Nebraska 28 Colorado 10

I was excited to the see the Colorado game on the tv set during primetime. Once again

I have to say that it is the Primetime effect on Colorado sports that secured

the luxurious time slot. The Cornhusker came out slugging. Colorado's counter punch was non-existing and the first half was a good ole fashion butt whooping.

My overall evaluation of Colorado's first half performance can be summed up

in one word—discombobulated.

40+ transfers on a team that is fighting for its own identity. The Coach has

an identity. His competitive and talented sons have their identity. A superstar

two-way dynamo, needs no introduction. But the rest of the squad remains

faceless. In a system that appears to thrive on personalities I think this defense

needs to develop one quickly. When you are in those trenches there is a pride

about battling the offense with man next to you. It can sometimes be an unspoken

bond between friends other times it's a motto or creed that drives the attitude.

I am not sure if the Buffalo defense has one. I am old school. I remember the

Purple People Eaters. The Wrecking Crew, The Doomsday Defense,The Steel Curtain. I could go on.

It seams to me that this new NIL/money making crop of current

college athletes need to meet with their PR department and

get themselves a rally cry that moves boulders. Pun intended. That Primetime spotlight is

hot and has very high expectations. As a team, inspire yourselves

to go out and meet the threat. Lean on each other no matter what name is on the jersey.

Know your job, do your job and a job well done will reward you with victory.

All the other accolades will fall into place. Winning time will always surpass Prime Time.

but together the possibilities are endless.
