CU Position Preview: Buffs Build Depth, Emphasize Versatility On O-Line

BOULDER — New Colorado offensive line coach Kyle DeVan likes the depth the Buffaloes bring to the table this year up front.

But along with some solid starters and backups he believes can produce, DeVan has emphasized another quality across the line — versatility.

DeVan wants players who can not only play one position well, but can move to another spot on the line and be equally productive.

The result, he believes, means the ability to put your best players on the field.

"Having that versatility allows you to play the best five or the best six," said DeVan, who joined Karl Dorrell's staff last winter from Michigan, where he worked as an offensive analyst.
