For each and every player on Colorado football’s revamped roster, the next month-plus of spring practices are critical. Head coach Deion Sanders has high expectations for the Buffs next season and the necessary work to achieve those goals is already underway.
During Coach Prime’s second spring in Boulder, new coordinators Pat Shurmur and Robert Livington will continue examining Colorado’s strengths while a slew of new players will be learning their new roles as well.
