A quick position-by-position look at the Colorado Buffaloes heading into spring football:
Quarterback: The Buffs have just two full-time scholarship players competing: senior Jordan Gehrke and redshirt freshman Steven Montez. Between them, they have one career start (Gehrke, in 2014). Part-time receiver Jaleel Awini will also compete, as will walk-ons TJ Patterson and Tyler McGarry. The hope is that a clear front-runner emerges.
Running back: This is an experienced and talented group. Juniors Michael Adkins II, Donovan Lee and Phillip Lindsay lead the group, while sophomore Patrick Carr comes in after a solid debut season last fall.
