BOULDER — Just about anyone who follows Colorado football on even a casual basis knows the story of Phillip Lindsay, the lightly recruited player out of Denver whose dedication, discipline and hard work made him one of the most productive running backs in Colorado history.
Lindsay's success, his love for CU and his home state, and his unmatched fire and enthusiasm made him one of the most popular Buffs — in any sport — in recent years.
But what most folks don't know about Lindsay is this: it was that same dedication, discipline and work ethic that made it possible for him to earn a degree at CU.
