That marked the fourth Big 12 North championship for Colorado in the past five years. The team has its 23rd new head coach Dan Hawkins. ''The Sporting News'' gave out the only A+ to Colorado in the category of coaching hire. The Buffaloes will play their home games in Folsom Field. They finished the season 2–10 (2–6 in the Big 12 Conference) and had some major disappointments.

The offense appeared to struggle to learn the new system and early quarterback uncertainty did not allow the team to have consistency. The defense performed excellently at times and was good overall, but without the offense producing points, Colorado would ...
