Solid post, S&T...Basically what Sanders did at Colorado was the old adage "addition by subtraction"...He literally got rid of all the scrubs that were losing games last year and told basically told them "don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya"! Also read that those scrub players were nothing but a bunch of goddamn crybabies and self-entitled pricks who thought they didn't have to compete for their starting jobs anymore. Sanders put an abrupt end to that nonsense! (translation: He started to hold people accountable)...and not only did he bring an elite pro level assistants and coaching staff but also 4 and 5 star recruits and transfers from other power 5 schools.

To follow up, I ain't saying Colorado is a playoff team, but from what I saw Nebraska is still hot garbage. Offensively the Husker/Gopher game was the polar opposite of Buffs/Frogs.

Good luck this year Manster. Up The Irons!

Colorado might just genuinely be good and a few weeks from now it might seem crazy that Colorado was only a 3 point favorite against Nebraska. I could be wrong but I just don't understand why anyone would want to bet Nebraska here other than purely being contrarian. For me, this should be either Colorado -3 or no bet. Just my opinion.

What we’ve seen a million times is people saying “I can’t understand why anyone would bet on this team” only for that team to win SU as a dog.

Not saying it’s going to happen, but Vegas is a heck of a lot smarter than you and me and that line is where it is for a reason. Close game.

Yeah, that's why it's a no bet for me. The intangibles favor Nebraska big time. They played on a Thursday, so there's extra prep time, meanwhile Colorado is celebrating like they just won a New Year's Day bowl game. But I'm not sure much else is in NU's corner. Colorado is too much of a wildcard at this point in the year. We just don't have enough intel at our disposal. They had a complete roster overhaul the likes of which is unprecedented.

How good is TCU?

How good was Minnesota?

So it's a great spot for Nebraska, but they don't look like a particularly good team. They might be worse than last year... Sims is probably a step back from Casey Thompson, and they don't have a Trey Palmer this year. Perhaps their defense is good? It's hard saying, the Gophers aren't exactly a juggernaut offensively.

Interesting game to observe, but betting it feels like a hand of blackjack.

**T100** · 09-08-23, 12:02 PM

also,,,, the rivalry!

Colorado and Nebraska players are getting a history lesson on a contrived rivalry that became real

https://apnews.com/article/coach-prime-colorado-nebraska-rivalry-56135cd9925c5f0dfb213281d79c7c07

The current football players at Nebraska and Colorado weren't alive when the rivalry between the schools was in its heyday.

**bjb7223** · 09-09-23, 11:47 AM

turned into a defensive slugfest, not what I was expecting

**nyrb** · 09-09-23, 12:07 PM

Agree, a bit of a surprise there

**bjb7223** · 09-09-23, 12:10 PM

Nebraska is improved but the QB Sims is God awful.

Rhule needs to bench this clown.

36 turnovers in his career, he is terrible

**bjb7223** · 09-09-23, 12:43 PM

Nebraska is having a meltdown here to end the half
13-0 Buffs

**pavyracer** · 09-09-23, 12:44 PM

It's Prime Time Baby!

**USCPHILLYGUY** · 09-09-23, 12:44 PM

This fuckin idiot couldn’t even stay in bounds to force them to take a time out

**Eddy Munny** · 09-09-23, 12:48 PM

I hope it works out for you, Nebraska is still in the game, but they are demonstrating why I couldn't put my money on them even though it was a total Nebraska "spot."

**USCPHILLYGUY** · 09-09-23, 12:55 PM

All good Eddy. You win some u lose some

**bjb7223** · 09-09-23, 01:06 PM

**Bostongambler** · 09-09-23, 01:12 PM

TD Sims!!!

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 09-09-23, 01:13 PM

Sims finally did something to benefit Nebraska.

**bjb7223** · 09-09-23, 01:14 PM

What a run by Sims, Huskers back in it
13-7

**JAKEPEAVY21** · 09-09-23, 01:17 PM

At halftime, Deion said they should've been up a lot more?

They easily could've been losing at half...

**Eddy Munny** · 09-09-23, 01:18 PM

Huskers may be inept but they don't quit. I have a feeling they're gonna win this game now.

Basically said the same thing in post #25, Jake!...and I didn't sugarcoat it! I'm not sure if you saw it or not...

My main concern and trepidation with taking Nebraska (+3) in this game (or any other for that matter) is QB Jeff Sims. He's a heaping pile of dogshit and utter garbage. I'm sick and tired of everyone saying how he has "potential" and is a gifted "athlete". Simply put, he's just a running back playing the quaterback position. His football acumen and IQ is right around 25 (borderline idiot level). He's a walking turnover machine always throwing INT's at the most inopportune times. He was the sole reason for last week's loss vs. the Golden Gophers with two very costly interceptions (one as they were deep in the red zone and getting ready to put a TD up on the board). Honestly, I don't why a good college coach like Matt Rhule even bothered recruiting him when there were plenty of other better options available. Looks like it's going to be another very long year for the Cornhuskers who are going to need to rely heavily on the Black shirts (Nebraska's defense) to keep them in most ball games.

Exactly right...he's a running back playing the QB position. Sure, occasionally he will break a run wide open and take it to the house but he can't read defenses, very inaccurate and can't throw worth a shit, and is usually good for 2 - 3 costly turnovers per game...I'm not sure why anyone is shocked or surprised by this...He's did the same exact thing at Georgia Tech for 3 years which is a big reason why the yellow jackets have stunk and been irrelevant the last several years or so.

He’s so awkward in the pocket, I also watched the Gophers game.
