The Word on the Buffaloes |

Hawkins will have his most experienced team during his tenure with 54 lettermen returning, 15 starters and 48 seniors and juniors on the depth chart. He believes it bodes well for the coming campaign...
Boulder Daily Camera
The Buffaloes have the potential to be solid on defense. They should be able to cover top receivers with Smith and Brown, which should help coordinator Ron Collins dial up blitzes without a true speed pass rusher...
Blue Ribbon
Enough veterans exist to offer improvement offensively. RB Rodney Stewart and WR Scotty McKnight are solid, plus the offensive line is experienced. Defensively, the Buffs feature a solid pass rusher in DE Marquez Herrod...
FOX Sports
The offensive line should be stronger and quicker, and the Buffs have an undisputed starting quarterback, senior Tyler Hansen, for the first time in three years. Expect this offense to finish far north of where it did...
The Sporting News
Experienced backs give the Buffaloes a chance to develop offensively, especially if RB Rodney Stewart can shine consistently. But the Buffs ranked last in the Big 12 in total offense and turnover margin, two elements...
USA Today
There is talent and experience in this program. But before Colorado can come anywhere near the success Hawkins envisioned upon his hiring, the Buffs must resolve several issues. Colorado has lost its past 12 road games...

Yahoo Sports
One of the few bright spots over the past few seasons has been wide received Scotty McKnight, who came up with 91 catches over his first two seasons before exploding for 76 grabs for 893 yards and six TDs...
College Football News
Nate Solder has been terrific. A former tight end, Solder excelled on the blind side, where his long arms allow him to hold speedy rush ends at bay. He very firmly ranks among the top left tackles in the country...
