ANN ARBOR, Mich. — During his postgame press conference on Saturday evening in Ann Arbor, Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre announced that kicker Diego Gonzalez will miss the remainder of the season with a torn left Achilles' tendon.

Leaving the stadium on crutches and with his foot in a boot, Gonzalez maintained hope that wasn't true.

"Doctors told me they want to get a second opinion," Gonzalez said. "I'm just trying to stay positive to see what the doctors back in Boulder tell me."

Gonzalez, who has been off to a great start this season, was injured after a kickoff early in the third quarter.
