With several veterans vying for three starting spots, there are no days off for the Colorado safeties.

“It’s heated,” senior said of the daily competition in practice.

“Everyone is hungry, and it’s great to see because you don’t want to see anyone getting complacent. We have so much fight and so much competition on the field.”

CU’s experience and maturity at safety could be a huge boost to a defense looking to once again be among the best in the Pac-12.

Moeller and fellow senior are the most experienced of the group. In fact, they represent two of the three returning starters on CU’s entire defense (along with inside linebacker ).

In addition to Moeller and Laguda, the Buffs have juniors , Evan Worthington and in the mix.

“From Day 1, it could be anybody going out there with the ones, so you really have to pay attention because we watch the film closely,” Fisher said. “If one guy messes up, we have two other guys who can come in for your spot. Just be smart at safety right now.”
