Cool man thanks for info.

I must admit I don't know too much about him but hopefully he can make CU into a legitimate perennial power like they should be, Barnett never seemed like he was in control of the team, in a few years hopefully his recruiting will pay off

that was a good move IMO to call McCartney--he had some great teams, i hope--PRAY, that the buffs go back to the success they had with the option, (eric bienemy (sp), salaam, darian hagan, stewart) they had big plays all the time

I think that in order to recruit blue chippers on offense, for better or for worse, you have to run a pro style offense,which Hawkins does (well, he runs more of a spread).

All kids like to think they might have a chance at the NFL, and they want to go to place where they think will give them the best trainig for that. Option offenses don't do that for skill position players.

That is a good point, I never thought of it that way.

I envy watching good option teams since I believe it is one of the most effective plays you can call at the college level.

I agree, when you think of those dominate option teams, when ran correctly, its unstoppable, some Sooners and Huskers teams' dominated teams with their option and CU in their national championship run were option teams as well...

I think you have seen a huge change to a more "pro-style" game, really like what Jared said, showing off the skilled positions... I'm an old fashion (GB style) pounding the ball and PA over the top, but if Hawks new system works, I'm all for it!

Yeah, whatever works I am for it, I just miss the days when CU had QB's that could run and pass at will, ever since McCartney left it seems they have gone more with passing, I remember going to all the games in Boulder and every time hagan or stewart started the option the crowd knew that it was a chance for a big play---many times 80 yards for a TD! I remember watching nebraska dominate games--including in the national championship games with the option alone
