BOULDER — Colorado defensive end Michael Mathewes may not be in the Buffs’ starting lineup Saturday at Folsom Field, but it’s a safe bet he’ll see some playing time against Oregon (8 p.m., ESPN).
Mathewes has simply made it almost impossible for the CU coaching staff to keep him off the field.
Mathewes, a redshirt freshman from Mission Viejo, Calif., made the first start of his career last weekend against the Nicholls Colonels. Playing in place of injured regular Leo Jackson III, Mathewes recorded five solo tackles, one assist and a quarterback sack.
