It’s not like Colorado is threatening to win the Big 12 or get a BCS bowl invite anytime soon, but Buff fans should be concerned that their prized QB, Tyler Hansen, will miss the rest of the regular season because of a ruptured spleen. The junior was injured in the second quarter of the Texas Tech game in which they actually kept it close in a 27-24 losing effort. During the second quarter, Hansen was hit hard on an option...
In a long-overdue move, Colorado Coach Dan Hawkins finally demoted his son and former starter Cody Hawkins to 2nd string. QB Tyler Hansen emerged from the younger Hawkins’ shadow and stole the starting job. Colorado fans have always favored Hansen over Hawkins and look forward to him bringing back some swagger to a team that was 3-9 last season. With Hawkins on the hot seat and fans clamoring for a coaching change, it’s safe to say that Hansen will...
The Colorado Buffaloes are next in the receiving line of USC transfers as WR Travon Patterson is headed to the Centennial State. The senior WR never got a chance to shine at USC being he was buried in the depth chart of the talented rich WR pool. As a Trojan, the speedster did return punts and saw some special teams playing time but as a WR he only amassed 10 catches for 96 yards, hardly NFL material. Though he only...
Photo source: Life.com For all you Colorado fans, you can’t seem to catch a break, unless of course we are talking about a broken fibula. As Thursday’s scrimmage was coming to a close, senior WR Scotty McKnight suffered an injury to his leg. The injury occurred when McKnight was making a sideline catch and was forced out of bounds. He apparently ran into one of the walls and railings that caused him to step awkwardly resulting in his injury....
It’s going to be awfully quite at the Hawkins house this Thanksgiving season. Apparently after Dan Hawkins continues his unsuccessful run as a head coach, he’s decided to indirectly blame his son for the Buffs’ woes and their 3-8 season In a nutshell, Hawkins spoke out to the media saying he regretted bringing his son Cody Hawkins into the program because it just didn’t work out. If he had to do it again, coach said he wouldn’t have recruited...
Cody Hawkins has been given every single chance to perform this season and–surprise surprise– has failed miserably. His coach and father continued to start Hawkins despite his terrible 2009 campaign. This season, Hawkins has an aplatry 1-4 record throwing 9 TDs and 9 INTs. For Colorado, nepotism was not such a bright idea. Even with a strong father-and-son bond, Coach Dan Hawkins has finally recognized that it’s time to move on. It looks like QB Tyler Hansen will start calling the shots from under center. During...
What did we learn in Week 2. First, I’m a big fan of nepotism, but there is a point when a coach has to pull his son out of the game. It is clear that Cody Hawkins is not a good QB and the Toledo defense exposed his lack of talent all night long. Even when down several scores in the 4th quarter, his dad kept him in the game. As a result, he may have suffered a concussion...
The Colorado Buffaloes continue to take hits. This time, WR Markques Simas (So. 6’2, 215 lbs.) has been suspended by the team. Simas is quick with great hands. He is projected to be the go-to guy this season as the WR position is extremely thin and inexperienced. Coach Dan Hawkins states the suspension is for violation of team rules. As of now, Simas will miss the first two games of the season against in-state rival Colorado State and then...
