BOULDER — In three of their five games this year, the Colorado Buffaloes have gone without a defensive takeaway, and they have yet to emerge from a game this season with the turnover edge.
Thus, it's no surprise that interim head coach Mike Sanford and new defensive coordinator Gerald Chatman have made CU's turnover/takeaway ratio a point of emphasis as they prepare for Saturday's home game against Cal (noon, Pac-12 Network).
There is, of course, a healthy list of reasons the 0-5 Buffs have yet to break into the win column, and as a result will be playing their first game this weekend under the guidance of an interim head coach.
