Colorado Football 2020 Season Preview: Defensive Line

Football is a game for big men. Mel Tucker said it in his introductory press conference a year ago, and while he’s said a lot of things that don’t hold true (“I’m not taking another job”), this statement holds up. You need big boys to win football games. If they are talented big boys, that’s all the better. The Colorado Buffaloes have had a lot of flaws in the last 15 years, but among the largest is the lack of talented beef in the trenches. The defensive line talent and depth has been concerning. I can count the number of dynamic pass rushers on one hand, two if I have rose-colored glasses.
