    Noles Run Over Buffs While Fans Left To Ponder The Passing Game


    The Noles won on the ground and the defense for the most part played a great game:

    Offensive Line: Rick Trickett's offensive line allowed no sacks and blocked well enough for Smith to run wild.
    Grade: B+

    Running Game: Antone Smith had a great game that saw him rush for 154 yards.
    Grade: A

    QB
    : Ponder completed just 10-of-22 passes for 119 yards and a freak interception. He does not look confident.
    Grade: C

    Offensive Coaching: Fisher decided that the run was the way to go against Colorado. One dimensional football however will get a team beaten down the road.
    Grade: B-

    Receivers
    : Poor showing by receivers but that in part could be Fisher's game plan also. Parker and Surrency had no catches. Carr had only 3 catches for minimal yardage and no TD.
    Grade: C

    Defense and Defensive Coaching: Good defensive effort although there were some breakdowns on Colorado TDs. Secondary continues to be a question mark.
    Grade: B+

    Penalties: Another horrible day for the Noles.Will they ever learn?
    Grade: F

    Special Teams/Kicking Game: Special teams was excellent as they had a blocked punt and a kickoff return for a TD. Gano was perfect on both extra points and field goals.
    Grade: A
