CU Buffs, Coach Prime recruiting with “different level of energy” than rivals Nebraska, CSU Rams, experts say

Published Mon, 24 Feb 2025 08:15:33 GMT

BOULDER — Zach Hilbers has entertained saints, sinners, swindlers, senseis, sharks, sages and savants. But he’d never seen any coach do what CU Buffs defensive line coach Sal Sunseri did a few months back while he was recruiting Brandon Davis-Swain.“He had Brandon do hand-fighting drills with him in my home room,” Hilbers, the football coach at West Bloomfield (Mich.) High School, recalled with a laugh. “He was just like, ‘Hey, Brandon, stand up.

While offensive coordinator Sean Lewis never strayed from running the ball, 55 yards on 34 carries (1.6 yards/carry) will not work long-term. Even more worrisome this week: Nebraska just held Minnesota, a program that prides itself on being able to shove the ball down opponents’ throats, to just 55 yards on 25 carries.Air it out: That being said, it’s not as if the Buffs got zero production from their running backs last week. In fact, freshman RB Dylan Edwards led CU in receiving yards (135). And that was with three receivers topping 100 yards against TCU: Travis Hunter (119), Xavier Weaver (...
