I'd still take Rhule because I think Deion Sanders and Colorado looked better than they really are. Do I think they will beat NU next week? Most likely, however I dont think it'll be a blowout and it'll be because NU beats themselves moreso then they Colorado is head and shoulders better. They caught TCU at the absolute worse time for TCU. First game of the season, trying to replace a ton of talent and a QB who played lights out all season last year. Playing against a team they were 20+ point favorites over. It was the definition of a perfect storm. I mean hell, as I type this Ohio St struggled against Indiana, Georgia is only beating UT Martin by 17 at half, and Texas A&M is only beating New Mexico by 7. Week one is always unpredictable and often games are closer than they should be.
Colorado is talented at the offensive skill positions and at DB. The kind of game NU wants to play counteracts Colorado's game. I fully expect it to be a closer game then a lot of people on here do.
When it comes to Rhule, he has a track record of doing exactly what he's doing here right now, and finishing with double digit wins year 3. Trust the process, and realize Rhule is building a program here, that will be competitive in the BIG.
