BOULDER — If there was one overarching positive to be gleaned from the Colorado Buffaloes' narrow loss to Texas A&M last weekend, it was this:
Karl Dorrell's team can line up and go head-to-head in the trenches with the big boys.
That is a trait the 1-1 Buffs will need to continue to display the rest of the season, beginning with Saturday's 11 a.m. home game against 1-1 Minnesota at Folsom Field (Pac-12 Network). The Gophers are a prototypical Big Ten program, averaging nearly 200 yards per game on the ground while limiting opponents to just two rushing touchdowns in two games this year.
