The only good thing about this is Air Force doesn't have the offense to make us pay for all these mistakes.

But this is freaking ridiculous.


Air Force's offense is built to make us pay for all these mistakes in the 2nd half.

Sawyer is 10-14 with 157 yards. Can't believe we have only 3 points but 3 turnovers will do that

This is a unique game in some ways. We'll have more margin for error in games against Colorado and BYU because we'll have more possessions.

When you get in a possession-by-possession game with an option team, it can cause you to play tight. I think we're seeing that tonight.

It would be absolutely huge to get points here and again after halftime.
how do you figure? CU can score. This is our easiest game the rest of the year
Colorado isn't good. They got murdered by Nebraska last week and have seven points against a terrible Colorado State team tonight.

They may beat us. But it will be close.

I don't disagree with that. But I'd rather go to halftime tied 3-3 and try to clean things up in the second half than be down 24-3, which could be the score against a more explosive offensive team.

This is the worst ball security I've ever seen. Almost like they have vaseline on their hands
Some of the worst security since Butler, PA last July.

Ok, so our best two players on the team are the punter and the kicker?

No, we're not. That's why we'll play a bunch of competitive games against other bad teams. The few good teams in this league will clean up on everyone else.

At least we've got a good FG kicker and punter

We know Dave has no ability. Like zero ability to evaluate talent. He's broken every historical rule that anyone that's played sports at a high or elite level knows and understands.
Mmaybe cuz he never played. Who knows.

Bright side, Sawyer Robertson isn't playing bad. If we clean up the fumbles in the second, we can blow them out.

Must be demoralizing for Air Force to kick our butts up and down the field and still trail at halftime.

You really have to be disgusted with Aranda's talent evaluation skills

The only thing that Finn does better than Sawyer, is take up more NIL space

I'm fully convinced you could give this exact roster to Klieman or Gundy, give them a spring training to work with them, and you would see an entirely different product on the field despite it being the same team.

Absolutely. Our talent isn't where it should be, but I believe that say Matt Rhule, Campbell, Klieman etc could win seven or eight games with this roster. With Dave, it will be four or five max
