One of the Most Electrifying Players In CU History Was 71
BOULDER — Cliff Branch, one of – if not the – most electrifying players in the University of Colorado football history, passed away from natural causes in Bullhead City, Ariz., on Saturday. He had just turned 71 last Thursday (August 1).
He had arrived in Arizona the previous day for a trade show, which he spent many summers doing since he retired from football.
"Cliff was easily one of the best two-sport athletes we've ever had at Colorado," CU athletic director Rick George said.
