Editor’s Note: This column originally appeared in the fall edition of The Stampede, the official publication of the Buff Club. It was published before the Colorado football season began, but with Chidobe Awuzie racking up 18 tackles, four tackles for loss and a sack in the first four games it was clearly onto something.
Injuries are a part of football. There’s not a player, coach or analyst that would try to argue otherwise. The pure physicality of the game ensures that not everyone can stay healthy for an entire season.
Some players miss weeks due to a broken bone.
