BOULDER — One of the best compliments paid yet to Colorado running back Phillip Lindsay came from Utah coach Kyle Whittingham at the recent Pac-12 Media Days.
Whittingham, whose staccato delivery gets to the point in a hurry, had this to say about the Buffs senior who ran for 1,189 yards and 16 touchdowns last year while averaging a healthy 5.17 yards per pop.
"Tremendous back," Whittingham said. "Great runner, quick, fast, makes you miss, and he was a big part of their success last year. … We were hoping he was coming out (in the NFL Draft).
