BOULDER — Saturday afternoon, nearly a year after their last contest — 343 days, to be exact — the Colorado Buffaloes will step onto Folsom Field and play a game.
Kickoff against UCLA in Karl Dorrell's debut as CU's head coach is set for 5:05 p.m. (ESPN2).
It has been, safe to say, the most bizarre year in Buffs football history. It has included a late coaching change (Dorrell was hired Feb. 23), a pandemic that shut down the sports world for months (including CU's spring ball session), a truncated summer session, an indecisive Pac-12 that couldn't decide whether to have a season or not, and the continuing saga of the coronavirus that has changed the way sports are practiced and played.
