Colorado has struggled on special teams in the past few years, but early in preseason camp, the Buffs are working to fix that.
“We did more special teams in our first three days than we did in the last couple of years,” head coach said. “I’ve reorganized it to put more of an emphasis. It’s looked really good the first few days.”
New assistant coach Ross Els, who works with inside linebackers, is also coordinating special teams.
“I’ve done special teams almost my whole life, so I love being involved in that stuff,” Els said. “It needs to be (top notch) at this level, no matter how you do it. I didn’t watch what they did in the past; I just know that that needs to be a big part of what we do.”
So far, so good, as MacIntyre said the kickers — senior , sophomore and true freshman James Stefanou — have displayed exceptional power in their legs.
MacIntyre said the kickers look better than at any point since 2014, when punter Darragh O’Neill and kicker Will Oliver were seniors.
