For Mustafa Johnson and the Buffs, intensity and physicality are key in spring practice

The overarching goal of spring practice this year for the Colorado Buffaloes football team is to turn up the intensity and physicality.

Junior defensive lineman Mustafa Johnson talked about how the new coaching staff — led by former Georgia defensive coordinator and current Colorado head coach Mel Tucker — is trying to change the culture of CU football.

When asked the biggest difference from last year’s culture to this year’s during the Buffs’ spring practice, Johnson pointed to the changing energy.

“Intensity,” Johnson said of the first few practices. “[The coaches] are trying to change the culture for us.
