Colorado Blowouts

It’s been a frustrative flavor in Boulder. Colorado struggled on both sides of the chunk this time of year and was dominated past their opponents in every facet of the game. The anemic offense only when scored 17-plus points twice this season and averaged a paltry 13.4 points per game. The awful vindication allowed 43.2 points per game.

Colorado was outscored by 25-plus points inwards the firstly four games of the season. Overall, they were outgunned by at to the lowest degree 23 points per spirited inward their v losses. It’s almost unsufferable to win games when you’re spotting your opponents trinity touchdowns.

Dorrell benched a lot of his ex-serviceman starters and gave freshmen a shot. But still that desperate run didn’t work. CO used iii starting quarterbacks this season: Brandon Lewis, JT Stoud, and Robert Owen McCown.

Lewis started last season, but he struggled and was benched inwards Week 2 inwards favour of Stroud. Stroud spent ii seasons as a backup with the Tennessee Vols before he entered the change portal and headed to Boulder. Stoud also struggled before Dorrell gave true fresher Owen McCown a shot.

McCown’s father, Josh, played in the NFL for over a decade. The younger McCown got his crack in a 49-7 blowout red ink against the Gopher State Gophers and completed quatern passes for 57 yards.

Who Wants to Coach the Buffs?

Rick George, Colorado’s athletic director, won’t name a full-time top dog manager until after the harden ends. Whoever gets the chore will be tasked with leading Colorado River to their number 1 bowlful win since 2004.

The next leader of our football game programme testament be someone who is an incredible motivator, someone who has a passion for winning and casting young men into leaders both on and off the field,” said George.

Matt Rhule from the Carolinas Panthers could get the first NFL chief manager to turn a loss his chore this season. Rhule helped move around Baylor around during his skimp inward Waco, and he’s rumored to paying back to the collegial ranks next season.

Urban Meyer is relieve without a job after a disastrous ravel endure harden with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Meyer is the leading prospect to put back Herm Edwards at AZ State, but he could also question with Colorado if he wants to coach-and-four inwards the Pac-12.

Troy Calhoun, the head up coach-and-four at Air Force, was on the shortlist for the Colorado task backwards inward 2020, but missed out to Dorrell. In 16 seasons with Air Force, Calhoun’s track record is 115-76 and he’s led the Falcons to 11 trough berths.

Matt Entz led Frederick North Dakota State to two FCS national titles inward his first off trio seasons at NDSU. There’s a unspoilt chance Entz lands a head coaching task with an FBS schooltime next season. He’d follow a sound conniption at Colorado.

It’s a long shot, but Centennial State should devote Eric Bieniemy a call. Bieniemy, the OC with the Kansas City Chiefs, won a subject title as a star running rearwards with Colorado River plump for in 1990. Perhaps George could persuade Bieniemy to take to Boulder and help restore Colorado to its former glory?
