Linebacker Rick Gamboa aims to lead Buffs back to winning ways

Going through spring football one last time with the Colorado Buffaloes, it's hitting Rick Gamboa that he's an old guy now.

"It feels weird," the veteran linebacker said. "I'm finally a senior, one of the oldest guys on the team and just being around for so long and knowing so much, it's kind of weird. But at the same time, (being a leader is) like a natural role I'm used to."

For the Buffaloes (5-7, 2-7 Pac-12 last year) to rebound from a disappointing season, they'll lean heavily on veterans such as Gamboa, who has 39 games under his belt.
