It hasn’t exactly been a banner year for football in the state of Colorado. The Broncos are an epic disappointment, while the Colorado State Rams are among the worst teams in the Mountain West.
The Colorado Buffaloes might be the most disappointing of the entire bunch, however, as they sit with a 1-7 record heading into a home matchup against the Oregon Ducks on Saturday.
Colorado did finally move on from head coach Karl Dorrell after a disappointing tenure that saw him go 8-15 over the past three seasons, including an 0-5 start this year before he was fired.
New coach Mike Sanford led the Buffs to a win over Cal, but by and large it has been a really rough couple of seasons for Colorado.
Oregon may not have been at their best against Cal last week, but it’s hard to imagine a situation where they don’t take care of business in Boulder on Saturday, especially after looking at where this roster is at at this point in the year.
