BOULDER — When it comes to Colorado's linebackers — inside and outside — there is no doubt plenty of talent and potential on the roster.
But experience? Not so much.
Yes, the Buffs do have a returning starter inside in junior Nate Landman, a preseason first team All-Pac-12 pick. They also have a returning vet on the outside in sophomore Carson Wells, who started six games last season.
But as defensive coordinator Tyson Summers pointed out, the experience level drops rather dramatically after that. It means newcomers and relatively untested returnees could be playing a big role this year in CU's linebacking corps.
