BOULDER — Since the beginning of fall camp, Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre has said one of the biggest difference in this year’s team compared to last season’s is its depth.
That theory received one of its first major tests of the season Tuesday, when the Buffs announced that starting left tackle Jeromy Irwin would be out for the rest of the year with a knee injury. Taking his place in the lineup Saturday vs. Colorado State in Denver (5 p.m., Sports Authority Field, CBS-SN) will be redshirt sophomore Sam Kronshage, a 6-foot-6, 285-pounder from The Woodlands, Texas.
