For many Colorado football fans, watching the Buffaloes this year has been a breath of fresh, Rocky Mountain air. Particularly because of how bad football had been in Boulder the last decade.
From 2006 to 2015, Colorado had won a total of 35 games, averaging less than four victories each season. And the best year of that stretch—2007—ended with a comeback attempt that fell short against Alabama in the Independence Bowl. Colorado finished with a losing record (6-7), which has been an uncomfortable norm since 2006.
Motivated by their best start in years and fresh off a big win against Arizona to remain atop the Pac-12 South standings, the Buffaloes are all about success.
