One for the Road

Never in the course of Colorado football endeavors have so many been made so happy over so little.

At the end of the day, the University of Colorado football program still ended its 2011 season with one of the worst records in school history. For only the fourth time in 122 years of football, the Buffs finished a season with ten losses.

The win, over a 7-4 Utah team, was hardly epic. The Buffs struggled on offense at times, and gave the Utes any number of chances in the fourth quarter to pull out the come-from-behind victory.

Yet the Buffs still won, 17-14.

And make no mistake about it … this win was huge.

Let me count the ways

- Removing “the stain”, adding the brick

Jon Embree was hired on December 8, 2010 – which means he has been living with “the streak” for almost a full year. Prior to the current streak, despite having any number of runs of poor play over 121 seasons, including three ten-loss campaigns, the University of Colorado had never lost more than ten games in a row on the road.

When Jon Embree returned to Boulder, the Streak he was left with already stood…

Austin Vincent suspended

A member of the Colorado recruiting Class of 2011 has been suspended from football related activities, following his arrest for indecent exposure.

According to the Daily Camera, University of Colorado police arrested Austin Vincent after a fellow student told police he came into the women’s restroom while she was showering and exposed himself to her.

Vincent, a freshman wide receiver who was red-shirted this season, was arrested late Friday night on suspicion of indecent exposure and second-degree criminal trespassing, both misdemeanors.

According to a police report, an 18-year-old CU student told police she was taking a shower in the women’s restroom at Willard Hall when she heard a man enter the restroom and announce to her he was going to take a shower.

The woman told police the man began to make small talk and at one point asked to borrow her shampoo. The woman said the man, identified as Vincent, then opened her curtain and stood before her naked as she tried to cover herself up with the curtain.

Vincent then went back into his shower stall, the woman told police, and she wrapped herself in a towel and fled the restroom. The woman…

The Long Road Back

Colorado head coach Jon Embree was an assistant coach at UCLA for three seasons, from 2003-05. With the Bruins playing their home games in the Rose Bowl, Embree is very familiar with playing games in Pasadena.

This past week, with the Buffs traveling to Pasadena to play the UCLA Bruins for the first time as a member of the Pac-12, Embree talked about returning to the Rose Bowl, not as a visiting team, but as the conference representative as the Pac-12 champion.

It’ll be awhile …

After a big home win over Arizona, the Buff Nation basked in the glow of the possibilities of a strong finish to the 2011 season. After struggling all season to score, the Buffs rolled up 48 points against the Wildcats, the highest point total for Colorado since posting 65 against Nebraska in 2007.

Could Colorado post back-to-back wins for the first time since interim head coach Brian Cabral led the Buffs to wins over Iowa State and Kansas State last November?

Could the Buffs live up to the guarantee of their senior quarterback Tyler Hansen, who boasted that the 28 seniors in the Class of 2011 would take out the last vestige…

Injury Update

Colorado continues to get healthier – overall. Still, defensive back and wide receiver remain areas of concern. With UCLA’s penchant to run the ball instead of pass, and with Colorado likely wanting to establish the running game as well (the Bruins are 95th in the nation in rushing defense), the passing game may not play as great a role as it has the past few games.

On the mend:

Brian Lockridge – (Sr.) – defensive back – suffered a sprained ankle v. Washington State – listed as “day-to-day” for yet another week

Anthony Perkins – (Sr.) – safety – suffered an ankle sprain nine plays into the Oregon game – trying to get back, but is still listed as “questionable”

Logan Gray – (Sr.) – wide receiver – suffered a bruised leg in second half of the USC game – listed as “day-to-day” for the second week in a row

Kyle Washington – (Fr.) – safety – suffered a concussion in the second quarter of the USC game, did not return; held out of Arizona game - listed as “day-to-day”

Parker Orms – (So.) – cornerback – suffered a hamstring pull in the second half against Arizona - listed as…

Neuheisel No. 1 on the “hot seat” rankings; Buffs fall out of “Bottom Ten”

At his weekly press conference, Jon Embree called UCLA head coach a “survivor”.

Well, if Neuheisel is going to survive this season, he had better win this Saturday. According to Coaches Hot Seat Ranking, Neuheisel is No. 1 on the list of coaches who need to win now.

Interestingly enough, Colorado State head coach Steve Fairchild rates a No. 2 ranking on the hot seat least. The Rams are 3-6 after a 3-1 start, and are staring at a trip to Dallas this weekend to face Boise State buster TCU. A losing season is all but inevitable, and Fairchild, with an overall record of 16-30 in Ft. Collins, may not be back to face the Buffs next September.

Other names of note … fourth on the list is Washington State head coach Paul Wulff, whose lot improved last weekend with an upset of Arizona State, but who must take down Utah on the road, then Washington at home, in order to have the Cougars become bowl eligible … Fresno State’s Pat Hill is No. 8 on the list. The Buffs take…

Jon Embree Tuesday Press Conference Quotes

On How USC Looks – “A different color uniform than every team we have played the last five games. It has been quite the stretch. They are a very good team. Defensively, they are not the same as they have been in the past. Offensively, (quarterback Matt) Barkley makes them go. Him and Robert Woods. They have great chemistry, great connection with each other. They are the best combination in the conference, those two guys. Their running game, they got that going some last week with (Curtis) McNeal. They are the USC Trojans. They are a good team. I don’t know where they are ranked. I know they can’t be ranked in one of them. (Head coach) Lane (Kiffin) has done a good job as far as minimizing distractions of what has happened in the past and they are playing very well. They are playing physical. I like their D-line, I like their two guys inside – they do a good job of getting push. You come out Friday you’ll see that they are a good team.”
