Three areas of concern for the CU Buffs’ Week 3 game at Minnesota

These three areas give us even more of a pause heading into Minnesota

Once again, Colorado needs to put players in a position to succeed

Both TCU and Air Force attacked the outside of the defense in the running game while finding little resistance on the edges. CU coaches need to recognize this attack pattern and adjust the defense to slow down the outside run.

This goes double for the offense. The passing attack has been mostly vanilla, for now. JT Shrout and Brendon Lewis have relied on a mix of short curl routes with maybe one or two downfield attempts per game. The Buffs would benefit from mixing in a more advanced route tree with elements of the screen game. Get the ball to the playmakers in space.
