At this point. I just want to see improvement. I want hope. Even if we lose our last 4 games. I want to see guys try, effort, the offense improve, some semblance of identification.
I am all in on playing guys for the future. But would love if we went all in to beat BYU. So hear me out why don’t we play Luke Battari. I am serious. He looked ok during CU last year.
He knows the offense better than anyone on the team. And plays tough.
I think he could at least game manage us to a victory with a solid and inspired effort from the D.
I cannot even believe we are in this spot. I can’t believe what has happened the last month. I drank the coolaide. We all did. However, CR health kept this whole team together.
I was at the Baylor game and the entire energy of the stadium and team changed at half when he went into the locker room. We got it back a little @ osu then lost it again when we let them come back in the final 5 minutes. This team and its letters coaches included are just exhausted. It seems whit us given up the ghost. He of course wants the team to succeed but lacks the fight to make it happen.
Beating BYU in my opinion would save our season even if we lost the last 3 games after that. I saw go all in.

I don’t think we can or will beat TDS. Yeah, it sucks, but it’s not because they’re great (although 8-0 is hard to do), but it’s because we have shown absolutely no ability to generate offensive production. Nothing we try works. Some pretty mediocre teams are shutting us down. I just don’t see where we can improve, do you? Maybe Bottari can give us spark, but we’d be asking our 5th option at QB to beat an 8-0 team. I think the team, the coaches, the administration and especially the fan base is grasping at anything they can to will us to a win, but I don’t see it. If we were even an average team, we would have a little hope, but we’re bad right now. Really bad. There’s your Sunday morning ray of sunshine. Sorry.

He’s had no real game reps. They’ll blitz the s**t out of him, or whoever is playing and cause chaos. Our inexperienced QB (whoever it is) and o line won’t be able to handle it. We’ll score 7-14 points in the game, which won’t be nearly enough. It is what it is. I have no reason to expect anything different.

Part of the problem is NIL. Utah invested heavily in Rising despite his propensity to be injured. He was a decent college QB with no real future in the NFL. With that money spent they had to try and ride him. I also think the PAC (except Oregon) was vastly overrated and the records of teams that left reflect that. Wilson is a freshman and he still tries to make what I call “high school” plays. In HS the best player on the field is normally the QB and he can do things at that level that when he tries to do them at the next level he fails. He will learn (hopefully). I use BYU’s Retzlaff as an example. Last year he threw the ball into coverage and this year he has learned what he can and cannot do. I would hope Wilson does that as well. Whittingham should have brought in a backup to Rising so Wilson could spend a year learning.
I hope the fan base learns a lesson as well. Don’t buy the hype before a season and stay off social media badmouthing everyone and every team in the Big XII.
