BOULDER — As the opening of fall camp draws ever nearer for the Colorado Buffaloes (players are scheduled to report two weeks from Wednesday), there are some things of which we can be relatively sure in terms of personnel.
In other words, there are a handful of players on both sides of the ball who will be expected to be productive. They are the veteran, established starters coming off solid seasons. On defense, that list no doubt includes inside linebacker Nate Landman (last season's tackles leader) and defensive lineman Mustafa Johnson (last year's sacks leader), both of whom have been named to preseason All-Pac-12 first teams.
