Colorado is best known for its defense, but its offense should not be overlooked. Co-Offensive coordinators Brian Lindgren and Darrin Chiaverini begin their second year together, and should be able to add even more wrinkles to an offense that averaged 29.2 points per game in 2016. As it stands through week 3, Colorado is 3-0 and places seventh in the Pac-12 in scoring offense and total offense.
Quarterback:
Washington fans will remember facing sophomore quarterback Steven Montez (a freshman at the time) in last year’s Pac-12 championship game, when he came in for injured starter Sefo Liufau.
