BOULDER — When the Colorado defense lines up against Stanford on Saturday (11 a.m., Pac-12 Networks), they’ll see one of the best running backs in the nation in Christian McCaffrey and an experienced dual-threat quarterback in Kevin Hogan.
It’s a talented duo that nobody in the Pac-12 has been able to stop thus far this season. McCaffrey leads the Cardinal in rushing (1,087 yards) and receiving (25 catches for 310 yards) while Hogan has 1,662 yards passing and 186 yards rushing.
But the first thing Buff defenders see won’t be McCaffrey or Hogan.
Rather, the Buffs will first see a massive offensive line, one that averages well over 300 pounds per player and one that takes great pride in imposing its will on opponents.
