Colorado receiver, Tyler McCulloch secured 9 passes for 143 yards and a score Saturday, coming up big time in an early rivalry game played a mile above sea level.
The Rocky Mountain Showdown was a mix of greatness and sloppiness for the Colorado Buffaloes. In a weekend where the Buffs secured a couple of recruits to scholarships, they were able to win against in state rival Colorado State 56-32.
This game featured a record breaking performance in passing yardage, and the Sophomore threw for 6 TD's. GREAT right?? Unfortunately, Wood also threw 6 interceptions. A record breaking performance that somehow left us more questions than answers as to how he will play the rest of the year.
The running game? Outside of a couple of bright plays, it left a little to be desired.
And the defense that played so well against Nebraska? Well, they were torched through the air throughout the game for 369 yards and 3 TD's. They also dropped what seemed to be a dozen sure interceptions my 9 year old could make.
All of this disaster will quickly be forgotten as the Colorado Buffaloes are 2-0. Better yet, the Buffs are 2-0 with wins against Nebraska and Colorado State. It was a win this week by 24 points. Where Colorado led in every statistical category with the exception of INT's. 688 total yards. 5-5 in the red zone.
Are there still questions? Are the fans in Boulder cautiously optimistic? You betcha. But for now, Colorado is 2-0, heading into their conference opener against Oregon State with a little bit of swagger.

DAMN! Lost a heart breaker.
Duke 34
Wake 33
Had the ball 4th and 10, down 28-26, ball at the 2 yard line. I make my adjustments, run a hot route on my TE, because their LB'ers were cheating up a bit. Chuck it down field, he catches it and takes it to the house. 98 yards for the score, extra point is good. Now, my achilles heel so far this season has been my secondary. They have sucked, badly.
Sure enough, they have the ball, 6 seconds left. Duke's QB heaves it toward the endzone, and his WR comes up with the ball, it's a TD.
1 second remained, and I needed a miracle, but didn't get one.
Back to the drawing board I suppose, even though I feel my performance from last week to this week has improved significantly, I still have ZERO wins. Here's to hoping my secondary finds some success in shutting down other team's receivers.

I thought for sure, with the way my offense was able to move the ball, that I'd be able to pull of the win. I guess the back-breaker was when I had the ball at the 5, had 4 chances to put it in the endzone. On 4th and 1 from the 1, I ran a Power O to the right, and the OLB came up and made the huge stop. Had I kicked a FG there, I would have ended up winning. Oh well, there's always next time.

Looking forward to my matchup with Middle Tennessee State after playing the #9 and #5 teams in back to back weeks to open the season. Phew.

Unless they're visiting, nope. The fluid changes to your team ratings (playing style, prestige, position usage, etc) doesn't take effect until we advance.eobuck;2183851; said:
