BOULDER — Last season, only one Colorado offensive lineman started every game for the Buffaloes, and he did it at the same position for all 12 games.
Perhaps the most surprising part is that it was a redshirt freshman, center Colby Pursell. While every other position on the line featured at least two different starters over the course of the season — and a couple had three — the man snapping the ball at the beginning of every game for the Buffs was the 6-foot-4, 290-pound Pursell.
Pursell finished the year with not only the most starts, but also the most snaps of any lineman, 830.
