BOULDER — Colorado's first scrimmage of the spring was an abbreviated affair Friday, with Karl Dorrell's Buffaloes getting in about 25 full-contact plays.
Dorrell and his staff are having to create a delicate balance this spring because of a lack of depth on both sides of the line, particularly on the offensive side. While it means plenty of reps for the linemen who are available, CU coaches must also be prudent when it comes to full-contact work.
"We're really thin up front right now," Dorrell said. "That's been our biggest challenge. That hurts a lot of the productivity from an offensive standpoint … We'll get a few more pieces back and we'll be a little more efficient offensively.
