Driving down a mountain road while returning from a summer getaway with the family, Colorado defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot spoke with a little more confidence than he did a year ago.
One year into his job of running the Buffaloes' defense, Eliot's comfortable in Boulder and more familiar with the players he has to work with this fall.
"I feel better than last year," Eliot said. "We have a group of guys that got a lot of experience last year and I think we have a lot of talented guys who are either newcomers because they're junior college guys or because they redshirted last year.
