The Buffaloes’ offense has taken steps forward since quarterback Owen McCown was inserted into the starting lineup. The point and yardage totals have now risen from the lows of Colorado’s loss to Minnesota.
Now, we will see how much the Buffs were able to benefit from a bye week when they face the Cal Golden Bears on Saturday. Colorado has found some playmakers on the offensive side of the ball and should continue to foster those weapons around its freshman QB.
Fans will also be focused on what changes have been made since the elevation of interim head coach Mike Sanford, along with Clay Patterson moving to offensive coordinator and Kyle DeVan heading up the run game coordination.
