LINCOLN, Neb.—Colorado could be playing for its coach’s job on Friday against Nebraska, just like the Cornhuskers were in 2007 during their last visit to Boulder.
The Buffaloes go into the game 3-8 and will post their fourth straight losing record under Dan Hawkins. In 2007, Nebraska fired Bill Callahan the day after a 65-51 loss at Colorado ended a 5-7 season.
Center Jacob Hickman said he remembers the turmoil well. He said there’s probably a split between players who like Hawkins and those who don’t. Hickman says no matter how the players feel about their coach, it’ll be an emotional game for them.
Hickman said CU played tough in a 31-28 loss at Oklahoma State last week and that he expects nothing less than the Buffs’ best effort Friday.
