CU Buffs football notes: Gonzalez's kickoffs tough to replace
After losing kicker Diego Gonzalez for the season with a torn Achilles, the Colorado football team will spend the week looking at junior Chris Graham and freshman walk-on Davis Price.
Graham and Price will compete for two separate jobs this week: place kicking and handling kickoffs. Ultimately, replacing Gonzalez as a place kicker may not be that difficult for the Buffs, but they might really miss him on kickoffs.
As a place kicker, Gonzalez never found consistency, making just 21 of 33 kicks (63.6 percent) during his career. He was especially erratic on longer kicks.
From 32 yards or less: 14 of 16 (87.5 percent)
From 33 yards or more: 7 of 17 (41.2 percent)
