CU Buffs, Coach Prime recruiting with “different level of energy” than rivals Nebraska, CSU Rams, experts say

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:30:50 GMT

BOULDER — Zach Hilbers has entertained saints, sinners, swindlers, senseis, sharks, sages and savants. But he’d never seen any coach do what CU Buffs defensive line coach Sal Sunseri did a few months back while he was recruiting Brandon Davis-Swain.“He had Brandon do hand-fighting drills with him in my home room,” Hilbers, the football coach at West Bloomfield (Mich.) High School, recalled with a laugh. “He was just like, ‘Hey, Brandon, stand up. Let me show you something.’ He pops Brandon like five inches back.“He says, ‘Try this.’ He has him doing all these block-shedding moves. He was like, ‘Look, I taught (former Alabama defensive end) Will Anderson this stuff.’ He went from this to this to this. It was like watching a karate or a judo teacher.”Turns out Sunseri made an impression on multiple fronts. Davis-Swain, a 6-foot-3, 264-pound, four-star lineman and one of the top recruits in greater Detroit, committ...

No. 22 Colorado (1-0) vs. Nebraska (0-1)When/where: 10 a.m. Saturday/Folsom FieldTV/Radio: KDVR-31 (Fox)/850 AMBetMGM Line: CU -3, 58.5 over/underWeather: 75 degrees, mostly sunnyFive storylinesGrounded: If there was one slightly alarming development from an otherwise incredible offensive performance against TCU, it was the Buffs’ struggles to get anything going on the ground. While offensive coordinator Sean Lewis never strayed from running the ball, 55 yards on 34 carries (1.6 yards/carry) will not work long-term. Even more worrisome this week: Nebraska just held Minnesota, a program that prides itself on being able to shove the ball down opponents’ throats, to just 55 yards on 25 carries.Air it out: That being said, it’s not as if the Buffs got zero production from their running backs last week. In fact, freshman RB Dylan Edwards led CU in receiving yards (135). And that was with three receivers topping 100 yards against TCU: Travis Hunter (119), Xavier Weaver (...

Review: ‘Nun II’ is a horror film in need of a good startling

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:30:50 GMT

By Mark Kennedy | Associated Press“The Conjuring” Universe celebrates 10 years in business this fall with the dull “The Nun II,” a movie that seems destined to pound a nail into this franchise’s undead coffin.A new directing and writing team fails to shock or scare with a color-by-numbers plot and a meandering, languid wannabe frightfest. A few audience members fired up their phones halfway through a recent preview, a bad sign for anyone hoping for a gripping experience.A sequel to “The Nun” — the top-earning film in the franchise, with more than $366 million worldwide — was never going to be denied and the sequel hews carefully to the previous success. You could even say it’s haunted by its better precedent.This time it is 1956 — four years after the events of “The Nun” — and a demon is once again stalking Europe. It’s the same horrific Valak we met last time and suspected didn’t die, despite being splashed by ...
