Key Takeaways from Dillingham:
- Specifically named CB Ro Torrence as someone who is emerging as a leader and praised him for his efforts (unprompted)
- The most important thing this fall is physicality, wants to reach the level of Utah (has talked about this before, so he makes a point of emphasizing this standard)
- Also mentioned culture and being smart
- Wants his team to embrace the heat "as a teammate" and for the players to use it to their advantage having to deal with it
- Also praised wide receivers Elijhah Badger and Jake Smith when asked about them
- Was satisfied with today's practice, but wouldn't say he was pleased
- Didn't have much to say about Colorado leaving the Pac-12
