Yeah, the defense is bad so far, but there's a big issue here for the Colorado game. Last year at Utah, team arrived late, warmed up and played. First half was great. D played well but gave up a late TD. Then the wheels came off in the 2nd half. Same thing happened yesterday, except for team came away with the win. Similarities here? Altitude and lack of prep for playing in it. Anybody here play in altitude? Adrenaline keeps you going for awhile. Then a rest period, and then unrecoverable fatigue. Nobody on the team grew up in altitude. Take it for what it's worth. Not an excuse. The D needs to improve.

I pointed this out already. 208 has no clue how to actually be a head coach. He can't hire. Can't manage the travel. He's a child.
I pointed that out too. And Deion's short passing game to move the chains early in the game kept our D on the field for too long. Colorado ran 90 plays. Anyone could see we would struggle defensively in the 4th quarter. Which is what happened. Give Deion credit. It was a great plan. Fortunately we had enough of a lead to withstand the 4th quarter onslaught.
Altitude in phoenix is 1080. In la it's 350.
Yep. Am sure that was the reason
