A year ago, Colorado had one major offensive weakness. Heading into 2025, that weakness could turn into a significant strength.
Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur has stated throughout camp that he wants Colorado to run the football in 2025. That would be a significant change from last season. No team in the country rushed for fewer yards per game than the Buffaloes. Colorado averaged just 65.7 yards per game on the ground in 2024, ranking 134 out of 134 teams and nearly 12 full yards less than the second-worst team.
