Excitement is building around the Mel Tucker era in Boulder, as the new head coach of the Colorado football team has infused the Buffaloes and their fans with renewed energy.
Tucker wants the Buffs to play fast, even in practice. He wants his players to be physical because, he said, "There's only one way to play the game of football and that's just all-out, physical football."
After two consecutive 5-7 seasons that halted the momentum of a miraculous 2016 — and five losing seasons during the six-year tenure of Mike MacIntyre — the Buffs were in need of a spark, and Tucker has provided it.
