Um, yeah. It seems that the rebuilding project is yet a work in progress. The Buffs traveled to the desert Saturday and received a sound beating at the hands of ASU. The Buffs had plenty of chances and lucky breaks early but they could not mount any real offensive firepower while the defense couldn't slow the Sun Devil offense.
The worst part of it was that suddenly the CU receivers developed an horrendous case of the dropsies. Patrick Williams who a week ago looked to have corrected his pass catching deficiencies reverted to the old, bad, ball aversive tendencies. Good Patrick - please come back. Bad Patrick - begone inept demon whose ball dropping causes me to die a little with each bumbling miscue.
Cody looked more like a freshman this week than last. He had some moments when he had thrilling, needle-threading deep strikes to stone handed receivers. But at other times, he made mistakes and ugly, stinking throws. So I'm still on the bandwagon and I grant him the right to play like a freshman because, hey, he's a freshman.
Also the defense which was good early, turned into a tackle-missing, soft-zone playing girlified mamsie pamsie unit once Rudy Carpenter heated up. This must be corrected, kids.
So to review: Saturday's Buff performance - Not Good. My love for same Buffs - un-dieing.
