Defense wins games and the Buffaloes have an impressive history of dominant players who’ve kept opposing offenses silent.
Colorado defenders have paved the way to bowl games, conference championships and the Buffs’ 1990 national championship unit was, of course, especially memorable. Even in recent years, the 2016 Pac-12 South-winning team wouldn’t have gotten there without that strong secondary. The Buffs also watched a pair of historically good linebackers sign with NFL teams just this offseason.
