Establishing 'Culture' Will Be Big Priority For Tucker's Buffs In Spring Ball

BOULDER — When Colorado football head coach Mel Tucker opens his first spring practice with the Buffaloes, installing new offensive and defensive schemes will no doubt be high on his "to-do" list.

But equally important for CU's new coach and his staff will be establishing a culture within the team, something Tucker stressed in a Monday press conference.

"How we practice, how we prepare, how we work," Tucker said. "Although we have to get our schemes installed on both sides of the ball, I want to make sure that we're putting our guys in position every day where they can be evaluated and we can find out who can play.
