BOULDER — Since the day he arrived as a true freshman, there's never been a doubt about the physical abilities of Colorado quarterback Steven Montez.

This spring, Montez is working under a new position coach, Kurt Roper. Hired in the offseason, the man who tutored NFL star Eli Manning at Mississippi is working with Montez on the little things he believes can make a big difference.
