Throughout this spring, Colorado safety Kyle Trego has noticed a difference in the Buffaloes' defense.
"Chemistry," said Trego, a senior entering his third season with the Buffs. "A lot of the guys, we're all hanging out a lot now, compared to the other years; it was kind of cliques everywhere. Now I feel like we're more of a family. Chemistry is the biggest part."
The Buffs are hoping that chemistry leads to better results.
Under the direction of first-year coordinator D.J. Eliot, the Buffs (5-7, 2-7 Pac-12) slipped to ninth in the conference in total defense and sixth in scoring defense last season.
