“The theme of the day was energy.” Colorado interim head coach Mike Sanford said as he addressed the media in his first press conference as the leader of CU football. No one took Tuesday’s theme more seriously than Sanford himself. Buffs’ media were allowed to watch practice on Tuesday for the first time this year during a brief 20-minute window...

The calendar just turned over to October but Rick George and CU saw enough through the Buffs’ first five games of the season, it was time to fire Karl Dorrell. The last time George was in this situation, it was an absolute scramble to replace Mel Tucker as the current Michigan State head coach left Colorado in the middle of February 2020. Now, George has the chance to let the 2022 football season play out and pick Colorado football’s 28th head football coach from a long list of potential candidates. While it may be too early in the season to know exactly who is in play for head coaching positions in this year’s coaching carousel, here are 26 coaches that…

After Colorado fired head coach Karl Dorrell on Sunday afternoon, two of CU’s most prominent university figures, chancellor Philip DiStefano and athletic director Rick George, introduced Mike Sanford as the Buffs’ interim head coach.  As the book was closed on the Karl Dorrell era at CU, George, DiStefano and Sanford emphasized their admiration, respect and the integrity that Dorrell possesses....

Owen McCown and Jordyn Tyson are leading a charge of young Buffs who will be seeing increased playing time in the near future. In Saturday’s game against UCLA, Colorado started quarterback Owen McCown, wide receiver Chase Sowell and left guard Van Wells. That was the first time the Buffs started three true freshmen on offense in the same game since...

Head coach Karl Dorrell and Colorado made the decision to start true freshman Owen McCown last week and while the final score was not much different than the last three weeks, it appears that Colorado has a quarterback. McCown’s performance last Saturday against UCLA was what coach Dorrell called, “our best passing production in two years.” Against the Bruins, McCown...

Colorado is entering their third straight game of being at least 21-point underdogs this weekend when UCLA rolls into Folsom. UCLA barely escaped against South Alabama at home last week which suggests that this team is capable of playing down to their competition. The Buffs have yet to find any type of offensive momentum this season and it looks like...

Going into the season, the depth of the Colorado football team was emphasized by head coach Karl Dorrell and staff. Given the outcome of the first three games of the season, Colorado has been able to get many freshman and sophomore players valuable live game experience. The Buffs played at least 40 freshmen and sophomore’s in last Saturday’s loss to...

Karl Dorrell’s seat is nearly boiling hot. After the Buffs lost their third and final nonconference game on Saturday 49-7 to the Minnesota Gophers, University of Colorado Athletic Director Rick George put out a statement to Buffs fans. “I want you to know that I hear you. I recognize and understand your disappointment and frustration and perhaps, even anger. We...

Colorado wraps up their out-of-conference schedule with another tough opponent as they travel to Minnesota to take on a Gophers team that beat them 30-0 one year ago. It’s been a brutal stretch for the Buffs who are looking to find any type of offensive momentum before heading into PAC-12 conference play. We will get confirmation tomorrow, but at least...

When it comes to the triple-option, it’s not a complicated offense in theory. What makes the triple-option a lethal offense for Army, Navy and Air Force is the fact it only takes one guy out of position, one missed tackle, one lapse in responsibility and they can make you pay. Can a corner cover a back or receiver for 30 run plays and not lose focus on the 31st play when the offense finally throws the football? Can the defender responsible for the pitchman avoid trying to make a play quarterback for the entire game? Colorado’s discipline, mental strength and patience will be tested this weekend. Saturday will be the 18th time Colorado and Air Force face off. Colorado holds…

The Buffs are jumping head-first into the rhythm of the football season. While disappointment looms after Colorado dropped the season opener to TCU, it’s time to make adjustments on the fly and get ready for Air Force this Saturday. Following Tuesday’s practice LB Robert Barnes and WR Daniel Arias both talked about how the team is bouncing back from the...

DENVER — Respect. Mel Tucker’s already earned his from the most accomplished college football coach in the state, Air Force’s Troy Calhoun. While not everyone saw this kind of a start from the Buffs under their rookie head coach, Calhoun, one of the smartest men in the sport, had prognosticated a drastic turnaround for Colorado under their new head coach....

On our final Colorado Buffaloes football podcast of the 2017 season, Chase Howell and Sam Weaver discussed the loss to Utah, the upcoming NFL Draft and previewed the Buffs 2018 season.

BOULDER – Less than a week after the final game of his junior season, Colorado Buffaloes cornerback Isaiah Oliver announced via Twitter that he would forego his senior year and declare early for the NFL Draft.

A season removed from an ACL tear that would cost him his first year as a Colorado Buffalo, redshirt junior Juwann Winfree was still watching much of the action from the sidelines.
