EUGENE, Ore. — Since the beginning of the season, Colorado coach Mel Tucker has been pleased with his team's effort. From his point of view, the 3-2 Buffs (1-1 Pac-12) have played hard every week.
But for Tucker, playing hard is the minimum required — and he knows the Buffs will need more than the minimum Friday in Autzen Stadium when they face off with 13th-ranked Oregon (4-1, 2-0) in an 8 p.m. nationally televised game (FS1).
"It takes a lot to be able to finish the game and actually be successful and become victorious," Tucker said earlier this week.
