Having started every game of the 2017 season and being the only quarterback on the Colorado roster with much experience, Steven Montez seems to be firmly entrenched as the starter going into next season.
Montez isn't taking anything for granted, however.
"I come in when football starts and I'm out there working like it's not my job, and it's really not," Montez said Friday after the first practice of the spring for the Buffaloes. "The position is up for grabs every year and that's how I treat it. I go in every year and I compete."
Competition is the key word for Montez and the rest of the quarterbacks this spring, as they look to do their part to make the Buffs more efficient offensively.
