When it comes time to send the field goal unit to the field this season, Colorado head football coach Mike MacIntyre is sure to feel good about his team at least coming away with three points.
Sophomore James Stefanou aims to improve upon his solid 2017 season, and he’s part of what the Buffaloes hope is a strong kicking game this season.
Leading up to fall camp, which starts Thursday, Buffzone.com is previewing each position group for the Buffs. In this installment, we take a look at the special teams, which could be among the best in the Pac-12.
Stefanou was recently named to the preseason watch list for the Lou Groza Award, while punter Alex Kinney was named to the watch list for the Ray Guy Award. CU is one of only nine schools around the country to have players on both lists.
Kickoff specialist Davis Price also returns after a strong 2017 season.
That trio gives MacIntyre plenty of confidence if the Buffs find themselves in close games where the kicking game could be a factor.
