on a side note.....Kansas State almost got beat by Massachusetts
I half expected that though.
Honestly, I think everybody was so high on CU because of the mass amounts of injuries they sustained last year and because it gave people high expectations. But, as I saw coming, those healthy players really didn't change much. I think they have some really good talent on their team, but coach Hawkins is just not the right guy for that program. Maybe we are speaking too early, maybe Hawkins will salvage the season?
Right now, I'd say he won't though.
Cody Hawkins is not a good quarterback either. He forces too many balls and seems to concentrate too hard on dropping back into the pocket than actually looking down field. I watched the replay on FSN last night, and there were multiple times that he would hike the ball, turn around, run about 10 yards back, and then spin around to find his receivers. Who the hell taught him to do that?
And I don't blame the CU faithful for acting the way they did, this time. That was just an embarrassing game after all the expectations that team had. Maybe they went overboard in some areas, but I think any fan base would be pissed off after a performance like that.
Final side note, I don't think this is one of those years that CU plays Nebraska close. Four years ago we won 30-3, three years ago 37-14, the next year was the extremely lopsided offensive shoot out, and last year we only played each other close because CU was fighting for a bowl game and emotions were high with the seniors leaving.
