The Buffs and Huskers will go round-for-round in different ways
No matter how you slice it, Colorado's next game vs. Nebraska is a tale of two different philosophies, along with two different approaches. The bulk of the matchups that favor Colorado are at the skill positions. Whereas most of the matchups that favor Nebraska are the trenches. Even down to the approach to securing players is different. Coach Prime has made his name for dominating the transfer portal. At the last portal window, no Nebraska players opted out.
Most believe in the idea of the game being won in the trenches. However, it is not unheard of for an explosive offense to get over on a steady smashmouth approach. Being able to control the clock is needed However, if Colorado makes this a track meet, it might not go the way the Cornhuskers are expecting. Sanders and the Buffs offense have experience that could outweigh Dylan Raiola's second career start.
The problem this week will be that Nebraska doesn’t have to take what the defense gives them, rushing wise. Last week vs UTEP, Nebraska boasted four rushers that would finish the game over with four yards per carry, including the lead back finishing at just a shade under nine yards per carry. All four backs totaled over 200 yards as a unit. Who is able to run the ball should have a leg up on winning this game.
Shedeur seems to enjoy the idea that he might someday be Tom Brady with swagger. While Dylan Raiola is only recently shying away from his Patrick Mahomes comparisons. Both are very good at sticking in or climbing the pocket to make the good throw. Both last week had eye-popping highlights. While Raiola went for 238 yards and two touchdowns, Shedeur went for 445 yards and 4 touchdowns while only getting sacked once in the game. It should also be noted that one sack was a collapsing pocket.
