Competition and clarity key ingredients for Mel Tucker’s tailbacks

Of the many question marks that first-year head coach Mel Tucker must address as spring football practices get underway, the situation in the backfield for the Colorado Buffaloes seems like one that may take some time to answer.

For all intents and purposes, Colorado enters borderline uncharted territory at the tailback position heading into the 2019 season. The era of Philip Lindsay grows more distant with each passing day and now the Buffs must tread onward without the services of Travon McMillian, who racked up 1,064 yards on the ground for CU last season as a senior graduate transfer from Virginia Tech.
