BOULDER — “Yeah, same old Buffs,” the neighbor grumbles in my ear. “Same old Buffs.”
Why do you say that?
“Did you see that defense?”
Sure did, muchacho. And did you see who was playing on it during the second half of CU’s 35-30 loss to Arizona?
“Yeah. So?”
A pair of freshmen on the defensive line (Austin Williams, Na’im Rodman), a true freshman at one cornerback slot (K.J. Trujillo) and, at least in the third quarter, a former quarterback at safety (Sam Noyer).
