BOULDER — During Colorado's 27-24 overtime victory against Colorado State last weekend, safety Tedric Thompson came off the field after a CSU field goal and offered a suggestion to his coaches.
"He said, 'Call that again because I can block it,' " said Buffaloes head coach Mike MacIntyre. "We went right block again and he said, 'I can get through there.' "
Sure enough, Thompson's block of a CSU field-goal attempt in overtime proved pivotal in the victory over the Rams.
That block is one of several examples of plays CU has made this year that it might not have made a year ago.
