BOULDER — While this year’s Colorado football team was touted as being a more experienced, deeper team when the season began, those terms are relative.
Experienced, yes — because a number of players who had significant playing time as freshmen and sophomores were back as sophomores and juniors. Experienced for the same reason.
But when the clock hits 00:00 for the 2015 Buffaloes on Saturday in Utah (12:37 p.m. kickoff, Pac-12 Networks), the Buffs will still be one of the younger teams in the nation.
After 12 games — a normal college football schedule — CU’s seniors have accounted for just 55 starts this season.
