BOULDER — The face was pure poker, stone and dissatisfied. Karl Dorrell knew the question was coming, the narrative elephant in the room.
“It wasn’t an emotional experience for me until the end of the game for our players,” Dorrell said, matter-of-factly, after CU’s season-opening 48-42 win over UCLA on Saturday night before a lonely, near-empty Folsom Field.
“I’m proud of the players. For me, personally, you know, I haven’t been on the UCLA sidelines in over 13 years. I’ve (had) four or five stops since then, so there wasn’t any personal reaction from my standpoint because of me being an alumni out there.
