BOULDER — Saturday's first scrimmage of fall camp gave Colorado head coach Karl Dorrell and his staff a good baseline measurement of where the Buffaloes stand after nine practices.
There were some explosive plays on offense and special teams, some big stops by the defense — but most of all, the scrimmage gave CU coaches a good look at players who are vying for playing time in live action.
"This will be good tape for us to watch and see our guys play without the coaches behind them telling them what to do," Dorrell said after the Folsom Field workout, which consisted of roughly 90 plays from scrimmage and about a dozen more special teams plays.
