BOULDER — As the Colorado Buffaloes progressed through spring drills this year, the list of players unable to participate was substantial.
The group included three players who began the 2015 season in the starting lineup but had their years cut short by season-ending injuries. Those three — linebacker Addison Gillam, offensive lineman Jeromy Irwin and quarterback Sefo Liufau — spent the entire spring on the sidelines as well. They continued to rehab their injuries, spend as much time as possible in the weight room, work on their conditioning — and watch.
