What happened to Boo?

One thing I've seen Boo beat on a lot this year is slants. Now, understand that a slant, for a nickel back or star, is the toughest route to cover in the slot. Because the receiver always gets a free release. So I forgive him for all of those. He's had a couple of REALLY solid games this year.

Something I've noticed is that fans are always really critical of the defensive backs because it's a position you very rarely always win at and they tend to remember every miss and not any of the excellent plays.

His pff score was the lowest on the team by a mile against Kentucky

He should be done in the secondary.

Heupel's Offseason Beard said:
Well I mean, that parts not true. There were a lot of consequences. He lost his starting position and he had to make up all of the workouts he missed before he could even practice. The player committee approved his return also. Don't try to turn this into a "this is on the coaches" moment. Boo is surrounded by bad influences and isn't as committed to football as he should be. Thats on him, not the coaches. Heupel offered a teaching moment and a chance for a young player to earn respect back from his teammates. Unfortunately, the kid is just not as committed to football and is squandering an opportunity.

A football player had to workout as a punishment? What a terrible consequence for a 20 year old. A group of his peers let him back on the team when it set a precedent that poor behavior is rewarded? Surely they couldn't have anything to gain from a teammate holding out for more money. The only one that is a consequence is that he lost his starting spot, but how many snaps did he miss out on those first few games? I don't know, but my guess is it wasn't a significant number less than he would have gotten as the starter. I just don't see any of that as a significant consequence. And obviously Boo didn't learn much from it. If a student fails a test, the first person that should reflect is the teacher.

He got burnt by the KY wide receiver and did not even pursue, then half assed behind a receiver and got a PI call. They took him out and I don't think he got back in except returner against Oklahoma.

Right. Just like Urban Meyer always retired due to "health" every few years once he ran a program aground. His health isn't the reason Colorado sucks. It sucks because Sanders is their coach.

I mean, say whatever you will about his coaching, but the guys health is genuinely terrible. He’s had blood clots, toes amputated, and his bladder removed. He’s not faking it whatsoever.

Absolutely not, unless the entire class fails.
the person that reflects on most is the student that failed.

He had to make up WEEKS of workouts and wasn't allowed to dress out or practice until he made all of them up in addition to other things as laid out by coach and the leadership council. Did you not pay attention during the offseason? He also lost his starting position. You guys are just looking for any reason to be upset at the coaches right now. Admit it. It's Heupel's job to keep the locker room under control and when the other players want to give him a chance, how do you think kicking him off of the team would go? Especially a month before the season starts with no opportunity to bring in a transfer

Don't act like this. The one thing that Heupel has always been good at is keeping the locker room together. It is echoed throughout every player interview when talking about coach.

That is all true. So is the fact that he is not a good coach.

He inherited an awful Colorado program. Won 9 games last year and coached the Heisman winner and his son finished 8th in Heisman. A little unfair to say he isn't a good coach.

Is he as good as the media makes him out to be? Probably not. But I would certainly say he is above average among the 136 head coaches in the country.

And fair caught one where he had a good ten yards to run while fumbling another one.

Heuple post game comments he said they were 2 line drive punts that Boo could have returned but did not. He ended his playing D in the KY game and demoted to just punt returns and now I believe ended his playing days here with the OK game. I would be surprised if he sees the field rest of the season, and for good reasons. He is gone now.
