Colorado currently holds its best winning percentage since 1996
Colorado only had more than four wins five times throughout the past decade, going 5-7 four different times. First-year head coach Karl Dorrell will have the opportunity to match that five-win total with just six games played.
When Mel Tucker left for Michigan State, it seemed as the Buffaloes were doomed and were even picked to finish last in the Pac-12 South. A solid rushing attack from running back Jarek Broussard, who is averaging 162.6 yards per game, has been the key to the successful year for Colorado.
1996 was the last season Colorado finished a season with a winning percentage over .800. They are sitting at that exact number right now with a 4-1 record. A win against Texas in the Alamo Bowl would be a historic season for the Buffaloes, even with a small sample size.
