-More scrimmage notes from other sources. Nothing really ground breaking that wasn't already reported yesterday. I was a little surprised that G Max Tuioti-Mariner was already in the starting lineup next to Matt Bahr. I thought Devin Head would have the nod in the first scrimmage but that just shows you that the recruiting sites got it right when they ranked Max a top lineman even though he didn't play his senior year of high school. I am also glad they are stressing the turnover issue as that is something that the Buffs cannot continue from last year. The Boulder Daily Camera also chimes in with another very similar review to all other pubs. They reiterated the point we made Saturday...it's Cody Hawkins and then there is nobody even close to him in talent at the quarterback position.
-Woody Paige is crazy. I had to read this article twice to try and understand what he meant by a few of his sayings? S-Troop? Woody likes Scott and Speedy a lot, thats all I took from the article.
-The 39 yard run heard around the world. Its going to be the play that everyone refers to as the day they knew Scott would be great and every publication is really really hyping it up for that reason. Soon the story will drop the fact that he got caught from behind and people will add in that it was a broken play and he eluded 3 would be tacklers.
-The word that you hear now more than you have in the last three years is "competition". The Colorado Buffaloes have not had the players for a deep competition race but now depth, although it might be full of youth, is breeding competition at key positions like offensive guard, linebacker, running back and at corner, that .
-Relive the biggest win in the Hawkins-era courtesy of FSN who will be showing a 1 hour cut of the OU game last year.
-Amen Ryan Thorburn, Amen. It is Jimmy Smith's time to shine. He brings up a very good point that if the Buffs hope to contend in the pass happy Big 12, the Buffs will need 4 to 5 cornerbacks to really excel. Pat White, Colt McCoy, Todd Reesing, Josh Freeman, Chase Daniel and Joey Ganz will all be knocking on the defense's door.
-Nate Solder will be the left tackle and Ryan Miller will be the right tackle. I thought for sure they would have put Miller on the left side to protect Hawkins' blind side. Plus, Miller is the more experienced of the two and you could possibly hide Solder on the right side away from the more skilled defensive end pass rushers.
