While Deion Sanders believes the Colorado Buffaloes defense will be better overall this upcoming season than it was last season, there is one position group that remains a question mark — inside linebacker. While this may be contrary to public opinion, the truth is that average play from CU’s inside linebackers this upcoming season will

Who said that the Spring isn’t Colorado Buffaloes football season? Colorado is the only team in the country that will have its Spring Game nationally televised on ESPN. The much ballyhooed Spring Game (stay tuned to BuffsBlog for more on the game!) will kickoff at 2 pm on April 19th. Just as improbably, Colorado’s Pro
