BOULDER — Here's your statistical anomaly for the day: the number of tight ends on the 2019 Colorado football roster (eight) is more than the number of passes caught by Buffs tight ends in the entire 2018 season (six).
Now here's a good bet for the 2019 season: that won't be the case next fall. The Buffs are utilizing at least one and oftentimes two tight ends on a regular basis, and it is clear that the position will be an integral part of CU's attack under head coach Mel Tucker and offensive coordinator Jay Johnson.
