BOULDER — No different than most days, Kurt Roper made his way over to the Colorado quarterbacks for practice.
Big difference from most days, the QB coach is now running the show on an interim basis after the firing of Mike MacIntyre.
One of Roper’s first orders of business Monday was a brief team meeting to discuss the situation with MacIntyre, who was let go with three years left on his contract and with the team in a six-game skid.
Then, the focus went right back on preparing for California (6-4, 3-4 Pac-12) — a team the Buffaloes (5-6, 2-6) need to beat on the road to become bowl-eligible for the second time in three seasons.
