A year ago, Phillip Lindsay took his game to another level.
The Colorado running back went from being a solid contributor early in his career to one of the most versatile backs in the country last season.
A lot of that credit goes to Lindsay, who is a tireless worker. It's no coincidence, however, that's Lindsay's breakout season came with Darian Hagan back on the sidelines.
"Coach Hagan brings a lot to the table for us," said Lindsay, now a senior with the Buffaloes. "He's actually brought out my game so much."
