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 is seeking some revenge this weekend. This time last year, CU welcomed Minnesota to Folsom Field where the Gophers blew out the Buffs 30-0. Minnesota went on to finish 9-4 last season with a victory in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl against West Virginia. Many of the Gophers’ most important players in last year’s matchup returned to school and will…...

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…...

Be careful what you wish for. After a season opener in which Brendon Lewis played most of the game, Colorado fans and cognoscenti were wondering why J.T. Shrout did not play more. Shrout started and played every offensive snap in Saturday’s game against Air Force, a game that became a comedy of errors. The weather may have played a factor…...

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…

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…...

It was a frustrating season opener for Buffs fans as Colorado kept it close in the first half but ultimately got overpowered by TCU in the second half in a 38-13 loss. Following the lackluster showing, it’s as if there are more questions about Colorado’s football team now than there were before kickoff on Friday night. The media spoke to…...

The September 2nd season opener can be a monumental turning point for both Colorado and TCU. Both programs enter the 2022 season looking to prove that the past is the past, and that they are back on the road to glory. In order for that to happen though, these teams will need perform much better than they have in recent…...

Two of Colorado’s newest players have already been able to positively impact the Buffs both on and off the field. R.J. Sneed and Josh Chandler-Semedo were CU’s two biggest additions from the transfer portal and both are expected to fill positions of need and contribute immediately in 2022. DNVR was able to catch up with the two recently to hear…...

With his team on a short week, Colorado head football coach, Karl Dorrell, spoke to the media on Tuesday for the last time until after Friday night’s season opener. Much of the off-season conversation has been based on the quarterback competition between J.T. Shrout and Brendon Lewis. Dorrell has maintained a level of confidence and ambiguity as to how the…...

The Buffs have used the last week to begin game preparations for the 2022 season opener against TCU. Head coach Karl Dorrell addressed the media after Saturday’s practice and provided updates on the health of his team, how preparation has been going and a slight preview of what’s going to happen next Friday. Let’s dive into it all. Do the…...

Blake Street Tavern in downtown Denver hosted the 3rd Annual Front Range Huddle where most of the head coaches at Colorado college football programs gathered before the start of the college football season. Colorado State and their head coach, Jay Norvell, did not attend but DNVR was able to talk to and hear from Colorado head coach Karl Dorrell and…...

The transfer portal additions for the 2022 Colorado Buffaloes are all getting healthy at the right time. Josh Chandler-Semedo has been healthy since he arrived on campus earlier this summer but R.J. Sneed and Tommy Brown have returned to practice and are gearing up to potentially suit up for next week’s opener vs. TCU. All three have a great shot…...

The Buffs are entering the 2022 season with a modern approach to an old-school mentality. Colorado wants to beat its opponents playing ‘Smashmouth football’. While CU’s offensive approach will feature elements of the rough and tough style, it won’t just be straight ahead, 3 yards and a cloud of dust, or the stereotype for the traditional mindset. Multiple members of…...

It was about as chaotic and tumultuous an off-season could possibly be for the Buffs. Despite a litany of transfers out and a re-shuffling amongst the coaching staff, there is an upbeat, humble yet confident vibe about the Buffs’ chances to improve and build on last year’s season. Offensive line woes were an underlying theme in 2021 and were one…

Football season is upon us, and whether your favorite jersey says Broncos, Buffaloes, Falcons, or Rams, there’s reason to think things are looking up this season.
