BOULDER — Colorado freshman defensive back Mark Perry remembers what it was like for him and his fellow newcomers in fall camp.
Matched against the Buffaloes' top-flight receiving corps on a regular basis, it meant a rapid initiation and some long days for the youngsters.
"It was really ugly," Perry said with a laugh this week. "Compared to now, we look like we belong out there, like we've been out there for a little bit. There's still room to improve, we're not there yet and we have a lot more work to do — but compared to when we first got here, it's a lot better.
