" Our strategy for winning against BISON was simple, we put our WRs and RBs in a 1 on 1 situation with their defense in the backfield.....everybody knows they have some freshman who cannot tackle in a 1 on 1 situation.....Joe Glen"
Football season is back in full swing with a game under our belt. I've got about 20 different things on my mind to discuss about last night, but covering each and every thought in one post is almost overwhelming. I've seen plenty of comments from others that I want to address but am just going to give it a few more days to do so. I'm super happy the Bison are 1-0 to start the 2016 season and am glad we have 2 weeks before our next game as there a lot of things they can do to improve.

CSU local news coverage. Really like their coach - have to believe it is going to be tough for them to keep him.

Punting was a major concern. How many times last year was a punt sort of a game-changer? Especially at home. Really, how many teams are going to drive 85-95 yards on us - I'm not going to go look it up, but I'd be curious how many 85+ yard drives we gave up last year. And how many times did Lacompte (and the coverage team) do better than that by downing the ball on the 1,2, or 3 yard line. Not only does that almost guarantee a non-scoring drive by our opponent, it really can ramp up the crowd too, as the end zone crowd really can get on the opponents when they are pinned that deep. Or flipping the field with a 60 yard punt. We were totally spoiled the last few years, and that must get better.
2 board comments - I wish they would have shut off those advertising only scroll boards or whatever they're called above the 4 corner entrances while the team was getting ready to run in. It stayed way too light with those things lighting up the field. Second, I've never been a fan of things like "make some noise" or whatever showing up on the boards telling us when to cheer. I know when to cheer. I'm guessing most of the fans who have been going to games for years know when to cheer. I've always felt like those have been slightly insulting somehow. Just my opinion. The actual boards themselves look good.
How tough is Copeland? Don't see many guys take a beating like he did and keep making plays.
