Greetings all. Thanks for joining me tonight. Let's get to it.

This is easy. This team needs more playmakers at wide receiver. It also could use some more good sized cornerbacks and the offensive and defensive lines are always a priority. I'd say defensive linemen are just a little bit more in need this cycle, but this year has proven you can never have too many good offensive linemen.

I think it doesn't really matter who starts cause coach Hawkins has already said both Tyler and Cody will play. I think Tyler will probably play about half the time once again, unless he really has things rolling, then coaches will stick with him.

No.

No. If you read my Big 12 power rankings Tuesday morning you will see I have the Buffs at No. 7 ahead of both those teams. But I don't think there is a big difference between them. I think CU's defense is better than the other two.

Not really, but I do think the Wildcats had time to adjust and were playing better defense at the end of the game.

I think it's realistic. I don't know how much it will happen, but I don't know why coaches wouldn't want to go with that look sometimes.

For the most part I do. I think the Buffs will have a tough time outscoring the Mizzou offense. I think the defense will have to play lights out and hold Missouri under 30 points. I'm not sure this defense is that good, despite a solid outing against KSU.

No, I wasn't surprised. I have found Darrell to be a straight shooter who says what he means. I don't think he meant it in a disrespectful or insubordinate way. I just think he was being honest. If you're hurt, there is only so much you're going to be able to take from someone who is questioning you before you do just decide to deal with it yourself. I do think Darrell should play through it unless it's too bad to play at all, because if he sits out every time he has a bad bruise of a sore joint or muscle, he's going to miss about 2/3 of his career.

I haven't heard of any commitments, but I do think a few of those guys really like CU. Colton Nash and Bryce McNeal could really help this team.

I would agree with that assessment, but I don't think they are emphasizing it more because they have already emphasized it quite a bit. It's how they have been since they got here.

Josh is a little sore, but he's OK. Dan Hawkins said there were no significant new injuries coming out the KSU game. Most of the guys who play on a regular basis are dealing with some sort of issue at this point in the season.

McCoy would get my vote, if for no other reason than the fact he beat Bradford in the head-to-head matchup.

Hansen spent much of the first part of the season as the scout team quarterback, meaning he was running the other team's plays each week. He is familiar with most of the CU offense, but it will be a few weeks before he feels really solid with the majority of it.

The Broncos got nothing on me.

I think they are exactly who we thought they would be. Really. I think they could have had one more win right now, but we knew they would be young and building and struggling each week to find ways to win against powerful offenses and veteran quarterbacks in the Big 12. That's exactly what has happened. No one back in July looked at the roster and the scheduled and figured the Buffs would be bowl eligible right now. Anyone who says they did is a liar.

They have been splitting Darrell out on occasion since training camp. We haven't seen much of it in games, but maybe they will do more of it down the stretch here. I think it would be a good idea to get the guy in space. He has good hands, too.

It all depends on how Hansen develops in the passing game. He threw an interception the other day that people would have killed Cody for throwing. He can't make those kinds of mistakes consistently in the future and expect to win the job, unless Cody continues to make them, too. I do believe he has more ability to make plays on his own than Cody and that will lead to him becoming the starter. When? I don't know. Maybe soon. Maybe next year. I think Ballenger has to raise his level of play in practice to get a shot and then produce when he gets it. He can still contribute to this program and this year's team.

Could be. I'm not really going to argue the point. I just see CU as a little better overall right now. I think any of those three teams could beat the others on a given day. Very similar to me.

They need to be unpredictable and have players making plays at all positions. It's really that simple. They're getting better as the season goes on. I think a big key is the offensive line improving and getting the running game going each week. That helps the quarterbacks a ton.

Because Speedy has proven he is the best guy to be on the field at this point. Scott has been hurt and hasn't found his comfort zone at this level yet. I still think he will find it at some point and become a very good player.

Like I said earlier, I think the line is getting better. I do think Hansen will be the starter at some point in the future and it would not surprise me if it was this season. He's a really solid young player. The line also will get better. I think Goree might become a starter by the end of the year at guard and that will help. He's a load.

Sure they can. Part of the reason they were wearing down in the second half during the three-game losing streak was because the offense was going three-and-out so much.

I don't know because they can't talk about specific recruits like that. I'm sure there is probably a little surprise in some quarters, but just because he is the son of a favorite old Buff, doesn't mean he sees himself in black and gold.

Get a grip

I think both are possibilities. It's also possible the Buffs could win six games and stay home. Who knows. I'd like to cover another bowl game though. I don't think 6-6 is a sure thing. The Buffs could lose the rest of their games. I would give them an outside shot at winning them all as well.

I think it's now obvious there is no nepotism happening. I don't have any access to recruits on official visits. I have to wait to get in touch with them after they have left campus. Haven't heard much from the most recent group.

That's okay. Nebraska fans are people, too.

I never said that. Considering the final score last year had both teams over 50 points, i would agree that is would be surprising to see one hold the other to less than 20. But I don't know why it couldn't happen.

I got nothin else either. We'll make this the last question. Thanks to everyone for playing, yes, even the obnoxious but entertaining Husker fan.

I'm taking Missouri to win, but the Buffs to play well. Not sure of a score yet. I just don't see the Tigers losing three in a row.
