Colorado’s 2023 season was a roller coaster ride of emotions. The Buffs began the Coach Prime era with a bang, jumping out to a 3-0 record in September, but hit a 1-8 skid to finish the season 4-8. December recruiting successes have brought those 3-0 feelings back, however, and I’m all here for that.
