Nope to the Goats

Props and Drops from Sunday's Buffs Centennial Cup victory:

PROPS: On defense, safety Ryan Walters and linebacker Jeff Smart were the standouts. Walters blanketed Tony Gonzalez clone Kory Sperry for much of the night. The Goat star was limited to just three catches and was never a factor. Smart took over where departed LB Jordon Dizon left off, seemingly in on every play.

DROPS: The Invesco grass squad has a long season ahead of it. With a full summer of lacrosse, marching band competitions, and Democrats, the green stuff looks a patchwork quilt. You saw a few slips in Sundays’ game, and expect to see Bronco backs and receivers slipping as the year wears on.

PROPS: For all the dick-riding the national media does of Mizzou-star Jeremy Maclin, the Buffs may have the poor man’s Maclin in sophomore Josh Smith. J-Fly made it look easy on his electric kick return for a TD, slipping(thanks, Obama!) on the squibed kick and then blowing the Sheep defense all the way down the field. As long as this staff doesn’t treat “J-Fly” the same way as the previous regime treated Jeremy Bloom (read: under used), he will be poised to have a big year.

PROPS: The heated anticipation of Buffs’ super recruit Darrell Scott was well deserved, as he lead the team in rushing and dished out a few wicked hits in the process. One carry netted only 3-4 yards but I counted eight Goat defenders on the tackle. Couple Scott with “make you shit your pants” Rodney Stewart and you have a potent rushing attack that can keep defenses on their toes. Stewart’s bursts through the holes were impressive until a fumble got him a seat on the sideline for the night.

DROPS: The Denver Police Department treated this game as if they were still targeting anarchists and protesters. They were ever-present, even rolling through the parking 15 deep in riot gear and pepper guns cocked on a DPD Suburban assault vehicle, like a scene from Robocop. Just trying to play some Beano, Mr. Officer, not planning a feces bomb to Joe Biden’s head. The scene was indicative of this game and how its time in Denver is about done. Way too many drunk, really drunk, college kids; massive lines to hurry into the stadium; basically no collegiate feel.
