BOULDER — Freshmen don't have to play at Colorado anymore.
Third-year Buffaloes head coach Mike MacIntyre has controlled the attrition that seemed to be robbing the program of nearly half of every recruiting class before he arrived. There is plenty of depth and talent in place these days, allowing MacIntyre and his staff to redshirt most of each recruiting class.
But that doesn't mean you won't see freshmen on the field this season. There are several who have been impressive so far in preseason camp, and it's going to be difficult to keep them off the field.
