BOULDER — Mel Tucker could see it in his guys’ eyes on Friday, to a man. Even better, he could see it in their conditioning numbers.
“Our GPS numbers this week were higher than they were last week,” the CU Buffs’ first-year coach said after a 34-31 overtime win against Nebraska on Saturday in his Folsom Field debut.
“We came out on ‘Fast Friday’… our numbers were high, our guys looked quick, and I knew that we were in great shape. And I knew Nebraska would have to come here, in our place, at altitude, and have to play 60 minutes.
