September 11th – @ California California 52, Colorado 7

Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott indicated this weekend that the chances of Colorado moving to the Pac-12 in 2011 are “worse than 50-50″. Scott did not rule out the chance that Colorado and the Big 12 will work out their differences in time for a move next season, but the Pac-10 may go with 11 teams next fall. “It sounds like some discussion (with the Big 12) is going on,” said Scott, “but they (CU athletic director Mike Bohn and CU chancellor Phil DiStefano) are pessimistic (about 2011), and are thinking 2012″.

The way the Buffs played against Cal from the Pac-10 in week two of the 2010 season, waiting another year might not be a bad idea …

Fact: Colorado hasn’t won a road game since 2007.

Reality: If the effort against California in Berkeley is any indication, the Buffs are not likely to win on the road anytime soon.

Colorado turned the ball over five times, including interception and fumble returns for touchdowns, as the Buffs wiped away all of the confidence gained from the opening win over Colorado State, falling 52-7 to California.

The Buffs were their own worst enemies in the first…

September 4th – Invesco Field, Denver Colorado 24, Colorado State 3

The Colorado Buffaloes took the first steps toward exorcising the demons of the 2009 season with a convincing 24-3 win over in-state rival Colorado State. Led by junior quarterback Tyler Hansen, a stout defensive effort, and a record-setting performance by wide receiver Scotty McKnight, the Buffs methodically took down the Rams before 60,989 on a 90-degree sun-baked day in Denver.

The Colorado defense set the tone early.

On the Rams’ second possession, third-year head coach Steve Fairchild opted to go for first down on fourth-and-one at the CSU 44-yard line. Running back T.J. Borcky, however, was stopped for no gain by sophomore linebacker Jon Major, and the Buffs took over possession. It took the Buffs six plays to score, with Tyler Hansen hitting senior transfer Travon Patterson on a 17-yard touchdown pass with 5:58 to play in the first quarter.

After teams exchanged punts, the Buffs took over at the 13:26 mark of the second quarter. Colorado then put together its most impressive drive of the game, going 82 yards in nine plays to score. The first five plays of the drive were all Rodney Stewart runs. Speedy slashed through the…

Summer in Boulder never quiet for receiving corps

Summer in Boulder.

Warm days. Shakespeare in the Parks. Farmers’ markets. Hiking, biking, and barbeques …

… and turmoil in the University of Colorado receiving units.

A look back – 2009

While the 2009 preseason magazines were discussing the merits of head coach Dan Hawkins’ “ten wins; no excuses” statement, the Colorado receiving corps was undergoing an upheaval. Josh Smith, a record-setting kick returner (1,568 yards on 50 kickoff returns) and a speed burner being counted upon to stretch opposing defenses, announced he was leaving the program. Citing a desire to pursue a music major not offered in Boulder, Smith set his sights on a return to the state of California (ultimately settling on UCLA).

Also leaving the Buffs, but with less fanfare, was tight end Ryan Wallace. The red-shirt freshman was reportedly homesick, expressing a desire to return to a school closer to his native Bowling Green, Kentucky.

The loss of Smith and Wallace were off-set during the summer as news of the pursuit of transfer Toney Clemons. Unhappy with the new coaching staff at Michigan, Clemons, a former four-star recruit, was looking for a new home. Clemons ultimately chose Colorado, with…
