Colorado Buffaloes Nebraska Game recap and Colorado State Preview

·34 min·2 clips

For third and three, the offense should be a quick slant, not a five-to-seven drop step.

1. The AwfulGuy Sports News Podcast focuses on Colorado Buffaloes football, Nebraska, and a Colorado State preview. 2. The host, who calls himself "the Awful Guy" and says he is the "writer of the Awful Sports News," is the only speaker and frames the game analysis. 3. The episode asks what Colorado did against Nebraska, what still needs cleaning up, and why the Colorado State matchup feels personal. 4. Colorado beat Nebraska 36-14, and the host says the opening series looked like a stalemate before the Buffs "totally destroyed Nebraska." 5. Nebraska's defense disguised blitzes and dropped into coverage, and the host says Shador Sanders was sacked about six to seven times. 6. Sanders looked rushed early, held the ball too long, and took sacks instead of moving through his reads quickly. 7. The host criticizes Colorado for calling 10- to 15-yard concepts on third-and-three instead of quick slants. 8. He says Colorado's offense should "take what they give you," especially when Nebraska started respecting the long ball. 9. He also says Colorado's RPO work looked weak early because Sanders did not seem to sell the handoff or run threat. 10. Nebraska's offense struggled too, with Jeff Sims described as a runner who was not effective enough as a passer. 11. The host says Nebraska was forced into a "pass to survive" state after Colorado's defense harassed the backfield and stopped run plays. 12. Xavier Weaver is singled out for 10 catches and 170 yards, and the host calls Colorado's receiving group a sign that there are "no shortage of dogs in the dog kennel." 13. The host says Sanders later showed elusiveness, used his legs, and helped Colorado escape repeated three-and-outs and four-and-outs. 14. He compares Sanders' downfield patience to "Tom Brady-like" willingness to wait for a play to unravel before throwing. 15. On Nebraska, the host says the team lacked rhythm, changed formations often, and never made its RPO game fully carry the offense. 16. He repeatedly says "Jeff Sims" is "not that guy" as a passer, while still crediting Nebraska's willingness to adjust. 17. The tone is conversational, repetitive, and opinionated, with football terminology mixed with analogies about basketball, salesmanship, and pace. 18. The format is a solo sports rant with long digressions, quick reversals, and a preview segment that folds in comments about Coach Norvell and Deion Sanders. 19. Listeners who like Colorado football, Shador Sanders, and scheme talk would get the most from this episode. 20. Listeners wanting a tight, edited recap without side remarks about rival coaches might skip it.
