CU Buffs’ Mel Tucker: “I believe in this football team”

His team riding a four-game losing streak, Colorado head football coach Mel Tucker has found himself in a position of clinging to positives far too often lately.

At least the Buffaloes have a longer list of those positives this week.

CU’s 35-31 loss to Southern California on Friday night at Folsom Field was a devastating defeat, considering the Buffs played well for much of the night, had a 10-point lead going into the fourth quarter and could have turned their season around with a first-ever victory against the Trojans.

After getting blown out in the previous two games, the loss to USC proved that Tucker’s Buffs (3-5, 1-4 Pac-12) don’t intend on mailing in the rest of the season.
