    I hear Sade is the becoming the hot name around campus with the ladies. Not saying he is a ladies man, but just the hot topic right now.

    Our special teams are playing very well. Substantial improvement over the last few years. At least that area is not losing the game. The young kickers have been solid.

    Hard to belive CU is averaging 6.1 a carry. Dang. Feels like it’s about 2.1 a carry.

    When you look at the numnbers and really take into consideration the lack of experience with Gleenon, he’s been down right impressive for this stage of his career. I know it’s not fully developed, but his field vision seems to be solid. I acutally think he could slow down just a tad versus having a need to make a quicker decision/throw.
