"It Ain't Intramurals!!!" CU 17, WV 14




Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhaaaaaaaaaa!!! This is one of my greatest personal sports days in a looooooong time. The Buffs squeaked it out, thanks to some of the worst clock management ever witnessed and a sad, lonesome kicker incapable of knocking through a 23-yard PAT. But despite all that, the CU defense deserves its props for allowing a mere 14 points in the face of one of the most malicious running attacks I've ever seen. 

As far as the CU offense, they certainly looked explosive from the jump-off, utilizing the Hawkins passing attack to jump out to a startling 14-0 lead. And then... they decided to never, ever pass the ball again. Not that they weren't capable of moving the chains on the ground.

Rodney Stewart: meet Boulder. Boulder: I give you Rodney Stewart!

Darell Scott and his gut have officially taken a back seat to the home run speed and ankle breaking explosiveness of that other freshman. You know, the one with the shifty 5' 6" frame? He was extremely impressive all night. In no way am I giving up on D-Scott, the talent is obviously there, but Rodney came to camp prepared and has clearly earned the #1 role. Big play potential on the ground: when's the last time a CU team had THAT as a threat. These two freshmen should develop into a deadly thunder and lightning combo.

So rejoice Buff fans! Could and should we have put more points on the board? Probably. But hey, look at it this way: we beat a ranked team with less than our best performance. Ralphie Inc. has returned. I leave you with this:
