Game Plan
When the Buffs run
You could point to a handful of stats that explain why the Showdown has been so one-sided in recent years, but let’s start with this: Over the last four meetings CU has averaged 219.8 rushing yards on 45.8 attempts, for an average of 4.8 yards per carry. If you’re a defensive coordinator, repeated 2nd-and-5s are no way to go through life, son. The Buffs are green in the backfield but have a potential rock at right tackle in William Sherman and a veteran left tackle in Oklahoma State transfer Arlington Hambright.
