He was targeted a couple times but one was overthrown and the other he caught in the endzone but couldnt get his foot in bounds! From what I saw, Colorado's corners were on an Island all day and did a great job sticking with both receivers, the only throw that could be made were back shoulder throws, which Speight is not ready to do yet! I agree with most people, that those two are probably the two best corners our receivers will face all year, and did a better job covering them then even the Florida's all american corners from the bowl game!

I'd have to agree. They got no separation downfield the entire game. It was impressive considering what we did to Florida's future NFL secondary.

Yikes. If we can't figure out how to run the ball effectively against Ohio State, we're going to get steamrolled again. There's no UCF formula that's going to work in that game.
September 19th, 2016 at 8:58 AM ^
I watched a good amount of their game on Saturday night and that defense is all over the place, very fast. We better get some good things going or we may go 11-1.
But I still think UCF hit harder than them.

..and so does Scott Frost.

Keep in mind that Chesson might not yet be 100% physically after his offseason injury. He had a 100-yard game against the OSU secondary last year.
We're also fortunate to have possibly the best receiving TE in the country, as well as a staff that knows how to run an NFL-level passing game.
September 19th, 2016 at 10:17 AM ^
He's fine...they have good corners and we have a QB who's nowhere near Citrus Bowl Rudock yet...who gives a shit. We won and Chesson had a huge impact in other ways (like scoring on a jet sweep.
We found ways to get him involved and into the endzone. They got blown out for 2.5 quarters...they can STFU and for us? Onward.

Lattimore had a really nice pick against Okl. I think he's the real deal, unfortunately.
September 19th, 2016 at 9:47 AM ^
I would say Witherspoon had the most impressive game of all the Colorado CBs.

to Chesson and Darboah a couple of times and needs to be careful with that. Colorado's secondary is damn good and he needs to be smarter with the ball and take what is given you. He was lucky he didn't throw a few picks in that game.
September 19th, 2016 at 8:20 AM ^
I wonder if they time Chesson missed has created a deficit in chemistry with Speight. It seemed like every time Speight was hurried up his reaction was to chuck it at a very covered Darboh. I really hope they get Chesson on the same page because he's as much a game changing talent as Butt or Darboh, maybe more.
September 19th, 2016 at 12:22 PM ^
Curious to hear Brian's analysis, but it seemed like there were a lot of deep balls thrown to Darboh that he adjusted to very poorly. Not great throws, but throws where he didn't do much to help Speight out. I was frustrated Chesson didn't get a few more of those.
Darboh seems like a guy who always gets a lot of fall practice hype, but in games he still looks like a posession receiver to me, whereas Chesson looks like a more polished deep threat.

Desmond King anyone?
"those are probably the best two corners our receivers will face all year"
September 19th, 2016 at 8:33 AM ^
The best pair of corners we face all year.
September 19th, 2016 at 8:38 AM ^
Desmond King plays in zone primarily, so you wont really ever see him on an island all day!
September 19th, 2016 at 9:13 AM ^
Speight had a really rough game. If it wasnt the first read, it wasn't a target. I'm hoping he and Jim have a sit down this week and clean up some things.
September 19th, 2016 at 9:17 AM ^
September 19th, 2016 at 9:25 AM ^
OR.... maybe Speight's Just Not That Good.
I'm sorry, I'd say more, but I'm completely discombobulated by the steaming skinny brunette beauty immediately to the left in the "Dating Beautiful Russians" ad. She's looking right at me so obviously she wants me, and she's amazingly hot and of course she's Russian cuz the ad says she is even though she kinda looks more Italian, and ... frankly guys what were we talking about?
September 19th, 2016 at 9:53 AM ^
So maybe the Russian dating thing is because you clicked on too many "what she looks like now", "top wives of pro athletes", and "the photographer didn't know this would happen" click baits ...

Seems like a fair assessment after 3 games.

Speight looks ok after three games to me. And I've been sober for the past two (2).
September 19th, 2016 at 9:23 AM ^
Speight actually made the perfect back shoulder throw to Chesson in the endzone, put it where only Jehu could get it.
Problem was that corner covered it so well that Chesson couldn't get his foot in. Their corners were all dudes, which is why we kept going back to Butt on that mesh route.
September 19th, 2016 at 9:25 AM ^
Hit the Butt
