Say this for Alex Kinney's collegiate football debut — it definitely will be a moment he will always remember.

The Colorado native was booming punts for Rocky Mountain High in Fort Collins just a year ago, and on Sept. 3 he fulfilled a lifelong dream by stepping on the field at Hawaii to launch his first punt for the Colorado Buffaloes.

What occurred next probably still roils the stomachs of many Buffs fans. Kinney's first attempt was blocked, leading to an opening Hawaii touchdown in a loss that remains the harshest blight on CU's 2015 resume.
