I went to the game, had a great time tailgating and it was a really nice atmosphere. I don't feel very good about the way we looked on the field, and I'm not sure how much of it had to do with CSU ... maybe a lot, maybe a little. They didn't cause James to wave his hand on the PR, or Leidner to overthrow wide open receivers, or Holland to drop a wide-open third down pass, etc. etc. (and they didn't cause the infuriating phantom PI that enabled the game to go to OT). But CSU's line play surprised me, especially their d-line. We did not own the line of scrimmage consistently, and that doesn't happen by accident. And they moved the ball at times on our D...scored only 3 points less than the vaunted TCU offense. They're good. They undoubtedly missed Higgins, but considering we had literally 7 or 8 regulars out with injuries I don't put a lot of stock in the injury "what if."
If CSU can put together another 10-win season I'll feel a lot better about this win. Hope you go blow out Colorado this week, for starters, and we can all start feeling better.
