OK, I'll do my best. Thanks to everyone for joining me tonight.

Let's look at the reality. Yes, the Buffs blew a chance to beat FSU and get a good road win, but at the beginning of the season, most of you would have been fine with a 3-1 start. It's not like all hope for a bowl or even a Big 12 Conference title is lost. Though, I'd say the Big 12 title is a long shot.

How was that?

I've asked this question over and over the past couple weeks and everyone swears Scott is fine and Stewart is just more playing better. It's hard to argue with the results.

Whether they opt to run more will have a lot to do with how well they are able to run behind the patchwork offensive line they have now. This offense was young to start the season and now it's even more inexperienced.

I understand some of the frustration with Cody and some I think is unfounded. Regardless, I think the reality is that the guys behind him have no experience and were not able to beat him out in spring and fall camps. So why would they suddenly be better options now? No one was calling to have Cody replaced when the team was 3-0 last week. Nobody sane anyway.

We don't know the answer to that just yet. I think he has to go through the legal process with his DUI first and that could be awhile. He remains suspended indefinitely. I don't know that he would be playing over any of the guys who are available regardless.

That's a tough question because reporters never know all that goes on in terms of preparation. I see these guys practicing special teams stuff way more than I saw the Buffs do it under Gary Barnett, and they stunk it up in the kicking game again. From my view, it's not like they're totally disregarding parts of the game. I think preparation from week to week always changes in some ways, so, yes, I do think there will be some stuff that changes, but not the basic message and approach.

I think it's a risk-reward deal with him right now. They work with him in practice trying to get him to focus on securing the ball first and knowing when and where to field kicks. They put him out there in the games feeling like he has a good grip on things and then he sometimes becomes the catalyst and sometimes fumbles. The first kick he fielded this year was the first one he had returned in his life in a game, so you have to keep this all in perspective. He did have some punt return experience in high school, but very little. I think when Jason Espinoza comes back, Smith might just be the kickoff return guy and Espinoza will handle punts.

Don't commit turnovers. Stop the run. Run the ball well enough that Cody isn't constantly under the gun to pickup third-and-long and no stupid penalties. They have a chance with that formula every week.

I'm not sure I understand the line of thinking. Why would a guy from another position be better suited to come in and play instead of someone who has been recruited to play there and has been practicing and attending all the position meetings there? It's getting thin, but there are still some capable guys doing the blocking.

My crystal ball says... wait for it ..wait for it...

...who knows?

It obviously would have helped, but Cody hitting an open guy and the defense filling its gaps better all would have helped too. It's all woulda, coulda, shoulda really

I've seen improvement in terms of his completion percentage but he's throwing too many interceptions and that's a step backward. I don't think he has reached his potential. I don't ever think sophomores have reached their potential. I think that is pessimism at its finest.

It's never a good idea to do anything a majority of the time. I don't think this is Chris Brown and the the 2002 offensive line. I do think it might be good to put the runningbacks in the situations and plays they are most comfortable executing, but you always have to push them to learn more and expand the playbook. This team isn't going to just line up and blow opponents off the ball right now under the current circumstances.

I'm on the call all the time, I don't ask questions of coach Hawkins because I have access to him the night before and usually have my questions answered then.

I'll have to ask about the letters and numbers on Cody's arm. Check my blog for an answer later in the week.

I saw some of that game as I was writing in the pressbox on Saturday. I do Big 12 power rankings in my column every Tuesday. I've had the Buffs ahead of the Corn all year. Cu is No. 7 this week and Nebraska is No. 8. I just can't believe in a team until I see it go on the road and play, Nebraska doesn't do that until the middle of October.

I do think he likes it here. I think he has been frustrated at times with the bureaucracy at CU, but he also likes the challenge of it and the Big 12. At this point, I think he's going to have to win some more games before he gets a lot of other opportunities at other BCS schools. I don't think there are a lot of places he would rather be. Maybe Notre Dame, Oregon, Cal, Washington?

I wouldn't agree with either. The play calling was good enough to get a few guys wide open, but the quarterback and receivers couldn't connect. It also gave both Scott and Stewart chances for long runs, but they didn't make the right reads or cuts. I don't think the outcome of any football game is ever totally on one guy. That's just me.

Yes, the team charters flights out of DIA and leaves the day before the game, except for bowls. I do not travel with the team. I fly commercially the day before and come back on Sunday mornings.

Well, not so much lately with the Noles sort of struggling a bit and the economy taking a tough turn. They have played regular season games there in the past but usually against other teams from the southeast. Last year there were 85,000 for the Alabama-FSU game in the same stadium.

They did try to do that. It didn't work.

I think Riar does both and will do more in the passing game as the season goes along, but he is definitely the best blocker at tight end right now.

Kendrick won't talk about why he is leaving so I have to go by what the coaches say, and that is he had some personal issues with his family he felt like he needed to focus on.

Last question this week folks. Thanks for participating.

I do think either OU, Mizzou or Texas will be in the BCS title game. Those are my top three in the Big 12 right now.

Thanks again everyone.
