As the team prepares for number two
ranked Oregon, they have finalized replacing the Fresno St. game and the
players are keeping an upbeat attitude after a harsh loss and facing another
one.
§
Reschedule! Rick George finally got it done with
about his 17th choice and Charleston Southern University (CSU) is
coming to town on October 19, when CU was originally set for a bye week. CSU (5-0) is an FCS team but the NCAA has
already granted CU a waiver to be bowl eligible if they find a way to win six
games, even with two FCS teams.
§
Review of the tape: I couldn’t force myself to re-watch the
Oregon St. this week. BoulderDevil said
he did watch the tape and that Daniel Munyer’s personal foul, where he shoved a
Beaver defensive lineman hard backwards to the ground, seemed to be happening simultaneously with the whistle, not
after which had been my original reaction. I wonder how the coaches reacted to the tape,
since they had benched Munyer the rest of the game (MacIntyre has said Munyer
will still start but that Kelley will get some playing time.)
§
Injuries: Everyone outside of Ford, J. Irwin and
J. Webb should be good to go.
§ Practice
notes: MacIntyre
said team was ready to go and right back on the feet, nobody was dragging or
trying to get out of practicing, everyone had energy. True frosh LB sensation Addison Gillam said
meetings were focused and people were taking more notes than ever.
§ MacIntyre praised the play of
numerous freshmen who are redshirting, but are helping with the “show team”
(scout team). Mentioned were RB Phillip
Lindsay, WRs Bryce Bobo and ElijahDunston, o-lineman Sam Kronshrage and
d-lineman Derek McCartney and Markeis Reed.
§ Oregon
Connections:
When the entire staff was turned over, one grad assistant and former CU player
was left out in the cold with many others, but landed on his feet in
Oregon. Cha’pelle Brown is coaching the
secondary for the Ducks and having success with a talented group.
§ Honors,
mentions and notables: P-Rich
still leads Brandin Cooks and the rest of the nation in most receiving yards
per game at 162.4.
§
2014 Recruiting: The basketball has a couple of big
recruits coming in this weekend, literally and figuratively, including 7’0”
center Thomas Welsh. Not sure about the
football squad-I am guessing unless the want to show some potential for
immediate playing time, they are not hosting any prospects for this game.
§
Pacific Takes fantasy league: Last week was abysmal (and in the real
sense of the word, not the Joey definition) and I hope P-Rich and the rest of
my team recovers. I lose Thomas for at
least this week but I do get surprise Jordon James, UCLA RB who is third in the
Pac12 in rushing yardage per game, but that is also good for fifth in the
country.
§
I
grabbed Michael Adkins, hoping he will get enough touches this week to help
make up for the loss of Thomas.
