Buffs Defense Gets Confidence Boost, New Standard

BOULDER — Colorado's defensive performance in last weekend's 16-13 win over Stanford was no doubt a confidence boost for the Buffaloes.

After several weeks of improvement but not getting the desired result, CU's defense put forth its best effort of the year in limiting the visiting Cardinal to opponent season lows in points and yards (372).

"It's really important for your players, especially our young players who have been working really hard through practice, to be able to see some results come with everything they've been doing," CU defensive coordinator Tyson Summers said Wednesday.
