loss like this I'm excited to see it
