Over the past few weeks, the Colorado Buffaloes football team has been grinding hard through spring practices to prepare for the coming season. Last season, CU had a tough go, ending with a disappointing 5-7 record. While that is not a terrible record by any means, all seven of those losses came consecutively to finish another season that ended with no bowl eligibility.
Starting the season 5-0 and proceeding to lose seven in a row stung badly for coaches, players and fans alike. The disappointing campaign resulted in the program decided to shake things up.
That all started with the hiring of head coach Mel Tucker, who was previously the defensive coordinator at the University of Georgia.
