BOULDER — When UMass wide receiver Tajae Sharpe gets off the bus Saturday at Folsom Field, he shouldn’t be surprised if he sees a Colorado defensive back standing next to him.
If the Buffs have a choice in the matter, that will be the case all day when the Minutemen visit Boulder for CU’s season opener (noon, Pac-12 Mountain). Wherever Sharpe goes, the Buffs plan on having someone in the immediate vicinity — close enough that if Sharpe decides to snap a selfie, a Buff defensive back will be in the picture.
“We have to know where he is all the time, every play,” Colorado cornerbacks coach Charles Clark said.
