Entering his second season as the general of the offense, more is expected of Colorado quarterback Steven Montez, and he's ready for the challenge.
"I'm very comfortable with being the quarterback right now," Montez, a junior, said. "As a team, we have to get some people in shape and I'm one of those people. I need to get back in shape and get back in football form, but I think once fall rolls around we're going to be looking pretty good. I thought we looked really good in the spring."
CU (5-7, 2-7 Pac-12 last year) needs improvement across the board to get back to a bowl game for the second time in three years, but there may not be a single player more important to its success than Montez.
