This was supposed to be Colorado’s break out year, getting back to the glory days of Bill McCartney and their national championship. They have several running backs with 1,000 yard potential and a stacked offensive line. But, four games in, the Buffs rank 11th in the Pac-12 in scoring (26.3 points per game) and 11th in yards (413.8 per game). Yes, they played Washington in that span, but ranked 10th in scoring during non-conference play that featured a fairly soft schedule.
So, what happened?
The current diagnosis is an issue with consistency.
They started strong against Washington, but after their first drive, the energy fizzled and the familiar sequence of several possessions and no points returned.
