1983 Preseason

While it was certainly true that Colorado, with a 2-8-1 record in 1982, was mired in a four-season long slump without a winning season, there was reason for optimism in Boulder. There had been moments in 1982 – a 12-0 shutout of Washington State in the second game of the season (and on the road!); a record-setting passing day of 361 yards against Nebraska (and trailing only 20-14 at the start of the fourth quarter!); a comeback tie against Oklahoma State; and a 28-3 demolition of Kansas in the home finale – which gave fans hope. Plus, head coach Bill McCartney had brought in his first recruiting class, and had his first full off-season on campus.

McCartney, who had been hired in June, 1982, had the off-season to revamp his coaching staff, with only one coach from 1982 retaining similar responsibilities in 1983.

The remainder of the contest was the Richard Johnson show. The senior, playing in his final game at Folsom Field, scored all of the Buffs’ touchdowns in the 28-3 win. In addition to the 77-yard touchdown catch and run, Johnson scored on a 13-yard pass from Vogel late in the first quarter; on a five yard pass in the third quarter; and on a two yard run with 4:49 left in the game. Johnson finished with 102 yards rushing on 21 carries, and 95 yards receiving on just three (all for touchdowns) catches. With another five yards in receptions, Johnson would have become the first Buff in Colorado history…
