Fall camp for the Colorado Buffaloes has seen both the offense and defense win on different days. Just recently on Aug. 16, it was noted by CUBuffs.com that the defense was improving in the turnover department, a welcome sight to any Buffs fan who watched the limited amount of turnovers generated last season.
But on Saturday, the offense shined brightest during Colorado’s second scrimmage of fall camp. From Neil Woelk at CUBuffs.com:
“Offensively, we were able to engineer some plays and get some points on the board, which is what we need to do,” CU head coach Karl Dorrell said. “Defensively, they shot themselves in the foot … they played really well until the penalties started to show up. That’s what we can’t do. We have some work to do in understanding that penalties is how you can lose games.”
Although Colorado’s front seven, a defensive group that I’m particularly excited about, proved strong again in a critical area. Woelk highlighted the Buffs’ pass rushers for their ability to put pressure on the QB in the second scrimmage (h/t CUBuffs.com):
— Pass rush improving. It wasn’t all bad news for the defense Saturday. The Buffs continue to show an improved ability to put pressure on the quarterback, another big priority of camp. The defense produced four sacks in the scrimmage from four different players. It’s a sign Chris Wilson‘s defense is going to throw a variety of looks at offenses and make sure the pressure is coming from different directions, something no quarterback likes to see.
