II. Why CU wins the North.

Things that could be used by anyone arguing the Buff cause:

1) Five of those eight receivers with 20+ catches return for '05

2) OC/QB coach Shawn Watson. Barnett gets the spotlight; Watson prepares the QB’s and draws up the offense. (Remember how back-up QB’s Pesavento and Moschetti surprised everyone by filling in so well?) And now…

3) A three-year starting QB: Joel Klatt. Experience where it pays bigtime. Already seasoned by two extra years in pro baseball, Klatt is now the mature senior leader. And a better-than-adequate QB.

4) Add a bonus Tight End: After a couple of injury years, Senior TE Quinn Sypniewski (6’ 7”, 265) got a medical year. Now… he and TE Joe Klopfenstein (6’ 6” 245) have been called “the best pair of TE’s in the country.”

CU has some problems (depth-related mostly). But there sure aren’t any problems with the QB-Receiving corps.

Eight starters returning on offense. Ten on defense. In Boulder. Against a coaching staff that regularly seems to have out-prepared us in recent years...

Just some things to think about

 
Now, don't get me wrong, I hate CU. I hate Boulder, I hate Folsom Field, and I hate their fans. But I've got to give them some more credit than that. I don't see them losing to Kansas or A&M, I think they'll be 4-6 by the time we roll in. And, though we should demolish them anywhere, you always have to take the altitude here in Colorado under consideration. Sometimes a team from out of state handles it fine and tramples all over the home team, but just as often it hits 'em like a brick at half-time and they fall apart. That's going to be Nebraska's game to lose, but it's not going to be real hard to lose it.

 
How many WR would we have with 20+ if we had a QB that........

Wait......

The opponents D had .......24!!!!!!!!

There is hope!!!

His name is Zack Taylor

 
With Taylor, Potter, and Bowman, how are we supposed to keep up with the way they spell Zac(k)(h)!!!!!!!! :bang

It could be worse though. I will never be able to spell Ndamukong without looking his name up everytime. :blink:

2 of the CU offensive linemen left the program, per word out of Boulder. Friend of mine called me today and told me this and said they're pretty thin at OL.

 
Pillen, I agree with you. CU's schedule is so tough this year that they'll be riding atop a 3-5 game losing streak when they get to us. I don't see the CU vs NU game determining the North Division anyway. I think the games against Mizzou and Kansas for Nebraska will determine it. CU will be middle of the pack in the North.
