2019 Colorado Buffaloes Football Preview

The Buffs have an experienced quarterback and receiving corps, but holes everywhere else.

I have to admit that during Nebraska’s Big XII days, I came to regard Colorado’s football program as a classic Warner Brothers’ Roadrunner cartoon, with the Buffaloes playing the role of one Wile E. Coyote. Every year, the Buffaloes would examine their Acme Corporation playbook, and then the rest of college football would watch as the anvil crashed down on top of the Buffaloes.

My personal favorite was replacing offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich (who’d go on to lead Oregon into the first playoff national championship game) in order to run a “pro-style” offense with 5’11” Cody Hawkins throwing the ball 40 times a game in 2009. Needless to say, it took less than two games for the anvil to appear…and in spectacular fashion when Toledo raced out to a 30-3 lead on the Buffs, sparking the now famous “second half suicide hotline thread” over at RalphieReport.com.
