Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 10:42:02 GMT

Denver’s starting offensive line quintet has been a stable force over the first nine games of the season.They’ve played all but five snaps together, two that right tackle Mike McGlinchey missed against Miami and three center Lloyd Cushenberry missed Monday night at Buffalo.Heading into a prime time game against Minnesota, though, the run of consistency is in some jeopardy.Starting left guard Ben Powers (foot) missed practice Thursday and hasn’t done any work so far this week. He stretched on his own early during the portion of practice open to reporters, then went into the Broncos’ weight room building.“It was something from the game and we’ll see how he goes tomorrow,” Payton said. “We’ll see where he’s at.”Denver still has time remaining in the week. Payton said the team treated Thursday’s practice like a Wednesday session and will have a heavier-than-normal Saturday slate due to the short week of preparation. It’s possible, as Payton alluded, he’ll feel good enough Friday t...

But the Buffs coaching staff has struggled with clock management, whether it be at the end of halftime (see: a key TD in the Oregon State loss) or the waning moments of the fourth quarter (see: narrow defeats to Stanford and Arizona). It’s proof there’s a learning curve for Sanders, who’s only in his fourth year as a college coach.Finding a balance: CU’s lack of a run game is killing them. CU had 70 net rushing yards on 30 attempts in last week’s loss to Arizona, an average of 2.6 yards per carry, while the Wildcats ripped off 207 rushing yar...

Deportation of immigrants would destroy our economy as many of these people are laborers in jobs others wouldn’t ever want to do. As president, he alienated so many of our allies that his only backers would be Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un. Climate change solutions would be decimated and our future would be in the hands of oil barons.Those in this country who value freedom and the right to vote need to step up and voice their opinions, get involved in the election and ensure we do not have four more...
