He still calls himself a “young brother”? He must not have caught a glimpse in the mirror when he had that grey beard a few days back.
But you do have to appreciate the line “I don’t fly fish, but I am fly when I fish.”

Far be it for me to even give the appearance of defending Colorado… but I can’t take these people gloating over CU’s spring game attendance seriously when they say “Yeah, the weather was bad BUT…”
You said it. The weather was bad. It rained all day in Boulder. Nebraska’s attendance would have also been reduced in those same conditions. Getting half a crowd in the rain would be pretty standard across the country for a spring game, I’d imagine. (I’m guessing since we are us, NU’s attendance would have still been better than half.) But these writers just mention it then blow it off for what they want to be the reason. You don’t have to try that hard to mock Sanders’ program.

I won’t pretend to know what Nebraska mostly runs and I know this is an apples to wagyu beef comparison. I played OL in the NAIA so know nothing about coverages, but our d ran 3-3-5 but switched to 3-4 because of how heavily dependent we were on cover 3 running 3-3-5 and then getting torched defensively by any team capable of completing 4 verticals, which were not many in the NAIA.
Nebraska does seem to be way more versatile in their alignments than we were in our base 3-3-5.

I think the smarter thing for CU to consider is ways they can take back possession of the football without Jeff Sims playing QB for Nebraska.
They don't though. If you read the CU fans and Denver media reports of that game, they consider that NU game one of the best CU defensive performances in recent memory. They bragged about the turnovers the CU defense forced.
The articles imply that they think that Jeff Sims would have thrown for 350 yds and run for another 150 were it not for the heroic efforts of the CU defensive players.

Ironically, there was no bigger indictment of Nebraska's offense than that football game.
Maybe we are heavy. I do know we run it a bunch and saw it a bunch this weekend. But we’ll also do a lot of man (1-high coverage) or pattern match.
Don’t bet on it, but when an LB matches with a WR pre snap we’re probably in cover 3.

That's cute. Meanwhile, Raiola is using his time off to work with Mahomes and his trainer.
