I have little respect for Sumlin, but it's still hard to believe Az is so bad—down 35-0 at halftime and I'm not even sure they made a first down…Khalil Tate, who ran for 1,411 yards and averaged 9.2 yards per carry in 2017, has run for a total of 22 yards on 15 attempts through two games. He looks like he is lost in Sumlin's offense.
Nate Landman, the Colorado linebacker I was so impressed with in week 1 did it again...all over the field against Nebraska, in on tackle after tackle, caused a fumble, recovered a fumble, intercepted a pass with the game on the line. Montez is a much better QB than I realized. Neb could have still won the game, but a DB made one of those moron plays on fourth and long with Nebraska ahead late in the fourth...pass was incomplete, Neb takes over and wins the game, but wait...the moron unloads on a receiver after the play was over, first down for Colo, they march down and score the game winner. Martinzez looked good for Neb, but I don't see how Frost can continue to run him with nothing but walkons behind him
I bragged on the Utah State kicker last week and he was even better this week. He's a threat as soon as they cross midfield.
Arizona State looked like a very sound, well coached team again. Very impressive. Players play hard every down, no showboating for the crowd, special teams guys always in the right place. They are a threat against anyone.
I like the way Minnesota was playing, hard nosed running attack, good D, well coached, but they lost their best back in the first Q and had already lost the backup. They can't reload so they are going to struggle on O.
It's not just college coaches who struggle the first week in a new job. There are 7 new NFL coaches this year and they went 0-7 SU, 1-6 ATS.
Texas continues to be a puzzle. Tulsa missed three FGs, had two fumbles inside the Texas 50, threw three interceptions, and had three passes dropped in the end zone and still could have won the game.
