Buffs Notes: Dorrell Says McCown Will Start Vs. Arizona

BOULDER — To almost no one's surprise, Colorado coach Karl Dorrell confirmed Monday that true freshman Owen McCown will be the Buffaloes' starting quarterback again Saturday when CU travels to Arizona.

The Buffs (0-4 overall, 0-1 Pac-12) and Wildcats (2-2, 0-1) are scheduled to kick off at 7:30 p.m. at Arizona Stadium in Tucson with the game to be televised by the Pac-12 Networks.

McCown made his starting debut last weekend in a 45-17 loss to UCLA, finishing 26-for-42 for 258 yards, a touchdown and an interception, along with one rushing touchdown.
