Following a highly successful 2016 campaign in which they reached the Valero Alamo Bowl, there was a lot of excitement and high expectation going into the 2017 Colorado Buffaloes’ football season. CU took the field for the first time since that bowl game Saturday for the annual white-on-black spring game, where the Buffs play themselves.
The game got off to a rocky start when sophomore quarterback Steven Montez, who is expected to be the starter this season, got picked off by junior defensive back Nick Fisher on his first pass from scrimmage. It wasn’t until his third drive that Montez finally got some momentum going.
