CU's Tucker Praises Blocking Of Buffs Receivers
BOULDER — Colorado head coach Mel Tucker didn't see much that surprised him when he watched tape of Friday night's 52-31 season-opening Buffs win over Colorado State.
Most of what Tucker saw simply confirmed what he had seen during the game.
But there were some things that jumped out when he reviewed the film, including the job CU's receivers did blocking downfield. While it's not a task many folks equate with being a wide receiver, it's an integral part of playing wideout for the Buffs — and Tucker liked what he saw in the opener. Along with coming up with some key receptions, Colorado's receivers also had some big blocks in the run game, including some key knockdowns on touchdown runs.
