The Mario Cristobal effect has coaches scared to run it even when they maybe should.

My guy has to be 10+ Keystones deep to be crying like that over this loss.

I will say this you get all your money's worth watching Prime's Buffs. They are a beautiful disaster to watch.

That was easily one of the worst coached games I have ever seen in my life. CU had ZERO situational awareness and the coaches simply did not seem to be watching the field at all. I mean, three all-time examples:

1) CU has been getting completely torched in the second half, Stanford has 3rd and 7 in the red zone, fails to convert but gets a penalty. Rather than take 4th down and the likely FG attempt, they accept the penalty then COMMIT A POINTLESS DEAD BALL FOUL on the next play to wipe out a sack and give Stanford a free first down: Touchdown.

2) Travis Hunter comes back early from a long layoff due to an injury. They not only continued to play him on both sides of the ball, they seem completely oblivious to how badly he was getting cooked by Ayomanor. 300 YARDS! In OT, after easily 100+ snaps, he was STILL in single coverage on the guy! They even had Hunter playing special teams!!!

3) The clock management was fireable by itself, and that's twice now! Against USC they were running the ball up the middle for 2 yard gains down two scores while even the announcers were openly wondering wtf they were doing. Up 3 against Stanford they were snapping over and over with 20 seconds on the play clock. Sure enough they tie on the final play.

If Deion tries to blame anyone but himself this week, the man needs to be roasted like a turkey. That was a massive, massive coaching disaster.

^ Not sure if my man Prime uttered one word all night into that gold-platted headset he was wearing, lol.

Agree with everything IlluminatusUIUC said + the penalties. I lost count of how many illegal substitution penalties they had in the second half.

Prime needs a game management coach, badly.

CU defense is atrocious.

Without watching the game, I figured this could be the outcome. It felt like the CSU game going in, where you can obviously tell they were looking ahead to the bye week and felt they expected to blowout the "inferior" opponent. To get outscored 36-7 in the second half is terrible, especially up 29-0 and 10 with 5 minutes to go. Just looking at the box score, still can't run the ball. I agree that Prime needs a game management coach badly. Up that much and with the new game clock rules, there's no excuse why you shouldn't try to bleed out the clock in the second half of the game.

At this point, they need this bye week coming up and to figure things out. This was a game they had to have and just had a terrible collapse. With the games on the other side of the bye, if they get to 6 wins, that's the best they can do.

**** it looks like I missed a damn good one. I'll catch up in the morning. I paused it at halftime thinking "no way" lol. Guess I'll have something to watch for breakfast hahaha
