BOULDER – There has been a lot of next man up recently for the Colorado Buffaloes. Another spot where that motto applies, kicker. Starter Diego Gonzalez will miss the remainder of the season with a torn Achilles in his kicking leg, meaning Chris Graham is likely the next man up.
Although he hasn’t been named the starter just yet Graham has by far the most experience and had clearly been the backup for Gonzalez. Joining Graham in the competition to replace Gonzalez is Davis Price. The Buffs actually have one more kicker on their roster in Nick Porter but starting punter Alex Kinney when recruited was thought to be an option as a kicker as well.
