BOULDER — On a team that had a solid corps of returning veterans, the Colorado Buffaloes still entered fall camp this year with a host of unknowns.
The Buffs needed those unknowns — players with the potential to be significant contributors — to step up.
Those young players have done just that. When the Buffs open their season Aug. 31 against Colorado State in Denver, the lineup could include a host of players with little or no CU experience — and those players could be difference-makers when it comes to Colorado stepping back into the postseason bowl picture.
