Current hypothesis
Colorado may have integrated its defensive roles faster than its transfer count suggested.
Evidence and counterevidence
Tech had no offensive touchdown and only 51 rushing yards.
Counterevidence
Tech passed for 237 yards; neither offense dominated yardage.
Unknown
Assignment quality and how much Tech’s own blocking caused the shortfall remain unknown.
Next diagnostic action
Chart Colorado’s next game against a different run scheme, with personnel and assignment notes.
What would support it
The hypothesis strengthens if coherent fits and communication recur against different personnel and concepts.
What would weaken or invalidate it
It weakens if repeated assignment breakdowns appear or the first result proves mostly opponent execution failure.
