The linemen should take care of that.  
If you can influence your opponent's run game, then you can tend to make them more one-dimensional.  If you know they're going to pass, you can defend against it more effectively.

CU-Oregon had about 5 million actual COLLEGE football fans watching.

FIFY

People who don't care about football at all, don't even know who Deion Sanders is.

But I'd certainly agree that Coach Prime is bringing in lots of NFL types, from the standard dirty unwashed NFL masses, to the degenerate gamblers, to the fantasy football dorks.  They think he's a righteous dude.

4-3 vs 1-11 ain't bad. 
Even if they limp home 5-7, that's a great first year, considering. 
And all they need is some linemen.
true. Colorado was truly awful, and the turnaround he's already pulled off has been drastic. however losing to that terrible Stanford team up 29-0 is still inexcusable. That's on Prime for a complete second half coaching collapse.

That defense is ass cheeks and they need A TON of help on the lines of scrimmage on both offense and defense, that's probably going to take a couple of seasons of recruiting/portaling/developing to actually build. Don't count on that any time soon. OL and front 7 on defense takes time to physically develop those dudes.

Travis Hunter is also pretty overrated/overhyped imo. Terrific athlete and makes splash plays but the kid is 170 pounds soaking wet if you add concrete blocks in his shoes- he's kind of a pussy and gets slapped around like a red headed step child and physically punked out by bigger WRs- he's still pretty raw at CB. He needs to put on 20 pounds of muscle and stick to CB. Enough with this playing 150 snaps a game. He's never going to develop as a CB and reach his full potential if he doesn't switch to the position full-time and put on at least 20 pounds. He's talked about endlessly like he's the best CB in CFB. He's not. Not even close. He's not fit to carry Will Johnson's jockstrap right now.

Denver area getting 6-8 inches of snow on Saturday, with wind chills in the mid 20s.  Lucky for CU they are on the road at UCLA.  Otherwise Prime might resign by halftime

Well, at least his son isn't the Defensive Coordinator

May be an image of 1 person, playing football and text that says 'WNE LAST IN FBS Colorado ranks 130 out of 130 FBS teams in yards per game allowed'

I don't understand the hate.
Is it because he's flashy?  He's been flashy for 35 years!  If he was toned-down, people would hate on him for flip-flopping.  It's stupid.
Is it because he replaced CU's entire roster?  That roster sucked.  And not just normal suckage, but all-time sucked.  They had the 4th-worst scoring offense AND THE worst scoring defense last year.
Only a handful of teams have a +30 ppg differential.  The elite of the elite, all-time.  And last year, CU had a -30 ppg di ff. 
They were as bad as '95 Nebraska was good.

He's got them to 4-3.  It's a great coaching job.
His defense sucks hard.  They're likely going to lose almost all of their remaining games.
But they don't all-time suck anymore.  They have talented players and a future.  They're SO much better now.

But people want to hate. 
Weird.
