BOULDER — Despite a season that felt like a 12-game roller coaster ride on defense, Colorado coordinator D.J. Eliot came away from the campaign confident that the foundation has been set for a better 2018.
"We had our ups and downs; some things good, some things bad," Eliot said. "We got a lot of new players some game experience and reps, and I'm excited about next year."
The Buffaloes (5-7, 2-7 Pac-12) missed out on a bowl game for the ninth time in the last 10 years, in part because of the struggles on defense.
