BOULDER — Steven Montez has heard the talk. The Colorado redshirt freshman quarterback knows the general consensus is that transfer Davis Webb will step onto campus this summer, walk into fall camp as the favorite and be named the starter when the Buffs kick the season off Sept. 2 against Colorado State.
But Montez doesn’t plan on backing down. Rather, with Webb still at Texas Tech finishing up his degree, the big-armed gunslinger from El Paso is having a strong spring, doing everything in his power to make sure fall camp isn’t a foregone conclusion.
“I feel like I’ve made a ton of progress,” Montez said earlier this week after perhaps the offense’s best practice of the spring.
