Colorado doesn’t have the luxury of going into next football season with a bunch of experience on its offensive line.
Instead, the Buffaloes are counting on competition within the group to fuel the line. With that in mind, co-offensive coordinator/offensive line coach Klayton Adams feels the Buffs got better last week with the addition of Kary Kutsch, a versatile tackle from Butte (Calif.) College.
The late addition of Kutsch was in response to the Buffs losing tackle to medical retirement this spring.
“I don’t think in that type of situation you just go out and grab just anybody,” Adams said. “You go out and say, ‘Is there someone who is good enough to compete for a starting job?’ Luckily, in my opinion, we found somebody who is good enough to compete for a position in our group.”
The 6-foot-4, 300-pound Kutsch, who can also play guard, fills a need for depth. His signing is also a testament to the fact that the Buffs truly are a work in progress on the line, with several spots up for grabs.
