“Colorado could be a much improved football team this season… but it might not show up in the win-loss column.”
You’ve heard it many times before, and it no longer makes you feel any better. Yet as hard as that is to swallow, the statement rings true. Again.
It was true last year, when the seemingly endless string of blowout losses from 2013 turned into finger-chewing, head-shaking, teeth-grinding defeats. In seven of their 10 losses, including a pair of double-overtime setbacks, Colorado had more than a decent shot at winning late in the game, including a home double-overtime loss to conference power UCLA.
