I'm so glad we don't have that vanilla offense that Dorell coaches. Keep Kelly until he loses his desire to innovate.

If Dorrell could

Coach like he maintains his fitness he would still be Westwood. A few five penalties hurt early drives for the Buffs.

They are playing solid D. Rooting for the Pac 12 while I still can… and the former Bruins of course.

close to end of 3rd quarter, colorado is driving after their defense gave up a bunch of yards/time to TCU's offense.

4th and 5 around TCU's 40 and Dorrell punts. Nets 20 yards on the punt because the punt got to the endzone.

Now TCU is driving on Colorado and will probably score.

second half

Watched the second half... some things I noticed.
Colorado's play calling didn't have a flow.

Example, they ran a Sean McVay staple which is 11 personnel 3 layered crossing routes with the offensive line slanting the other way.

This is usually setup with a heavy dosage of outside zones in the same direction of where the offensive line would slant.

However, they never set it up.
So they ran that play naked and of course the defense wasn't fooled.
The defender immediately saw outside leverage and just followed the TE and WRs.

Then they ran a bunch of crossing routes against zone coverage. Should have checked off of that. Either the OC didn't recognize zone or they aren't at the stage where the offense has learned to check off.

Last few drives are throw aways since they needed to pass on all downs as they were so far behind.
But even in those drives, the layering of the receivers didn't look right. Looked like they were attacking 2 layers instead of optioning for 3 or more layers. Like really no check downs to at least move some of the LBs up. Instead the LBs just sat in the intermediate zone.

Maybe 1st half was different where they established the run and were successful on setting up plays. I don't know, I didn't see the first half. But looked like in the second half when the running game wasn't going (But more like the passing game wasn't going)... then they have no setup and were just hung out to dry on passing plays.
