BOULDER — Colorado head coach Mel Tucker kept it straightforward and simple Monday when his Buffaloes returned to practice.
"The question is, can we get better? The answer is yes," Tucker told the media after practice. "Each individual guy has to get better and fix his individual issues whatever they are, on the field, off the field, whatever it is. Then we can get better."
Tucker and his staff spent a long weekend reviewing film of Friday night's 45-3 loss at Oregon. Tucker also met with a number of players on an individual basis Sunday, and when the Buffs (3-3 overall, 1-2 Pac-12) returned to practice Monday, his message at their morning team meeting went straight to the point:
"Being truthful about everything — that's the fastest way to get better," he said.
