Deion doesn't give a shit about that kid or any others on his roster

just himself and his sons

probably accurate.

NDSU just scored and missed the 2point. 31-26 Colorado, 2:19 left.

Let's get a stop NDSU.

WTH?  Official starts the clock while the ball is still in the hands of the ref and hasn't even been set in position yet?  Golderned cheater Buffs.

The starting QB for UNC is the son of longtime Vikings QB Brad Johnson. And he's currently being carted off with an ugly knee injury.

Max Johnson is quite the name choice.

But yeah that looked awful

he's actually amazing. he could be a high 1st round pick at CB or WR. but I think Deion needs to let him just pick one position and stay at it. he's never going to get as good as he could be at one position having to play both...he's probably a good bit better right now at WR than he is at CB and he's just not that physically filled out/big yet.

There's a contradiction with Travis Hunter. It's risky for him to play almost every snap of the game, splitting between WR and CB. But it's precisely because of this overextension and the attention it garners that Hunter is projected as a Top 5 draft pick. Guess who else played both sides of the ball? Dieon. Either he doesn't care or he uniquely identifies Travis Hunter as capable of playing both sides. No other coach would do this - they focus on specialization and limiting snaps.

Speaking of Dieon and coaching, the Buffaloes defense noticeably stepped up in the 2nd Half. After allowing 341 yds and a ton of ToP in the first half, Colorado's defense held ND St to about 100 yards until ND St started playing catch up after Colorado took a two-possession lead and ultimately held on 31-26. It's a second half adjustment indicative of advanced coaching.

In the UNC-Minnesota game, it looks like Minnesota is facing another year without much of an offense. Total Offense nationally ranked 122nd in 2023, 64th in 2022, & 99th in 2021. Piddly offenses are becoming the norm under Pj Fleck. Gophers leading the Tar Heels 14-13 early in the 4th.

Terrible play calling and execution once Minnesota got in FG range

Make it 19-17 Carolina. 

These late period time rules are taking some getting used to.
