BOULDER – Phillip Lindsay’s last four Labor Day weekends have revolved around the Rocky Mountain Showdown. This week, he’s a little busy securing a Denver Broncos roster spot to focus much energy on what his alma mater is up to.
But the former Colorado running back’s presence is still felt by the Buffs, even while he’s an hour down the road in Dove Valley.
Lindsay was a rare player who did absolutely everything, CU coach Mike MacIntyre said, and that wasn’t limited to carries, catches and returning kicks. Lindsay, CU’s career leader in all-purpose yards (5,926), drove the competition of everyone sitting behind him for years on the depth chart.
