BOULDER — It was hardly the start that and the Colorado offense wanted for the annual spring game.
On the first play of the afternoon at Folsom Field, Montez dropped back to pass, threw a deep ball to receiver , only to have it picked off by safety and returned the other way 39 yards.
“Uhh,” Montez sighed. “Obviously you don’t want to come out here and throw picks. That’s what we don’t want to do as quarterbacks.”
For Montez and the Buffaloes, however, it was how the rest of the day that went that left them feeling good about their quarterbacks as they put a cap on spring drills.
Playing in front of estimated 6,250 fans, the Buffs went through an hour of drills before closing with an hour of situational scrimmage time.
“I saw a lot of energy,” head coach said. “We executed a lot of things. There’s good and bad both sides; that’s really what you want, to see if people compete and learn from different situations. We got out of here with no injuries, which was good, and I thought we had a competitive day out there.”
While the Buffs didn’t open up the playbook, and focused a lot of their attention on their younger players, the afternoon gave fans a chance to see the Buffs’ new crop of quarterbacks.
